Hornbill Technologies Ltd, a software vendor and Cloud service provider, officially became compliant with ISO27001 in November 2012 after using the IT Governance FastTrack™ ISO27001 Consultancy Service.
In a press release issued by Hornbill Technologies in November 2012, Gerry Sweeney, Founder and CEO, Hornbill Technologies said:
"First and foremost, we want to offer world class cloud services and security as our highest priority: this accreditation is a vital step toward that goal.
"Achieving this certification is just the baseline of our capability. We take security very seriously and we are now at the stage where information and security management practice is engrained in our DNA. With the confidence that comes from knowing our processes are accredited, we can ensure that our security and other practices remain current and strong in the ever evolving cloud and technology landscape."
Steve Watkins, Director of Training and Consultancy at IT Governance, said, “There is no doubt that the ISO27001 certification will give Hornbill Technologies a new business edge and increase stakeholder satisfaction. The IT Governance consultancy team can’t be more pleased with our client’s achievement.
“Our FastTrack™ ISO27001 Consultancy Service has delivered what it promised – ISO27001 certification readiness within just three months. It has proved to be just the right level of tailored support Hornbill Technologies needed to fulfil their certification agenda” added Watkins.
Hornbill Technologies built on its existing best practice approach but focused its attention on all aspects of security. Although Hornbill’s cloud services are delivered in three continents across the globe, the central operations and cloud services team are based at a single location. IT Governance delivered in-house staff training which formed a significant part of the process. Staff were introduced to information security best practice including data handling and encryption.
The IT Governance FastTrack™ ISO27001 Consultancy Service was the perfect choice for Hornbill Technologies cloud services team as it is specifically designed to prepare small organisations or divisions that have 19 employees or fewer, and which are based at a single location) for UKAS-accredited certification to ISO/IEC 27001:2005 in just three months. There is a one-off, fixed-price consultancy fee of £5,000, which covers everything bar travel and third party certification fees.
The FastTrack™ ISO27001 Consultancy Service delivers all the mandatory documentation, includes an all-staff information security awareness course, management review and the first internal ISMS audit. Working to a tried and tested timetable, using tried and tested tools, the IT Governance consultants ensure that clients are ready for accredited certification within a very short period.
