DSD Gateway - What is a Secure Gateway for government?
Australian Government Standards, such as ASCI-33, require Federal Government Agencies to
manage access to the Internet and mail services in a secure manner to “in-confidence”,
“protected” or “highly protected” level. Macquarie Telecom is one of a select group of
companies that provide these DSD Secure Gateway services to the required and accredited standard (as
prescribed by DSD - Defence Signals Directorate) for all government, State, Local and
Federal.
A DSD gateway is a series of firewalls standing between the public Internet and an
agency's internal local area network, providing a clean Internet feed to you.
The quality of this service is built not only around the computing and software, but
also the secure building, processes and quality of staff required to house and run such a
facility. Macquarie Telecom is expert in this area, and meets the rigorous and ever
changing requirements of DSD Accreditation to their full certification.
In addition, Macquarie Telecom provides related services including government anti spam, virus
filtering and hosting (or housing) of your Internet sites and other computer applications
such as email, financial or payroll servers.
What is secure server hosting for government?
Server Hosting is the housing and management of your specialist computer servers that run your
key software including websites, payroll systems, email, databases and other critical
information, in a very secure environment.

advanced management tool interface providing control, flexibility and reliability
Favourable location
Placement of the Macquarie Telecom main data centre in Sydney rather than Canberra offers
some major advantages including acting as a Disaster Recovery Site for
Government applications. The Sydney site was chosen carefully, following an
assessment that showed that Canberra currently has only one electricity
connection point into the ACT. This is viewed as a risk to customers who host
computer servers or internet gateways in Canberra facilities. Canberra is also
on a key seismic zone for earthquakes.
The Australia Data Centre location provides a genuine option for Disaster Recovery for Federal Government Customers.
