We’ve got ISO 27001 certification!
We’ve recently received ISO 27001 certification! It may not sound exciting, but it’s actually quite a big deal. It means we meet the international standard for information security management.
In other words, it means our data protection standards are the highest possible. That’s great news for us, and for all our customers. Data protection has been a growing public concern in recent years, and with good reason.
If information is compromised, it can be a disaster. That’s doubly true for business. If you have a data breach, it can cause huge damage to your finances and reputation. It’s our business to make sure that doesn’t happen.
We provide a range of managed IT services, from cloud migration to cybersecurity and disaster recovery. In everything we do, information security is paramount. So our ISO 27001 accreditation confirms we’re doing something right! This blog is about what the certification means, and what it says about our IT services.
What’s an Information Security Management System?
Essentially, it’s a strategy for information security and privacy. An ISMS will document the protocols and controls an organisation uses to keep digital information safe and protected from threats and vulnerabilities.
How do you get ISO 27001 certification?
It’s pretty thorough. First things first, you create an ISMS based on the ISO 27001 guidelines. The next step is to apply to an independent certification body (CB). The CB appoints an auditor, and from there, it’s a two-stage audit process.
At stage one, the auditor makes sure your procedures match the ISO 27001 guidelines. If there are no gaps, stage two begins. This is a more in-depth look at those procedures in action. So if stage one is making sure you talk the talk, stage two confirms you walk the walk!
How long does ISO 27001 certification last?
Once you’ve qualified, ISO 27001 Kitemark certification lasts three years. During that time, the auditor will regularly check that you’re continuously improving. After three years, the certification expires and you’ve got to start the whole process again.
Does ISO 27001 certification matter?
In a word, yes! We live in an age of increasing concern over data protection. People are more aware of it than ever, and with good reason. Cybercrime is a constant threat, and any data breach can be incredibly costly. Quite simply, customers deserve reassurance that their information is held securely. For a company like ours, this is crucial. We provide a range of telecom and IT services to other businesses, including cloud storage. ISO 27001 Kitemark certification proves that we can be trusted to do this responsibly!
How ISO 27001 benefits our customers
In short, our ISO 27001 Kitemark certification shows our customers that their information is safe with us. We provide a huge range of managed ICT services to businesses, from backups, monitoring and cybersecurity to full network management, and from telephony to print.
This inevitably means we are handling sensitive information. Our business customers have to know that we’re doing this responsibly so that their records are safe. The certification confirms we meet the highest international standard.
