What is ISO Certification?
ISO certification is worldwide recognition that a system, process, service or set of procedures in an organisation meet requirements for standardisation and quality assurance.
There are literally hundreds of standards an organisation can be certified in, ISO9001 is probably the best known and most common. It defines the criteria for meeting a number of quality management principles.
The ISO certification AssetAccountant™ has achieved is ISO27001.
Our powerful import tools make it possible to migrate your existing asset registers in as little as 60 seconds.
What is ISO27001 and Why is it Important?
Its full reference is actually: ISO/IEC 27001 – Information technology — Security techniques — Information security management systems — Requirements.
It is an international standard developed for Information Security.
It enforces security controls not just for IT personnel, but implements best practice security methods across the whole business.
It help organisations to protect their data/information in a regulated manner via the development of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) with the 3 main objectives of:
(a) Confidentiality: Only authorised people have access to information.
(b) Integrity: Only authorised people can edit information.
(c) Availability: The information must be available to authorised people on demand.
To achieve certification, we developed, implemented and improved our information security processes, procedures and policy documentation.
We underwent a series of detailed internal audits before committing to a formal external audit by an ISO approved certifier – in our case we were audited and certified by international DNV-GL.
