Solitaire Consulting’s partner, MBS has received the ISO 27001 accreditation for information security.  ISO 27001 is the international standard that lays out the specifications for implementing an information security management system (ISMS).  It is relevant for all businesses and addresses the security of information held by an organization in whatever form it is held.  It has rapidly grown in importance for businesses looking to protect the information they hold.

Rupert Leaton, Managing Director said: 

“We are delighted to achieve this accreditation.  MBS provides technology solutions to over 300 clients operating in 47 countries.  They expect us to treat their information carefully.  In recent years more and more existing and potential clients have asked whether we are accredited to the ISO 27001 standard.  We therefore took the decision to invest in securing this internationally-recognised accreditation.”

Dave Quaggin, Service Manager said:  

“Achieving ISO 27001 certification has been a significant undertaking for MBS.  Over the last 18 months we have assessed and updated controls, systems and processes throughout the business.  We were then put through a rigorous independent assessment to ensure we met the required standards.  The certification is a demonstration of our commitment to the highest standards of information security and reassures our existing and potential clients and partners that we take data protection extremely seriously.”
