Antura has been awarded certification to the internationally recognized information security standard, ISO 27001, a result of the company’s conscious and concerted efforts in this area.
Information
is one of the most important assets of any organization. Information vanishing,
confidential data being stolen and important documents being damaged – all of
these can have serious consequences for any operation. It is therefore
extremely important that all systems containing valuable information are
protected using an Information Security Management System, or ISMS.
ISO 27001
is an internationally recognized standard for information security, and it
encompasses three aspects:
Confidentiality
Integrity
Availability
In October
2016, Antura was awarded certification to ISO 27001:2013.
–Our ISO
27001 certification confirms that information security is now a natural and
integral part of our daily processes, and that we run our operation in accordance
with the prevailing standard, says Patrik Strömbeck, CISO, Antura Group.
Intertek is
one of the world’s leading companies in the certification of products and
management systems. In 2016 Antura has undergone a comprehensive certification
process, during which Intertek has meticulously reviewed Antura’s information
security management system.
–Antura
has demonstrated a well-developed and well-implemented ISMS, and the company’s
ISO 27001 certification is the result of its conscious, successful efforts in
information security,
says Berndt Roslund, Lead Auditor at Intertek, about the system audit.
High
demands on information security
For 15
years, Antura has been successfully delivering the Antura Projects PPM tool – a
complete solution for project, portfolio and resource management. Customer
demands in information security have increased in recent years, and globally it
is now regarded as a matter of course for a supplier to meet high demands on
information security.
–Nowadays
our customers place serious demands on information security, both as regards
Antura and our products. For our larger customers who operate on major
international markets, it is absolutely crucial that we can prove we can meet
the requirements in this area, says Patrik Strömbeck.
Several
years ago, Antura made the strategic decision to develop and implement a
management system in accordance with the recognized system in place today, ISO
27001. On completing the system audit, Intertek confirmed that Antura’s
management system met the necessary criteria. Berndt Roslund sums up Antura’s
work on ISO 27001 certification as follows:
–One
success factor is that Antura’s management has acted in an exemplary manner,
with great commitment and visibility throughout the entire process. This has
assured the buy-in and distribution of Antura’s ISMS which I believe an
operation needs to achieve success in this area.
