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.
