Following an audit of its ICT security processes, Trident Social Investment Group has been successfully recommended for accreditation to the ISO 27001 Information Security standard. This accreditation gives a public and independent statement of the housing provider’s capabilities and confidence that it has addressed all security risks to its business.
The accreditation ensures that controls are in place to reduce the risk of security threats and to avoid any system weaknesses being exploited. It also reduces costs due to following a methodical risk assessment approach, ensuring that resources are applied to reduce overall risk.
Ed Reed, head of IT, Trident Social Investment Group, said, “This has given us a best practice management framework and guidance for implementing and maintaining security.”
