The ICEX GROUP Team Have Achieved ISO 27001 Re-Certification!
After lots of hard work by many in the team across the organisation, we’re pleased to say that we passed the ISO 27001 re-certification and made the transition to the new standard 27001:2023.
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard for managing information security. As security and sustainability are at the core of everything we do, it is extremely important to us that we keep to the highest of standards. These standards allow us to grow, validating what we are doing well and helping to recognise areas for future improvement.
The full title is “Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection” which reflects how they have altered the requirements, with more emphasis on security. So we’re thrilled to have passed.
The stringent process has given us a few minor areas to improve on - we're always grateful for this feedback as it makes us keep improving our processes for our clients.
A huge thank you to all involved!
We recognise the equal and high importance of security and sustainability. Ideally, we would care only about sustainability and data thieves and those who abuse sensitive information wouldn’t exist - but they do. This is why we are so happy to see innovative solutions being developed to make software for data erasure on hard drives as secure as shredding, rather than physically shredding. As these softwares allow for data erasure (rather than shredding), the device can be used again afterwards providing use to someone, avoiding landfill entirely and preventing the purchase of another device unnecessarily (which would eventually produce waste).
Our vision for ICEX GROUP is to be the most sustainable IT Asset Partner for organisations. We’re striving to make a better world. A world where no technology assets ever get wasted and everyone has access to affordable technology. A world where technology assets are reused as much as possible, and when new assets are needed, they’re always sustainable. Only when they’ve reached the end of their life, and as a last resort, do they get recycled. And absolutely nothing goes to landfill.
Both the security and sustainability our service provides allow our clients to have peace of mind about their data and the impact of their IT assets on the environment.
Once again, well done and thank you to everyone involved in helping ICEX achieve this latest standard!
