ISO 27001 Certification: Gold Standard in Security

Zunia from Education Horizons, has been awarded ISO 27001 certification. ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems. Achieving ISO 27001 certification is no small feat. It involves extensive risk assessments and meticulous audits to demonstrate that a company is taking every necessary precaution to prevent security breaches.

Education Horizons chose the British Standards Institute (BSI) as their auditors because of their expertise in information security. This partnership with BSI extends beyond the initial certification because ISO27001 is not a one-time achievement, it requires ongoing efforts to maintain the highest security standards. Education Horizons has made substantial investments in this ongoing work, including having two certified ISO 27001 Lead Auditors on the team.

Benefit to Schools:

ISO 27001 certification guarantees enhanced data protection, regulatory compliance and risk management. By aligning with ISO 27001, Zunia ensures that every interaction with schools, product development and management adheres to the highest security standards.
