Ceta Insurance has attained ISO 27001 certification, the global standard for the establishment, maintenance and certification of an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), 27001 is a comprehensive security management standard and certified companies have demonstrated they can securely manage and protect information and sensitive data by implementing appropriate risk assessments, policies and controls.

To achieve the accreditation, Ceta’s ISMS underwent a rigorous independent audit which tested its management procedures, business continuity, threat mitigation, loss prevention and information security practices.

The announcement coincides with the launch of the new Ceta website, which provides improved functionality for brokers and networks and now includes a dedicated section for brokers including helpful content, competitions and information on the Ceta Rewards loyalty scheme.

James O’Hara, commercial director at Ceta, said: “ISO 27001 is an internationally renowned standard for cyber security, allowing businesses across the world to secure their information systems, take responsibility for keeping customer data safe and secure, and win the trust of their clients and partners. Brokers can be assured that we take our data security obligations seriously.

“At Ceta we are absolutely committed to achieving the highest levels of cyber security, and compliance with a world-class standard like ISO 27001 not only demonstrates that we are a secure, reliable organisation that can be trusted with customer data, but also, that our internal systems are flexible enough to grow alongside the business to ensure that the highest standards will continue to be met.”
