ISO 27001 confirms the information security
The DQS has confirmed achelos the tested data protection standard according to ISO 27001 and the successful introduction, application and security of an information security management system (ISMS). For companies, ISO 27001 certification is the highest international standard for the certification of information security management systems. Currently, only 1,200 companies in Germany are ISO 27001 certified. It offers a systematically structured approach to protect the integrity of operational data and its confidentiality and requires not only a careful risk assessment throughout the company, but also a strict inspection of the ISMS by an independent testing agency. The DQS has assessed and checked the ISMS of achelos with regard to the processing of information according to given standards. The successful certification has already been achieved by achelos in the first audit.
