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.

Considering the increasing demand for secure digital solutions, implementing ISO 27001 certification could be a game-changer for Beta Breakers. The certification encompasses a comprehensive set of best practices for information security management, providing a solid framework to safeguard our clients’ data and ensure their peace of mind. With ISO 27001, we can confidently reassure our prospects that we have undergone rigorous audits to meet industry standards, giving them the assurance they need to engage in business with us.

Obtaining ISO 27001 certification would enhance our credibility in the market and give us a significant competitive advantage. 

Many organizations now prioritize working with partners with robust security measures, and ISO 27001 is widely recognized and respected in the industry. This certification would streamline our security audit process with high-profile clients and open doors to new opportunities and partnerships.

Of course, pursuing ISO 27001 certification should not be taken lightly. We must carefully evaluate the cost implications and weigh them against the benefits they would bring. Implementation and maintenance costs, training requirements, and potential disruptions to our operations are all factors that need to be considered. 

However, investing in ISO 27001 can be seen as an investment in our future, as it would position us a bit better as a trusted and reliable provider in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
