Aurora Managed Services is excited to announce a major milestone: we have successfully passed the ISO 27001 audit for 2024. This prestigious certification underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in information security and data protection. In addition to this standard, Aurora has also obtained the Cyber Essentials and CE+ standards, and on the 17th of July, the IASME accreditation was also awarded.

Understanding ISO 27001: 2022

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a structured approach to managing sensitive information, ensuring it remains secure through a comprehensive set of controls and risk management practices. For Aurora and our clients, this means a robust framework is in place to safeguard data against potential threats.

This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work of Peter Smith and our IT Team. We aimed to demonstrate to our customers that we operate with the highest level of security. This accreditation assures them that their data is handled securely and with the utmost care.”

Andy further highlighted, “The purpose of this accreditation is not just to fulfil a requirement but to support our growth objectives. It reflects the significant value our IT Team brings to the table in achieving our business goals and ensuring modern security standards.”
