However,\nas we have grown, we have become more aware that having our systems independently\nverified is the best way to assure our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, we have chosen to be audited against the\nwidely adopted ISO 27001 standard. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nqa.com\/en-gb\/clients\/accreditations\">NQA<\/a>, a highly\nreputable UKAS-accredited certification body, will be undertaking the audits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Ames, director at i3Works, said: \u201cWe have already passed\nthe stage one audit, which sets us in good stead for stage two, which will take\nplace shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are working closely with our new sister company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.i3secure.co.uk\/\">i3Secure<\/a>, whose expertise in cyber\nsecurity and data protection is adding support to, and assessment of, our own systems.\nGiven their in-depth knowledge of the process, they know exactly what is\nexpected from ISO 27001, and are guiding us along the journey to make sure we\nmeet all the requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason McAdam, i3Secure director, said: \u201cOur consultants have\nhelped many companies through the ISO 27001 journey over their careers. We know\nhow daunting it can be for those unfamiliar with it, so we are happy to apply\nour knowledge to support i3Works through the necessary steps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following successful completion of Stage 2 audits, i3Works\nwill become fully certified to ISO 27001 and a certificate will be awarded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Day to day activities are not really been\nrestricted,\u201d continued Ben, \u201cbut thanks to i3Secure we now have a clearer\nunderstanding of how to protect information, arguably the world\u2019s greatest\ncommodity. Having experts in the field of data security working alongside us\nmade the task simple, and also more likely to produce greater value in the\nlonger term.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are in the early stages of the journey to ensure that we meet ISO 27001 standards for information security and data protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[11,9,13,12,10],"class_list":["post-232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cyber-security","tag-i3secure","tag-isms","tag-iso27001","tag-nqa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232\/revisions\/233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.i3works.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
