GEC NEWS WIREHelp AG has achieving the Information Security Management System ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification. This confirms that Help AG has implemented over 110 stringent security controls relating to Physical & Environmental Security, Technical Security, Personnel Security, Supplier Relations, Operations Security, Business Continuity, Incident Management, and Compliance.
The audit and certification was carried out by BSI Group following a stringent internal audit by Help AG’s own Strategic Security Consulting division. “We understand that there are some reservations that regional businesses have about trusting security controls to service providers. Our ISO27001 certification enables us to guarantee the right level of controls exists and is audited by an external agency at regular intervals,” said Stephan Berner, CEO at Help AG. “This together with initiatives such as delivering all services locally, offering an on-premise deployment option, fully recording all access, and strictly adhering to all local laws has helped us address customers’ concerns and challenges regarding management and access to sensitive data by our MSS team.”
Berner added, “Even large enterprises in the region lack the financial and human resources to have specialized teams of IT security experts. This leaves them with little time to continuously monitor their infrastructure for cyber threats and makes incident response a tremendous strain on already overworked employees. Our MSS is an affordable way for businesses to gain ready access to the very best security experts to significantly enhance their security posture.”
