We are very pleased to announce that Quintas Energy recently finalized the process of ISO 27001 certification – a clear display of confidence in the company’s information security protocols.
So what’s it all about? The international standard ISO/IEC 27001 concerns the management of information security and sets out a blueprint for creating, implementing and maintaining an information security management system (ISMS). This system’s overriding objective is to keep data assets secure against leakage or information theft and should be subject to constant review and improvement.
The certification is especially important because it demonstrates our dedication to safeguarding customer data, ensuring compliance with international standards, and fostering trust with our clients. This achievement highlights the excellent state of Quintas’ infosec, giving stakeholders the assurance that their sensitive information is protected to the highest standard.
To enable Quintas to pass the audit by OCA Global, our IT and Asset Management teams worked together, investing countless hours in refining our security measures, implementing advanced encryption technologies, conducting thorough risk assessments, and establishing a culture of continuous improvement. Their dedication ensured that every aspect of our ISMS was meticulously crafted to not only meet but exceed the stringent international requirements. To achieve this, we had to create and consolidate:
- A perimeter security system with a novel architecture to guarantee its impenetrability.
- A continuous and automated monitoring system for all our hardware and software systems to report any attempt at improper access.
- A cybersecurity risk monitoring and control model.
- Augmented training measures for all Quintas Energy staff to maintain the most effective first line of defence.
- Reinforced procedures for responding to cybersecurity events.
We are delighted to confirm that the hard work put in by our IT professionals paid off, with all objectives achieved. As a result, we passed the audit with flying colours on 19 August 2024.
We extend sincere gratitude to our talented team at Quintas Energy for their determined collaboration, which was vital to achieve this goal. Your efforts, in conjunction with those of the IT staff, have not only ensured this prestigious certification but have also strengthened the foundation of trust and confidence on which our customers rely. Thank you for your exemplary work.
