Monit Data is proud to have received the ISO 27001 certification. The internationally recognized ISO 27001 standard details how to manage information security. Building on the many security measures already implemented at Monit Data our certification was achieved with relative ease. With the certification you can trust that your business and personal data is safe with Monit Data.
We live in a time and world where information is essential. We trust that the information we use is always available, accurate and secure. And also if we allow others to process and use our own information that this is handled carefully and securely.
But threats to the security of information are always lurking. With information security we often think of the ubiquitous hacker breaking into IT systems. But often the danger can be in more seemingly harmless situations. How do we deal with a lost or found USB stick with information? Or that document that is forgotten on the printer? What do we do when a visitor just walks into our building?
At Monit Data information is an integral part of our DNA. Our mission is to give our customers and partners clear insights into their urban mobility challenges; both for cars, EV and bicycles. Our dashboards are used to create mobility policies, and for operational and financial management. Creating these insights requires that we convert raw data from our customers and partners into valuable information.
That you can trust Monit Data to handle your business and personal information with the utmost care is therefore a top priority. It is also a requirement many of our customers and partners present to us. That is why Monit Data has chosen to pursue the ISO 27001 certification.
About ISO 27001
Organizations that want to implement information security often focus specifically on IT aspects. But information security is much broader than that. For example paperwork and any other form in which knowledge is recorded within an organization. Or think of the security measures in physical locations. How are the entry policies enforced? But also consider HR and staffing aspects. How are the responsibilities for information security defined in the various roles?
The ISO 27001 standard indicates how an organization can handle information security in an integral and process-oriented way. The standard details requirements for establishing, implementing, managing and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The goal is to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information within an organization.
Monit Data ISO 27001 certification
An ISO 27001 certification is issued after an audit by an accredited external party. For this audit Monit Data has chosen Conformiso, a Dutch firm with over 30 years of experience in information security management systems and certifications. Together Conformiso and Monit Data developed a step-by-step plan to towards achieving the certification.
During our certification process it became clear that Monit Data had a very solid foundation with regards to information security. Many of the measures coming out of the ISO 27001 standard were already firmly established.
But naturally our certification process also brought forward some areas where we could improve. One of the main findings was to improve the documentation of the procedures used in the organization. By incorporating the findings from the audit into our processes security risks are minimized in an integral and structured manner. And it also ensures that our staff will act in a consistent and effective way if a security incident were to occur.
The ISO 27001 certification of Monit Data was achieved within short timelines due to the strong information security measures already in place, and also helped by the good team-work with Conformiso.
