It’s very important to us that our clients always trust us to keep their work secure, whether we’re producing marketing flyers, or medical research binders. To ensure this always stays the case, we regularly review our Information Management Security System. Regular “housekeeping” is a very important step in staying secure in today’s digital world. During our recent review, we updated some of our policies. We reviewed our Data Protection policy, Back-Up Policy, Information Exchange and Device security.
But what does getting an ISO certificate mean and what does it have to do with staying secure?
