Merytronic obtains ISO27001 certification

1.ISO 27001 Certification: An Essential Achievement for Security and Business Competitiveness

In an increasingly digitalised world, information security has become a top priority for organisations. In this context a company that succeeds in obtaining ISO 27001 certification reaches a significant milestone, this certification not only reinforces the confidence of its customers and business partners, but also highlights its commitment to information protection and the continuous improvement of its internal processes. We at Merytronic are very pleased to announce that we have achieved ISO27001 certification.

2. Implementing ISO 27001: A Rigorous and Meticulous Process

During the last few months we have been working on the implementation of this standard. It has not been an easy task, due to its characteristics it has required the work and coordination of the different departments of the organisation; management, ICT, processes, standardisation…, it has been a multidisciplinary project. We have also had the help of an external company that has guided us throughout the process.

An exhaustive risk analysis was carried out, identifying and evaluating all potential threats that could compromise information security. This ranged from technological risks, such as cyber attacks, to operational risks, such as human error or process failures.

Following completion of the risk analysis, an Information Security Management System has been developed, including policies, procedures and controls designed to mitigate the identified risks. Every aspect of the it has been documented and aligned with the requirements of the standard.

The next key step has been the training and awareness-raising of the organisation’s staff. Under the premise that information security is everyone’s responsibility within the organisation, a global training and awareness plan has been designed, informing all staff of the company’s security policies, the procedures to be carried out and relevant information on information security. This is an ongoing process, to be developed and maintained over time..

3. Organisational and Market Relevance

Achieving ISO 27001 certification has a significant impact within the organisation. Firstly, it establishes a robust security culture, where the protection of information becomes a strategic priority. This not only helps prevent security incidents, but also promotes a continuous improvement mindset at all levels of the company. And it provides a clear structure for managing information security, which improves operational efficiency. With well-defined processes and appropriate controls in place, the company can respond more effectively to threats and minimise risks.

From a business perspective, this certification is a key differentiator in the market. More and more customers are demanding that the companies they work with have internationally recognised security certifications that guarantee the organisation’s ability to protect sensitive data.
