ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø achieves ISO 27001 certification

We're delighted to announce that ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø has achieved ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This certification represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to protecting the data and privacy of our customers.

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management, published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure.

The standard encompasses a comprehensive set of controls covering:

• Information security policies: Documented procedures and guidelines for protecting data
• Risk management: Systematic identification and mitigation of security risks
• Access control: Ensuring only authorised personnel can access sensitive information
• Physical and environmental security: Protection of facilities and equipment
• Incident management: Processes for responding to and learning from security events
• Business continuity: Plans to maintain operations during disruptions
• Compliance: Adherence to legal and regulatory requirements

Why ISO 27001 matters for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø customers
