In an increasingly prevalent era of data breaches and cyber threats, ensuring robust information security management systems (ISMS) is crucial for businesses handling sensitive data. We are thrilled to announce that Mail & Deploy has achieved ISO 27001 certification, marking a significant milestone in our data security and privacy commitment.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management. It specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. This certification is recognized worldwide as a benchmark for managing information securely and demonstrates an organization’s commitment to protecting data assets.
The Journey to Certification
Achieving ISO 27001 certification is no small feat. It involves a rigorous assessment process that scrutinizes every aspect of an organization’s information security practices.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the team of Secfix, the platform for compliance automation, for their invaluable assistance throughout our certification journey. With Secfix’s innovative software and expert guidance, we were able to streamline our compliance process, making it significantly more efficient and effective. Their platform enabled us to seamlessly manage the complex requirements of ISO 27001, ensuring that we met all the necessary standards with confidence and precision.
Here’s a glimpse into what it took for Mail & Deploy to become ISO 27001 certified:
- Gap Analysis: We began by conducting a comprehensive gap analysis to identify areas where our current practices did not meet the ISO 27001 requirements.
- Risk Assessment: We performed a thorough risk assessment to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities and threats to our information security.
- Implementation of Controls: Based on the risk assessment, we implemented a series of security controls designed to mitigate identified risks. These controls span across various domains, including physical security, access control, incident management, and more.
- Documentation and Training: We developed extensive documentation to support our ISMS and provided training to all employees to ensure they understand and adhere to our security policies and procedures.
- Internal Audit: An internal audit was conducted to verify that our ISMS was functioning as intended and to identify any areas for improvement.
- External Audit: Finally, PROKS Certification, an accredited certification body, conducted an external audit to validate our compliance with ISO 27001 standards. Their thorough examination confirmed that Mail & Deploy meets the stringent requirements set forth by the standard.
