We’re proud to share that Counselect has achieved ISO/ IEC 27001:2022 certification, a globally recognised standard for information security. With this milestone we renew our focus on creating secure, trustworthy, and efficient solutions for everyone we work with.

What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a highly respected international standard that determines whether an organisation has built an information security management system (ISMS) capable of protecting sensitive data. It ensures that organisations proactively identify and mitigate risks to sensitive data, inspiring confidence in all stakeholders.

What it involves

An ISMS is more than just the hardware and software you use to keep information safe. It’s an entire set of rules that govern how you use information.

1. Leadership and Governance: Establishing robust policies and oversight mechanisms.
2. Risk Management: Identifying and addressing potential security threats.
3. Controls and Processes: Implementing measures to protect information.
4. Continuous Improvement: Adapting to new risks and technologies.

The Process

To achieve certification, companies must complete an audit to verify that they comply with these rigorous standards.

Over several months, Counselect underwent detailed assessments of our practices, systems, and processes. These efforts focused on keeping sensitive data secure, accessible, and accurate.
