Citadel100, a member of the Keppel DC REIT and Ireland’s leading wholesale data centre operator announced it has been awarded ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Certification.
The ISO 27001:2013 certification was awarded to Citadel100 following a rigorous auditing process of their Citywest Data Centre in Dublin. The certification provides Citadel100 with ISO certification for the provision of Data Centre services to include Physical Security, Power and Environmental Controls to its clients.
ISO 27001:2013 is the strictest international standard available in information security management, enabling companies to certify the security practices they adopt within their organisation. This requires a systematic examination of an organisation’s information security risks, taking into account any threats or vulnerabilities. The certification of this standard demonstrates Citadel100’s comprehensive suite of security controls and how its management processes ensure these controls continue to meet its customers’ stringent security needs.
Building on its successful track record of ISO 9001 implementation which is certified and in place since 2007, Citadel100 forged ahead with implementation of the rigorous ISO 27001 processes and procedures in its Citywest data centre.
Karl Hennessy, CEO of Citadel100 said, “We are delighted to have achieved ISO 27001:2013 as it represents independent confirmation of Citadel100’s world-class data centre services credentials. We provide highly secure services to some of the world’s leading enterprises and we continue to work hard to ensure we not only meet the most stringent security requirements of our clients, but that we also foster a security culture within our organisation”.
Citadel100 are currently implementing both ISO 14001 OHAS and ISO 18001 EMS in their Citywest Data Centre and plan on proceeding to audit for both standards in Q1 2016
