Dyball Associates Achieves ISO27001 Certification

What is ISO27001?

ISO 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security and helps organisation be more secure with their data handling and management.

The standard sets out specific requirements for an information security management system. It uses a best practice approach to manage information security, by addressing people and processes, as well as technology.

Why is it important?

Cybercrime is a major threat to organisations and the energy sector in particular is a tempting target for hackers and criminals due to the wealth of data energy suppliers handle on a daily basis.

The ISO27001 requirements also fulfil those of the GDPR and Data Protection Act and gives much more information assurance overall.

By implementing ISO27001, Dyball has demonstrated to the regulatory authorities that it takes the security of the information it holds seriously and having identified any risks, has done as much as is reasonably possible to address them.
