ISB Achieves ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 Certification on First Attempt

ISB has successfully completed ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 certification on the first attempt. This success story showcases their approach to privacy, information security, and compliance, providing insights for organisations aiming for similar achievements.

ISB Achieves ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 Certification on First Attempt

We’re proud to share a major milestone for our international client ISB, who has successfully achieved ISO 27701 – Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) certification, aligned with their existing ISO 27001 – Information Security Management System (ISMS). Achieving certification on the first attempt is a testament to strong leadership, effective systems, and commitment to protecting sensitive data.

Supporting Organisations on the Path to Certification

A huge congratulations to the ISB team on this outstanding achievement! At Apliso-Plus, we are proud to have guided them throughout this journey, helping implement effective systems and prepare for the certification audit.

We would also like to thank Sancert Global for conducting the certification audit and ensuring that all requirements of these two critical standards were fully met. Their expertise was key in validating ISB’s compliance with ISO 27701 and ISO 27001.

The Importance of ISO Certifications for Privacy and Information Security

In today’s digital landscape, privacy and information security are no longer optional – they are critical to business success. Organisations handle sensitive personal information (PII) daily, and stakeholders expect it to be managed responsibly.

ISO certifications provide a globally recognised framework to ensure that privacy, data protection, and information security practices meet the highest standards. Achieving ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 demonstrates that an organisation has independently verified controls in place to manage and protect sensitive information while building trust with customers, partners, and regulators.
