We are thrilled about our successful ongoing attainment of the ISO/IEC 27001:2017 Certification, a significant set of milestones for a company of our size, who is navigating the vast ocean of business. These ongoing achievements not only reflect our commitment to information security but also holds profound implications for both our internal operations and the clients we work with.
So, what is ISO/IEC 27001:2017 Certification?
It is a globally recognised international standard that outlines the best practices for managing information security. Originally published in 2005 and updated in 2017, it offers a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Its primary goal is to enhance the security of an organisation’s information assets, ensuring a robust and resilient approach to safeguarding sensitive data – something that is of paramount importance in today’s business world.
Our Journey to ISO Certification
GlobalizeMe Digital embarked on this rigorous journey and were independently audited by the British Assessment Bureau on November 1st and 2nd, 2022 – dedicating nine months to meticulous preparation and internal auditing, no mean feat for a company of our size! After a further two-day surveillance audit on November 28th and 29th, 2023, we gained an extension of our certification for another year, with zero Improvement Opportunities and zero Non-Compliances raised. A great accomplishment!
Our auditor also commended our exemplary adoption, implementation and integration of the ISO 27001 standard into our business processes, highlighting our genuine commitment to the Information Security Management System.
