Our official ISO 27001 certification!

Blue Car Technologies are pleased to announce we are now UKAS accredited ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. 

As a leading software development company, we want to assure our customers and partners that data security is of paramount importance to the way we run our business. 

What is ISO/IEC 27001? 

According to the International Organisation for Standards (ISO), ISO/IEC 27001 ‘is the world's best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It defines requirements an ISMS must meet.’ 

ISO/IEC 27001 is often described as a ‘holistic approach’ to information security. This means the whole organisation is involved in ensuring the security requirements are fulfilled. The standard is all about preserving the three main aspects of information: 

Confidentiality: Only the right people can access the information held by the organization. 

Integrity: Data that the organization uses to pursue its business or keeps safe for others is reliably stored and not erased or damaged. 

Availability: The organization and its clients can access the information whenever it is necessary so that business purposes and customer expectations are satisfied.

Why is it important to us? 

Our certification process helped us identify strengths and areas of development, enhance any risk-mitigating measures, and consolidate our employees’ knowledge and awareness. The ISO requirements are fully embedded in our policies and processes, and each employee understands their individual responsibilities. It makes everyone in the organisation feel involved and accountable. 

How does that benefit our customer base? 

Achieving ISO27001 certifications means we can prove to our customers that we treat their data safely and securely, particularly with cyber threats constantly on the rise. We can reassure them they associate with an organisation that has clear information security strategies and objectives; strong security awareness and culture; treats any threats to security seriously and can respond promptly and efficiently. 

Next steps 

We will continue to manage our internal processes and security management solutions in compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards. This will underpin our commitment be a strategic, long-term partner for our clients to meet their ever-changing needs and challenges for information security.
