Why Certification Matters When Choosing a Technology Provider
Whether you’re a municipality, business, or nonprofit organization, your IT partner plays an important role in protecting sensitive information. That’s why it’s important to understand what credentials to look for in a trusted technology provider. One of the most respected certifications in information security is ISO/IEC 27001, an achievement that FSET Inc. is proud to have attained.
What Is ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for managing and protecting sensitive data systematically and continuously. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it requires organizations to identify risks, assess threats, and implement controls to mitigate them.
Achieving certification means a company has demonstrated it meets the highest standards in protecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
Why ISO 27001 Certification Matters
Verified Security Standards
The ISO 27001 certification involves regular audits and continuous improvement. This ensures your IT partner is consistently applying best practices in cybersecurity and data protection.
Risk Management You Can Trust
A certified IT partner has processes in place to identify and mitigate risks before they become incidents. Whether it’s protecting against ransomware, preventing data breaches, or securing remote work environments, ISO 27001 demonstrates a proactive approach.
Regulatory and Legal Compliance
ISO 27001 helps ensure compliance with privacy laws and industry regulations such as PIPEDA, HIPAA, or GDPR. By working with a certified provider, you reduce your own organization’s legal exposure.
Client and Stakeholder Confidence
Certification communicates credibility. It assures clients, partners, and stakeholders that your IT partner is serious about security and committed to protecting your data at all levels.
Business Continuity and Resilience
Part of the ISO framework includes planning for disruptions. Certified partners have documented recovery procedures and resilience strategies in place, critical during outages, cyberattacks, or natural disasters.
