Tratech Consulting has proudly announced its achievement of ISO 27001:2022 certification, awarded by Alcumus ISOQAR. This milestone underscores Tratech’s dedication to upholding the highest standards of information security and operational excellence.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a hallmark of excellence, demonstrating a company’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest information security standards. As an internationally recognised standard, ISO 27001 outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This ensures a systematic approach to managing sensitive information while minimising risks.
The certification process involves thoroughly assessing an organisation’s policies, procedures, and controls to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. By implementing robust security measures, certified organisations protect valuable data against cyber threats, breaches, and unauthorised access.
Matt Rose, CEO of Tratech Consulting, highlighted the significance of the certification to the business: “Information security is a priority for us and has been embedded into the foundations of our business. Achieving ISO 27001 pushes us to proactively think about how we operate daily, considering our security and that of our clients and suppliers. This effort demonstrates our commitment to building trust and delivering high assurance.”
ISO 27001 is a difficult standard to achieve and the certification process was an extensive journey for the Tratech team. It required more detailed thinking, reviews of procedures, policies, and documentation than previous ISO 9001 certifications. Matt acknowledged the challenges and teamwork that led to success: “The entire team’s hard work has paid off, and this certification proves that smaller businesses can match, if not exceed, the diligence of larger organisations when it comes to information security.”
To navigate the complexities of ISO 27001, Tratech collaborated with Smart Quality Services (SQS), a specialist ISO consultancy that provided expert guidance. “SQS was instrumental in helping us understand the intricacies of the standard,” explained Matt. “We were impressed by their professionalism. Richard Duff took the time to understand our business and helped us implement an information security management system which is bespoke to our company’s requirements and to help us get fully prepared for the external certification process.”
ISO 27001 enhances trust with customers, suppliers, and stakeholders by demonstrating a proactive approach to information security and providing a competitive edge. Organisations with this certification position themselves as industry leaders, showcasing their dedication to protecting information assets and fostering long-term business relationships built on reliability and security. Moreover, achieving this status can simplify tender processes, support regulatory compliance, and improve operational efficiency.
This certification enhances Tratech’s internal practices and bolsters its market position. “With ISO 27001, we’re proving to customers that we’re diligent and have robust processes in place. This gives us a competitive edge, showing that even as a smaller business, we deliver the same level of security and reliability as larger organisations.” said Matt.
The ISO 27001 certification solidifies Tratech’s reputation as a trusted business consultancy by aligning with its core philosophy: success through people, process and technology. Tratech believes people drive innovation and adaptability, processes provide the structure for efficiency and consistency, and technology is the enabler of transformation. This achievement reflects the company’s holistic approach, ensuring secure, efficient and cutting-edge solutions for clients.
By integrating these three pillars, Tratech enables organisations to navigate complex challenges, safeguard their information assets and drive sustainable growth in an ever-evolving business landscape.
