Banking Network of Suriname (BNETS) recently achieved certification to both ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 through a completely online, remote consultancy ‘FastTrack’ solution offered by IT Governance.
BNETS IT Manager, Gregory Tai-Apin says, “
Achieving certification to both standards has made our organisation more secure and raised our confidence when dealing with our clients and their data. Overall, we have matured as an organisation in servicing the needs of our stakeholders. We are the first company in Suriname to be certified to ISO 27001 and we have urged our banking partners to achieve certification as well.”
BNETS opted for
ISO 27001 Online FastTrack™, a cost-effective, remote consultancy solution pioneered by IT Governance to help small businesses implement an information security management system compliant with ISO 27001, effectively getting the organisation certification-ready within three months.
BNETS also decided to achieve certification to ISO 22301, the business continuity management standard, while they were preparing for ISO 27001 certification. The online
FastTrack option for ISO 22301 was again their preferred solution.
The structure and format of ISO 22301 complements that of the latest version of ISO 27001, which meant that implementing both standards at the same time would be faster, more efficient and less costly.
Alan Calder, executive chairman and CEO of IT Governance says “
We are delighted by BNETS’s achievement of this significant milestone. Having delivered the entire implementation project remotely using our Online FastTrack™ services, we have once again proved to organisations looking for cost-effective implementation solutions that online consultancy is the way of the future. Excessive consultancy expenses need not be the consideration preventing companies from achieving certification to these essential standards. With remote consultancy, clients are guided every step of the way, assured by our consultants’ guidance and expertise.”
To date, IT Governance has assisted hundreds of clients globally to successfully achieve certification to ISO 27001 and ISO 22301.
