The rigorous qualifications and intensive processes undertaken to achieve ISO 27001 + ISO 27701 accreditation prove that data security and privacy are paramount to Ovation Global DMC and reinforce the group’s commitment to customers and data subjects.
ISO 27001 is an international standard that defines the requirements of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This system is a set of policies that manage potential information risks, such as data theft or cyber-attacks. The scope of the ISO 27001 certification covers the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) that the organization processes for itself, its customers and group entities.
ISO 27701 is a framework for data privacy that builds on ISO 27001. This privacy best practice guides organisations on policies and procedures that should be in place to comply with GDPR and other data protection/privacy regulations and laws, namely the delivery of the information technology transverse solutions and services (information technology and infrastructure, information security & management, network & connectivity, business solutions support, end-user support, performance) to its customers and group entities.
Rutger Hoorn, VP of Global Sales & Strategic Partnerships says: “We aim to be trustworthy partners for our clients and strategic partners. Protecting information, personal data, and ideas, whether our own or others, is crucial in the digital evolution all companies face nowadays. The ISO 27001 + 27701 certifications guarantee the best security and data privacy practices for our customers.”
Edouard Duverger, the group’s Chief Information Officer, highlights: “Structured approach to information security management can help our company reduce the likelihood of cybersecurity and data privacy incidents, optimise our information security controls, effectively respond to an evolving threat landscape. As a people business, we always put data security first as no digital or hybrid project is possible without data protection. I am very proud of this achievement, and I would really thank everyone involved in it”.
