Quest International Elevates Data Security Standards: Upgrading ISO 27001 Certification to 2022

Introduction:

For every company, data security is paramount. In fact, Gartner predicts that spending on security and risk management will grow to $215 billion in 2024. Quest International takes our responsibility and commitment to safeguarding the sensitive information of our clients and partners very seriously. To that end, Quest has completed an endeavor to upgrade to our ISO 27001 certification. This month, Quest has transitioned from ISO 27001:2013 to the more advanced ISO 27001:2022 standard, reinforcing our position as a leader in secure and reliable data management.

Why ISO 27001 Matters:

ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). This certification is a gold standard for organizations serious about protecting their own and their clients' sensitive information. By upgrading to the latest version, Quest is staying ahead of the curve in addressing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats.

Staying Ahead of Emerging Threats:

The decision to upgrade from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 is a proactive response to the ever-changing nature of cyber threats. The 2022 version of the standard incorporates updates that reflect the latest developments in information security management, ensuring that Quest's protocols are not just current but also aligned with the most advanced industry practices. This gives our partners peace of mind that their data is safe with Quest.

Key Features of ISO 27001:2022:

The upgraded ISO 27001:2022 introduces several enhancements over its predecessor. Some notable features include:

Improved Risk Management: The updated standard emphasizes a more risk-centric approach, allowing Quest to better identify, assess, and manage risks to information security.
Alignment with Modern Technologies: ISO 27001:2022 aligns with contemporary technologies and addresses new challenges arising from the increased use of cloud services, mobile devices, and interconnected systems.
Enhanced Focus on Leadership: The new version places a heightened emphasis on the role of leadership in establishing and maintaining an effective ISMS, ensuring that information security is ingrained in the organizational culture.
Adaptability to Changing Regulatory Landscape: As regulations surrounding data protection continue to evolve, ISO 27001:2022 is designed to be adaptable, helping Quest stay compliant with emerging legal requirements.

Benefits to Clients and Stakeholders:

This upgrade is not just an achievement for Quest, it is also a significant advantage for our clients and partners. The transition to ISO 27001:2022 underscores our commitment to providing the highest level of data security so clients can trust that their sensitive information is handled with the utmost care and following the latest global standards.

Continuous Improvement as a Core Value:

Quest’s decision to upgrade its ISO 27001 certification reflects its commitment to continuous improvement. By staying at the forefront of information security standards, it is our goal to ensure that we remain a trusted partner for clients seeking secure, reliable, and compliant data management solutions. Process improvement is a core tenant of ISO certifications, so Quest will continually seek refinement of our policies for the sake of our partners.

Conclusion:

Quest's move to upgrade its ISO 27001 certification from 2013 to 2022 is a proactive step that reinforces our commitment to data security excellence. As technology advances and cyber threats become more sophisticated, this upgrade positions Quest as a leader in the industry, ready to navigate the evolving landscape of information security.
