The ISO 27001 Certification, published by the International Organization for Standardization, is the leading international standard for measuring information security management systems (ISMS). By attaining the standard Forsythe Managed Services has proven to an independent third party that it has developed and implemented a best-in-class ISMS for itself and its customers.
"Significant security breaches in the headlines have made security top of mind for IT leaders today," said Dragana Vranic, Forsythe vice president, managed services, Canada. "Our clients are facing increased pressure to comply with increasingly difficult, 24/7 customer service demands. We want to assure them, as their partner for managed network and security services, that their data is being held in an environment with tightly regulated controls."
