Expedict is pleased to announce that the company has successfully attained Maturity Level Three (the highest level attainable) across all eight Australian Signals Directorate’s Essential Eight Cyber Threat Mitigation Strategies.

While no set of mitigation strategies is guaranteed to protect against all cyber threats, implementing the Australian Signals Directorate's (ASD) Essential Eight Cyber Threat Mitigation Strategies helps businesses make it much harder for adversaries to compromise their systems.

What Types of Cyber Threats are Targeted by the Essential Eight?

The types of cyber threats targeted and addressed by the Essential Eight Cyber Threat Mitigation Strategies include:

• targeted cyber intrusion, such as those executed by advanced persistent threats (i.e. foreign intelligence services) and other external adversaries who steal data,

• ransomware denying access to data for monetary gain, and external adversaries with destructive intent (i.e. to destroy data and prevent computers/networks from functioning),

• malicious insiders who steal data such as customer details or intellectual property, and/or who destroy data and prevent computers/networks from functioning,

• Business Email Compromise (BEC), where an adversary uses email to trick someone into sending money or divulging confidential company information, and

• industrial control systems.

What does this mean for Clients?

The implementation of the Essential Eight Cyber Threat Mitigation Strategies, as well as the successful and ongoing attainment of both ISO:27001 (Information Security Management Systems) and ISO:9001 (Quality Systems) Certifications means that Expedict’s clients can continue to have peace of mind that their data is safe with Expedict.

Data security in the cloud, privacy protections, and confidentiality remain key factors clients consider before engaging a transcription company to transcribe their confidential and highly sensitive recordings.

Expedict’s recent move to the cloud and IT infrastructure improvements provide added layers of protections to client data and improve data security in the cloud.

The decision to move to cloud-based data storage was made after considerable deliberation, observation of the developing data security in the cloud environment, the encroaching obsolescence of physical hardware, including servers, and careful assessment of risk – both to clients, contractors, suppliers, and to Expedict itself.

Expedict now utilises Australian-based instances of the Microsoft Azure cloud network. Many features of this cloud-based network enhance the security of data, and therefore the security and confidentiality of client information.

Clients can rest assured that Expedict’s cloud-based data storage is safe and secure.

Contact us on FREEPHONE 0800 910 1410 to find out more on how Expedict is leading UK transcription companies in data security in the cloud.

As data breaches and hacks become increasingly commonplace, it’s good to know Expedict is keeping your data safe and secure.

Data Security is front of mind for many people today. Reports of major data breaches and data theft being committed by bad actors are on the rise. Ordinary citizens are having their personal and confidential information compromised, shared and sold on the dark web.

Data Security has been front of mind for Expedict for many years. Protecting client information and having strong and robust processes on data security is one of the reasons Expedict pursued and attained ISO 27001 Information Security Management System certification.

For more information on Expedict’s data security practices and measures, view our security and privacy policies under Quick Links, orcall us today on FREEPHONE 0800 910 1410.

In June 2022, as part of the global Pacific Solutions network, Expedict achieved ISO 27001 certification. ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems standard is the leading international standard focused on information security.

Achieving and maintaining the ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems standard is just one of the many ways we demonstrate maintaining and protecting our information, and our client’s information.

We understand the importance of maintaining strong and robust systems, and we’re proud to be ISO 27001 certified.

This internationally recognised standard gives our clients, and us, peace of mind, knowing our information security systems are safe and protected.

A number of our clients require their transcription work performed exclusively in a specific jurisdiction, such as a single country, territory, region, or even city.

These security measures must meet strict data protection criteria as set out in the governing country’s legislation, acts, regulations, directives and bills.

The key legislation in the United Kingdom in relation to data protection is the Data Protection Act 2018.

This act controls how personal information is used by organisations, businesses or the government. The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK's implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

At Expedict we understand the importance of meeting these legislative requirements. We have many measures in place which ensure we have the best possible processes and systems available to our clients.

Our clients know that where restricted access matters, Expedict delivers.

How do we do this?

We provide secure and geographically locked down transcription services to our clients. We have a bespoke data flow software system which supports restricted access at a client level, down to an individual file level. Our systems undergo regular reviews, audits and updates. Our auditable checks and balances ensure files cannot leave that assigned jurisdiction.

Call us today on FREEPHONE 0800 910 1410 to find out more about our restricted access services, and the wide range of other transcription services we provide.

Using your mobile to dictate has never been easier. Many business professionals dictate letters, notes, advices and reports on a daily basis. Using the device you have at hand – your mobile – means you can dictate wherever you are, whenever suits you.

The quality of inbuilt microphones in mobiles has excelled in the last few years.

Long gone are the days when the only way you could produce exceptional audio for dictations, as well as access specialised dictation functions, was by using an expensive, high-end, specialised professional digital dictation device, such as a Dictaphone.

Today, every mobile has the capacity to record crystal clear audio because the in-built microphones are of exceptional quality.

Pairing your mobile with the Dictate + Connect (Dictamus) dictation app or a similar professional dictation app (which feature all the functionality of a Dictaphone i.e. Insert, Overwrite), means dictating audio for transcription has never been easier.

If you don’t want to purchase a third-party professional dictation app, that’s fine. There is a Voice Recorder App on most Androids and the recording quality is excellent, uploads in .m4a format, has record/pause function, and you can change the audio file name. This is a very convenient function when using Expedict’s transcription services.

What’s more, it’s easy to upload your dictations from your mobile, to your Expedict secure client account.

Once you’ve set up the default pathway to retrieve audio from your phone for upload, simply log into your secure online account with Expedict on your mobile’s browser, and upload your files, to be transcribed within the timeframe which suits you.

Save precious time, money and resources by using your mobile to dictate. If you are an Expedict transcription client, follow the instructions below to quickly upload your audio files from your mobile to your secure client login with Expedict.

Step-by-step instructions for Dictating with a Voice Recorder App on Your Android:

• Using Google Chrome, enter the following: https://www.expedict.com

• Click on the 3 dots at the top right of your screen and select 'Add to Home Screen'. This will create a shortcut app on your mobile's home screen.

• You can arrange your Voice Recorder App and the Expedict shortcut beside each other on your mobile.

• Record your audio file(s) via your recorder app, click on the Expedict app, and enter your username and password.

• Select upload new audio.

• Scroll down to select files, then files.

• Click 'audio' (options are images, audio, videos etc).

• Upload.
