Datum reaffirms its commitment to information security with accreditation to ISO 27001:2013

The transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 builds on Datum's existing ISO27001, 50001 and 9001 accreditation and PCI DSS compliance to continue to demonstrate Datum's ability to deliver a secure and energy efficient environment for its clients' critical IT infrastructures. The new, more stringent accreditation for information security, ISO 27001:2013, aligns with the principles of ISO 31000 risk management standard and is UKAS accredited. Transition to the new standard further supports the security standards required by Datum clients providing a process driven approach to information security - and including clear requirements to consider all interested parties and their requirements relevant to information security.

Commenting on gaining ISO 27001:2013 accreditation, Dominic Phillips, Managing Director, says: "For many Datum clients, the selection of our facility is strongly influenced by the levels of security we offer. Our successful transition to the new information security standard further supports that criterion with a focus on management of risks for both our own and clients' data. We are delighted to be able to offer clients ISO 27001:2013 to enable them to demonstrate to their board, their clients and other stakeholders that their critical IT infrastructure is co-located in an ultra-secure data centre."
