Suzy is ISO Certified — Here’s What That Means for You
• • • • • •
Now more than ever, information security is a critical part of business. Whether you work with client and consumer data like we do at Suzy, or you’re just gathering customers’ names and addresses to ship products, you need to be sure that the private information that you’re collecting remains private.
To that end, Suzy is proud to announce that we have officially achieved our ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, meaning that our Information Security Management System (ISMS) complies with rigorous standards for information security management that are recognized worldwide.
More importantly, Suzy’s clients can rest assured that their information is being protected to the highest standards of security and compliance across all areas of our organization.
“Information security is a core value at Suzy that spans all parts of our organization,” said Warren Ashley, Suzy’s VP Operations & Information Systems Security Officer. “Achieving ISO 27001 certification is an incredibly important milestone, further validating our commitment to implement, maintain, and continually improve our information security systems.”
So why is this such a big deal? Let’s dig a little deeper.
How ISO 27001 works
Widely regarded as the global standard in information security, ISO 27001 is an international standard that covers where we store data, how we treat it, and the policies and processes we have in place to keep it protected.
To achieve this milestone, we worked with an independent and accredited third-party auditor, to confirm and certify that our data security practices meet the ISO Standard, including:
a comprehensive risk management program;
robust technical, process, and policy-level controls for information security; and
effective business continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response systems.
Going forward, Suzy will complete annual security audits that will ensure that our information security programs continue to improve every year to remain consistent and conform to industry standards.
Why this matters
With our ISO-certified ISMS firmly in place, Suzy continues to prioritize the information security and privacy of our customers, our consumer panel, and our company as a whole.
“We have built a lot of features over the past couple of years for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing critical data for our clients,” said Suzy’s Chief Product Officer, Nick Gauchat. “This certification is another step toward making sure that we have the necessary controls and standards in place to protect that data.”
