What is ISO 27001, and Why Does It Matter?

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management. It’s a framework that helps companies manage and protect their data systematically, ensuring that risks are identified, mitigated, and continuously monitored.

For a company like OPT/NET, working in telecom and data-heavy critical infrastructure industries, achieving this certification is essential. It ensures that we have all the right measures in place to keep our clients' data safe, whether it's sensitive network performance data, customer information, or other critical business intelligence. Compliance with ISO 27001 ensures that a company's culture and activities are geared towards constant vigilance and proactive risk management. 

The Journey to Certification

Earning this certification didn’t happen overnight. It involved a lot of work from our team to make sure we met all the stringent requirements of the ISO 27001 standard:

1. Risk Assessment: Potential security risks were mapped out , from cyberattacks to internal data breaches, and everything in between.

2. Security Controls: Once the risks were identified, appropriate security measures were set up. This meant implementing everything from secure access controls and data encryption to robust disaster recovery plans. We also ensure business continuity through regular monitoring and updates, both to our security policies and risk management strategies, to stay ahead of potential threats.

3. Internal Audits: Our own systems were tested through a series of internal audits, making sure all the security measures were functioning as expected.

4. External Audit: Finally, an external auditor was invited to evaluate our information security management system. This independent audit verified that everything was in line with ISO 27001 standards.

What This Means for Our Clients

This certification isn't just a badge of honor —it’s a guarantee to our clients that their data is safe with us. In today’s world, data breaches and cyberattacks are growing threats, and having an ISO 27001 certification means we’re following global best practices to keep information secure.

For those working with OPT/NET, the certification provides:

• Peace of Mind: You can be sure that we know how to manage your data securely, with accessibility following the requirements of clients and legislation.

• Regulatory Compliance: Our certification helps you meet Regulatory compliance requirements specific to your industry.

• Proactive Risk Management: We don't just react to problems. We actively work to identify and mitigate potential risks before they become issues.

Security is an Ongoing Commitment

Achieving ISO 27001 is a milestone, but it's not the end of the road. We see it as a continuous journey. Maintaining this certification means constantly reviewing and improving our security practices. Regular audits, staff training, and adapting to new threats are all part of our ongoing commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

Security and innovation go hand in hand, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that OPT/NET remains a leader in both.
