This certification demonstrates our unwavering commitment to protecting the sensitive data entrusted to us by our clients and to safeguarding data with the most current and robust security practices available.
Understanding ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the international standard for managing information security. It is designed to help organizations implement an effective information security management system (ISMS) to protect sensitive data and manage risks related to cyber threats. By conforming to this standard, we ensure that our information security practices align with globally recognized best practices.
Why ISO 27001 matters
In today’s digital landscape, cyber-crime is on the rise, and new threats are constantly emerging. The ISO 27001 standard provides a framework that helps organizations like ours become risk-aware and proactively identify and address weaknesses. It promotes a holistic approach to information security, covering people, policies, and technology.
Three core principles of information security
- Confidentiality: Only the right people can access the information held by the organization.
- Risk Example: Criminals get hold of your clients’ login details and sell them on the Darknet.
- Information Integrity: Data that the organization uses to pursue its business or keeps safe for others is reliably stored and not erased or damaged.
- Risk Example: A staff member accidentally deletes a row in a file during processing.
- Availability of Data: The organization and its clients can access the information whenever it is necessary so that business purposes and customer expectations are satisfied.
- Risk Example: Your enterprise database goes offline because of server problems and insufficient backup.
