Yes! Late last week, we received ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certification from Gerben de Ruiter of certification body Kiwa! This gives us official confirmation that we have our information security in order and that it meets high standards. And as a customer, you have the guarantee that your organisation's data are in safe hands with us.
In recent months, we have been working hard to set up an information security policy and an information security management system. What that means? Identifying risks, developing security measures and drafting and implementing rules and procedures. Plus training our staff. Everyone now knows exactly what to do when handling confidential information, receiving visitors or discovering a data breach, for example.
Benefits for you as a customer
As a customer, you could of course already rely on our good information security. With ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certification, that has been taken to an even higher level. In addition:
- our certification helps your company in complying with any industry-specific regulations.
- you will benefit from better service as our business processes have become more efficient. For example, we have set up a dedicated management team for continuous monitoring of the IT environment and running patches.
- you can rest assured that we continuously improve ourselves in the field of information security, as required by the ISO standard.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security. The standard describes how to handle information security process-wise. The aim is to ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information within an organisation. This includes protecting personal and/or company data, protection against hackers and break-ins.
NEN 7510
Since we also operate in the care and welfare sector, we have also put a lot of energy into obtaining NEN 7510 certification. NEN 7510 is the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare. A specific standard especially for the care and welfare sector, because the care sector is really different from other sectors and Dutch care differs from that in other countries.
Remko Kleij: "All in all, it was a tough job that took a lot of time for all employees and the MT in particular. But by obtaining the ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications, we have taken a nice step towards the further professionalisation of our company, from which our customers and ourselves will greatly benefit. In view of our new security proposition and the ambition we have in this, it is good that we can now demonstrate that IT Local and all its processes meet the highest security standards."
