By Tracesmart, PRNETuesday, January 18, 2011
CARDIFF, Wales, January 19, 2011 - Tracesmart, a leader in the field of consumer intelligence, reinforced
its stringent data security management with the successful accreditation of
the globally recognised ISO 27001 Information Security certification. The
standard provides a model for establishing, operating, reviewing and
improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS, providing
Tracesmart with a trusted framework which ensures its data, as well as that
of its clients, is kept secure and confidential.
This accreditation strengthens Tracesmart's warranty and current product
offerings which include "Know your Customer" (
www.tracesmartcorporate.co.uk/know-your-customer/) identity
verification, existence checks, consumer data cleansing (
www.tracesmartcorporate.co.uk/data-cleansing/), people and pension
tracing. These services are utilised by a large and diverse range of
businesses, from SME to FTSE 100 companies, and are prominent within the
financial services, pensions and collections industries.
Tracesmart's technical director, Paul Weathersby, stated: "Data is our
business; we take security and confidentiality very seriously. Our clients
are also mindful of the importance of quality data management, which is why
ISO 27001 is very important to us. We are proud of all the hard work and
effort our employees demonstrated to ensure we successfully passed our audit
inspection. We can now offer our existing and potential clients a further
assurance in our management systems, while demonstrating that we're committed
to protecting data."
Having been officially accredited, Tracesmart is one of less than 500
companies in the UK to have achieved the high standards required for ISO
27001 certification. As well as demonstrating a commitment to the highest
level of data security, it will provide Tracesmart's clients with confidence
that the company will keep data security at the forefront of the business -
