Modulo Attains ISO 27001 Recertification Due to Best Practices in Its Procedures

Repeating its accomplishment from 2006, Modulo, a market leader for Governance,

Risk and Compliance management (GRC), has just achieved ISO 27001

recertification. Three years ago, Modulo was the first company worldwide

in the information security industry to attain this international

certification, attesting that its procedures are safe according to the

best Information Security practices.

“Being recertified is an important achievement. Since the last

certification we further invested and developed differentiated methods

for managing risks tailored to the needs of all of our customers,” says

Alvaro Lima, Modulo’s Co-founder.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an Information Security Management System (ISMS)

standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) and The International Electrotechnical Commission

(IEC).

This international certification formally specifies a management system

that is intended to bring information security under explicit management

controls.

ISO/IEC 27001 requires that management:

  • Systematically examines the organization's information security risks,

    taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts;

  • Designs and implements a coherent and comprehensive suite of

    information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment

    (such as risk avoidance or risk transfer) to address those risks that

    it deems unacceptable; and

  • Adopts an overarching management process to ensure that the

    information security controls continue to meet the organization's

    information security needs on an ongoing basis.
