As demand for ISO27001 grows, IT Governance launches new add-on service for ISO9001 certifications

ELY , UK, November 24, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global ISO27001 and information security specialist IT Governance has launched a new ISO27001 Add-on for ISO9001 consultancy service that aims to help organisations of all sizes improve their information security posture and arm themselves against the next generation of cyber attacks.

A more stringent regulatory environment combined with increasingly complex cyber criminal activity mean that data breaches have become inevitable events, affecting companies of all sizes.

ISO9001 is recognised as the universal mark of quality. More than one million accredited ISO9001 certificates have been issued to organisations worldwide, and IT Governance believes that ISO27001 is both a sensible and crucial add-on that will enable businesses to thrive and remain competitive in the future.

Aimed at organisations with a valid ISO9001 quality management certificate, the consultancy service will extend their management systems to include a much-needed information security management element in line with ISO27001.

Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, says, “Implementing a comprehensive quality management system provides a very good foundation for information security. If you are already certified to ISO9001, then achieving certification to ISO27001 is a logical, easy and straightforward step up, enabling you to tighten your defences against the ongoing threat of information security risks.”

Implementing ISO27001 enables an organisation to be audited against both ISO9001 and ISO27001 at the same time, which means that the organisation could save time and money during the audit process.

Calder continues, “Following our proven ISO27001 FastTrack™ approach, companies with a valid ISO9001 certification will benefit from the expertise of IT Governance when integrating their ISO9001 management system with ISO27001. Our consultancy team are able to implement a robust information security management system and get the business certification-ready in as little as three months.”

The service is aimed at companies that hold a valid ISO9001 certificate, and is available to organisations all over the world.
