We are thrilled to announce that our managed IT services company has achieved ISO 27001 certification, one of the most coveted information security management standards in the world! This accreditation is a testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security and data protection for our clients. Here’s what it’s all about, what it means to you, and how we got here.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard that sets out the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). The standard provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company and customer information, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The certification is a validation of our ability to handle confidential data, manage security risks, and implement necessary security controls.
How this supports you, our clients
We’re an MSP that’s all about providing the best possible service, tech, and solutions to you. And in an age where cyber threats run rampant, ISO 27001 has become a vital way to do just that!
Information security is a critical issue for businesses of all sizes due to the ever-increasing threat and cost of cyber-attacks and data breaches – especially supply chain attacks. You deserve providers that take appropriate measures to protect their systems and your data from unauthorised access or malicious attacks. Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a crucial step in demonstrating our commitment to providing your business with the very best in world-class protection.
How we did it
The certification process involved a rigorous assessment of our information security policies, procedures, and practices. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure that our IT systems, processes, and people were all aligned to the requirements of the standard.
This included implementing 111 controls and measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our clients’ data. We have also implemented security controls to manage risks related to access control, data protection, incident management, and business continuity. Finally, our robust IT security management system is set up for continual monitoring, reviews, and improvements as the environment changes.
To ensure we really did get there, the certification process involved an audit conducted by an independent third-party auditor who verified our compliance with the standard.
Our team has worked tirelessly to achieve this certification, and we are incredibly proud of this significant accomplishment! Taking our place among the elite group of companies that have achieved this prestigious certification is a true honour, so thank you for all your hard work!
Going forward – Onward and upward!
By achieving ISO 27001 certification, you can be assured that we have implemented the highest security standards and best practices. You can be confident that your data is safe in our hands even as cyberthreats become more sophisticated and complex, as we’ll keep pushing to implement the most effective and innovative data security measures.
