What is ISO27001?
ISO27001 is a global standard that helps us protect our information and our clients' data. Think of it as a blueprint for security, helping us build a secure house for all our valuable information.
Being ISO27001 certified means we're serious about keeping our data safe. It gives us a competitive edge and assures our clients that we have the right protections in place. Essentially,
It helps us:
Secure our work: It helps us identify and fix any security gaps, like weak passwords or risky habits.
Prevent attacks: By following its guidelines, we reduce the chances of a cyberattack or data breach.
Win trust: It shows clients we're a reliable and secure partner, which can help us win new business.
Think of GDPR as the ultimate rulebook for protecting personal information. It's a European law, but it applies to us and any business that handles data from people in Europe. It's all about giving individuals more control over their own information, like their name, email, or even their location data. We deal with a lot of personal data, from our clients' information to our own employee details. Following GDPR isn't just a legal requirement, it's a way of showing our clients and partners that we're serious about privacy.
It helps us:
Protect the data we handle: By following GDPR's rules, we make sure we're not misusing or losing personal information.
Build trust: Our clients need to know their data is safe with us. Being GDPR compliant shows them we're a reliable and secure partner.
Avoid penalties: Not following GDPR can lead to massive fines, so it's a critical part of our business operations.
