19 Jan Outsourcing, a measurable reliable partnership!
By obtaining Certification of the Information Security Management System, CRESCENDO guarantees customers, based on best practices and industry standards, quantifying and reducing information security risks to mutually accepted levels.
Bucharest, January 19, 2010 CRESCENDO, the IT & C solutions house, obtained at the end of December of the Information Security Management System certification in accordance with the requirements of the SR ISO / CEI 27001: 2006 standard. By implementing and maintaining this system, CRESCENDO’s clients and business partners have an additional warranty – provided by an independent third party – that the information they operate with is protected against loss, destruction, unauthorized access, and other specific risks.
Information is one of the main assets of any company. Exposing sensitive information to third parties and the threat that those data will not be properly protected are threats that are reported to be imminent and critical in outsourcing activity, specialty surveys cataloging total or partial outsourcing of the IT & C system as one of the main concerns of the clients.
In spite of these statistics, due to the drastic reduction of the IT budgets and the need for efficiency of the activity, outsourcing experienced a considerable trend in 2009, expected also in 2010. Under these circumstances, a decisive factor in choosing the solution and the partner outsourcing ensures that the information of the client company is safe. CRESCENDO supports its customers with a full range of outsourcing solutions. By adopting the Information Security Management System, CRESCENDO provides a unified approach where information, technologies and management practices are integrated, so that the risk of security incidents is measured, controlled and maintained at the pre-set minimum.
“The certifications and results obtained confirm the commitment of the CRESCENDO solution house towards the development and diversification of the outsourcing services portfolio. Defined with external consultants, the Information Security Management System was designed to ensure that security measures that protect information resources – adequate and proportionate to their risks and potential – are safeguarded,” said Marius Tulea, General Crescendo manager.
Certification has been granted by the Certification Body SIMTEX. “Following the certification audit, CRESCENDO has demonstrated that it ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and data managed in accordance with security policies and objectives. The Information Security Management System is effective, with technical and procedural measures implemented in all departments of the company. The audit consisted in verifying the implementation of all applicable requirements of the ISO / IEC 27001 standard and was carried out according to the international standards in the field and its own certification scheme developed by SIMTEX-OC”, adds Razvan Ionescu, Director of ISO / IEC 27001 Certification Department, SIMTEX OC.
Moreover, with the new certification, CRESCENDO now has an Integrated Management Certificate System, and the company obtained two important certifications in the last months of last year: Health and Occupational Safety Management System, according to SR OHSAS 18001: 2008 , respectively. Environmental Management System, according to the SR EN ISO 14001: 2005 standard.
Practically, the certifications are a recognition that the organization is concerned that the members of the CRESCENDO team will operate in a friendly environment with minimal risks to their health and that the developed and implemented projects are carried out with care towards the environment, a way to ensure business continuity and minimize risks. All this contributes to the systematic observation and overcoming of the quality level expected by the clients.
Marius Tulea adds: “The integrated management system gives us a more complete picture, covering and helps us better get the pulse of the customer relationship. At the same time, we manage to maintain the balance of relations with the main stakeholders of the company: team members, clients, partners and, last but not least, the environment and the society we live in.”
