EQUITY announces ISO 27001 certification for Leading Boards, its paperless service for boards and committees.
Achieving this certification highlights the Group’s commitment to comply with the highest international standards in information security and with regulatory constraints regarding security in data storage and sharing.
“Security is a major concern for our customers,” said Nadim Baklouti, CTO at Groupe Equity. “Leading Boards is a SaaS mode solution. Our customers entrust us with their most sensitive data, such as their projects and strategic discussions. Information security is therefore central to the Groupe’s concerns and is a daily priority in all its business lines, projects, work methods and reference documents.”
“Security is a permanent process at Equity,” said Yves Garagnon, CEO. “Initiatives for raising awareness among our team, implementing procedures and securing our servers have been well underway for many years. We guarantee the protection of data that is not subject to the US Patriot Act. This certification is an important step for us, but it is just one part of our overall approach.”
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard in information security management systems. It guarantees a high level of protection for the information entrusted by customers. The standard is based on the identification, analysis and coverage of risks affecting the information system and is part of a continuous improvement principle. It allows for the creation of a climate of confidence between providers and their customers.
