Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a significant undertaking. For us at TeamKinetic, it was a worthwhile investment that underscores our deep commitment to data security and governance.
This certification is not just a badge; it’s a testament to our ongoing efforts to protect our clients’ information and to set the highest standards for the volunteering and charity sectors we serve.
Why ISO 27001?
In an increasingly digital world, the security of sensitive data is paramount. We handle information for hundreds of organisations and hundreds of thousands of volunteers. Our clients trust us to manage this data responsibly and securely. Pursuing ISO 27001 was a natural step in solidifying that trust.
The certification, an internationally recognised standard, provides a robust framework for managing an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It required a comprehensive review of our policies, procedures, and controls to ensure we protect against a wide range of threats, including data breaches and cyberattacks.
The process of achieving certification was rigorous. It involved a thorough audit of our infrastructure, software, and operational processes. This wasn’t just about passing a test; it was about embedding a culture of security into everything we do. It ensures that data protection is at the forefront of our minds, from product development to daily operations.
Setting the Standard for the Sector
Our mission has always been to empower the volunteering sector through innovative technology. By achieving ISO 27001, we’re not only enhancing our own security but also aiming to elevate the entire sector. By demonstrating the highest level of governance and compliance, we can inspire others to prioritise data security.
Data is the lifeblood of modern organisations, and protecting it is a shared responsibility. We aim to lead by example, demonstrating that even in a resource-constrained environment, it is both possible and essential to invest in robust security measures. This investment demonstrates to our partners and clients that we are a reliable and trustworthy platform, dedicated to their success and security.
Our commitment doesn’t end with certification. The ISO 27001 framework emphasises the need for continuous improvement. We will regularly audit our systems and update our practices to address new threats and maintain the highest standards of data security. This is our promise to our clients and our contribution to building a more secure and resilient volunteering ecosystem.
