Sun Managed Operations Achieves ISO 27001 Certification Globally
In February, Sun announced that Sun’s Managed Operations site in the
Americas received the prestigious ISO 27001 certification. And now, both
Europe and Asia have received their certifications in the Lithgow,
Scotland and the Chennai, India offices. This now completes the
worldwide process and makes Sun globally compliant as a supplier of
secure business protections and standards. These key awards provide a
response to security concerns often expressed by Managed Operations
customer prospects, making Sun Managed Operations an even more
compelling Services solution
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized Informational Security
Management System (ISMS) standard for protecting an organization's
information--and that of its customers. ISO 27001:
* Is the only internationally accepted Security Standard
* Demonstrates and ensures security best practices, due diligence,
due care
* Provides a management approach to business protection including
risk, governance and compliance
About 4,000 organizations internationally are ISO 27001 certified. More
than half are located in Japan and a quarter in Europe. Only about 70
U.S. certifications have been awarded which is indicative of the
distinction of the ISO security certification. Among the esteemed
organizations which are ISO security certified across the globe are the
US Federal Reserve Bank, Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Royal Bank of
Scotland, and the United Nations.
