SQR has secured ISO/IEC 27001 certification, supporting its commitment to data security in the UK and the Isle of Man.

Following this announcement, the ISO 27001 certification will provide SQR with further focus on security, while also maintaining high safety standards and optimising customer experience. 

SQR obtains ISO/IEC 27001 certification

From its inception, the organisation has operated with an efficient Information Security Management System (ISMS), and this certification validates SRQ’s goal to provide secure solutions for its clients. 

More information on ISO 27001 certification

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for ISMS. It provides a globally acknowledged framework for managing and protecting sensitive data through a risk-based, systematic approach. Achieving this certification indicates that an independent, external auditor has verified SQR’s implementation of a robust ISMS that meets the standard’s stringent requirements, including a comprehensive assessment of security policies, processes, risk management procedures, and technical controls. 

Understanding the significance of ISO 27001 for SQR

ISO 27001 certification highlights that SQR:

  • Identifies and manages information security risks;

  • Conducts risk assessments and implements suitable controls;

  • Protects sensitive information and safeguards data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction;

  • Complies with regulations, aligning with legal and regulatory requirements related to data protection and privacy;

  • Builds trust with clients and partners and assures SQR’s commitment to information security;

  • Improves business processes and optimises efficiency and effectiveness in managing information.

Officials from SQR stated that the ISO 27001 certification highlights the firm’s commitment to prioritising data and system security. This certification also allows the organisation to explore new business opportunities and expand its reach, particularly in regulated sectors where this standard is frequently a prerequisite.  

This certification reinforces SQR’s goal to protect trust, identity, and data as it continues to grow, innovate, and support regulated industries.
