Optimal IdM, a leading provider of Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, today announced it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, the international standard outlining best practices for information security management systems. “These certifications validate our commitment to transparency and providing the highest standards of security to our customers,” said Ed Gorczyca, Chief Compliance Officer at Optimal IdM.
About ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certification
The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification provides requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. It preserves the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information by applying a risk management process and gives confidence to interested parties that risks are adequately managed.
“We strive to have a consistent and repeatable risk-based security program, something our SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications demonstrate,” said Ed Gorczyca, Chief Compliance Officer at Optimal IdM.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification confirms a management and security program is in place to address the risks associated with a cloud-based deployment. This provides another independent assurance to our customers that our operational approach and methods for The OptimalCloud™ provide a safe, secured, and controlled environment with routine monitoring and oversight. The result is a robust system that enhances our cloud product offerings.
