According to the current Allianz Risk Barometer published by the insurance provider Allianz, cyber threats are the leading cause for concern among businesses across the globe in 2022. Accordingly, one of the main demands placed on IT service providers is to provide information security. In particular, this involves ensuring the confidentiality, accuracy and availability of information assets such as IT systems and the data stored in them. This is where an information security management system (ISMS) comes into play. These systems are used to define, direct, control, maintain and constantly improve information security. International standards, such as the well-known ISO/IEC 27001, provide widely accepted guidelines for the aspects mentioned above and allow for independent third-party monitoring. A relevant certificate is thus verified proof that the company adheres to the specified standards and can also prove this.
In addition to ISO 9001, adesso Schweiz AG has recently also been certified according to the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. The audit confirmed that the company’s security measures and ISMS completely fulfil the requirements of the ISO standard. ISO 20071 is the world’s leading and most relevant standard in the field of information security. For customers, this is a guarantee that adesso takes every aspect of information security into account professionally and comprehensively – from the initial quote and project development through to support, maintenance and client system operation.
This ISO/IEC 27001 certification perfectly complements adesso’s existing ISO 9001 quality management certification; because information security is not the only priority at adesso – quality is also a top priority. Five years ago, the company had its quality management system certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and has successfully renewed this seal of approval since then. This certification substantiates the management of a central repository that documents clearly defined, efficient and flexible processes: from acquiring new customers to caring for existing customers and from HR management and contract controlling through to project development, workflow transparency is at the heart of this certification.
