2CL is proud to announce that it has achieved ISO 27001 certification, a globally recognised standard for information security management. This certification underscores our dedication to protecting not only our own data but also the sensitive information of our clients and suppliers.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard that sets out best practices for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides a structured framework for managing sensitive data, reducing risks, and ensuring compliance with security regulations. By achieving this certification, organisations demonstrate their ability to identify, assess, and mitigate security threats effectively.
Why ISO 27001 is important to us
As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity, organisations must take proactive measures to safeguard their information. For us, obtaining ISO 27001 was driven by two key factors:
Customer Requirements: Many of our customers require ISO 27001 certification as a prerequisite for continued business relationships. Ensuring compliance allows us to maintain and expand our partnerships with prestigious clients.
Commitment to Security: In an era where hackers, AI-driven threats, and cybercrime are daily concerns, we wanted to reinforce our commitment to robust information security. By achieving this certification, we demonstrate that our processes meet the highest industry standards, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
Garrick Gregory, CEO, commented:
“This an important achievement for us. Information security isn’t just a tick box exercise, it’s about protecting the trust our customers and partners place in us every day. As a trusted advisor in communication and security technology, our customers rely on us not just for cutting-edge solutions but also for the assurance that their sensitive information is handled with the highest level of security. Achieving ISO 27001 reinforces that trust, and passing without a single non-conformity is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished.”
Rapid Certification
Many organisations take at least six months to complete the ISO 27001 certification process, but 2CL achieved this milestone in record time. We passed our audit on 27 March, taking less than 100 days from start to finish – an impressive achievement for any company, and serves to highlight the commitment and preparedness of our team.
A Perfect Outcome
Our assessment was conducted by Citation, which also oversees our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, whose expertise ensured a smooth and rigorous evaluation process.
Not only did we achieve certification, we did so with an exceptional result. We passed without a single major or minor non-conformity. This is a very rare accomplishment, further validating the strength of our information security policies, procedures, and their implementation.
Looking Ahead
Achieving ISO 27001 is not just a one-time milestone; it reflects an ongoing commitment to maintaining and continuously improving our information security management system. As the digital landscape evolves, 2CL remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards, ensuring our customers, partners, and suppliers can trust us with their most critical information.
