Information Security

The logistics industry is heavily reliant on IT to support every aspect of day-to-day operations.  AAW Group is no exception, virtually all our business and information are processed through IT systems.  For that reason, any disruption to the IT environment or systems is a serious matter that can lead to significant losses and inconveniences.

AAW is committed to maintaining the highest standard of cyber security to protect our people, customers, partners, data, and systems from the ever-increasing risk posed by cyber criminals, malware, and phishing attacks.  We have dedicated resources to monitor, counter and minimize these risks as much as possible.

We recognize that no cyber defence strategy is perfect, but we seek to minimize the risks by partnering with specialists in the cyber security sector to ensure that our multi-layered defence strategy includes the latest knowledge and countermeasures to protect our systems and environment.

Our cyber security strategy is defined by the following key points:
