FocusPoint Secures ISO/IEC27001 Certification




Online Security FocusPoint is proud to announce its recent ISO/IEC27001 certification completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Many of our efforts in emergency response require handling sensitive customer information, including credit card data, medical histories, and intimate personal details that must be protected.

FocusPoint has long been ISO 9001 certified, but in order to achieve the ISO 27001 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission, an independent auditor had to analyzed the data security controls across all of FocusPoint’s platforms, infrastructure and subsidiaries.

Online Security Ongoing Commitment to Data Security Across All Verticals

After a substantial audit of FocusPoint’s internal practices of handling sensitive information that spanned several months, the certification stands as the ultimate seal of approval. This step highlights FocusPoint’s ongoing commitment to protecting the data of both our staff and the clients we serve. Ultimately, this certification is the gold standard for data security and a standard that many major corporations adhere to worldwide.

Prospective customers and business partners can rest easy knowing that FocusPoint adheres to some of the world's most stringent standards for data protection. FocusPoint, continuously conducts risk assessments across the organization, pinpointing weaknesses and areas of improvement in regard to data security. Certification requires the implementation of ongoing security controls and assessments to address risks, vulnerabilities, and threats to the sensitive data FocusPoint manages. These security controls ultimately protect the confidentiality and integrity of all the information collected by the company.
