IT Security Certification

Over the last several years, we’ve had a number of high-profile clients who required a security audit of Beta Breakers’ physical and digital security before they would engage in business with us.  Each time, we were able to satisfy their security requirements, but not without a certain amount of pain and effort.    Wouldn’t it be nice if we could simply tell these prospects that we have such and such certification, and just like that we’d be cleared to proceed?  I looked around a bit, and it looks like ISO 27001 just might be that ticket.  It deals with information security management and coincides pretty well with our prospects’ requirements.  I still need to evaluate the benefit versus cost –at this point I have no idea what the cost would be – but I will be looking into it and I’ll update this blog with my progress.
