To be a leading company—regardless of the industry—you need to put effort into many different areas. Not just those directly related to daily operations, sales, projects, or clients.
Staying up to date and training according to the highest standards is probably one of the commitments that requires the most effort, dedication, and resources. At Wembley, we know this well, because we have never stopped doing it since the very beginning of our journey.
This is especially important for companies in the technology sector for two reasons:
- The market moves at an extraordinary pace, with constant innovation.
- We often work with sensitive information, data, and strategically valuable assets for companies—arguably some of their most important assets.
ISO certifications in security and data privacy
Our team has recently obtained two certifications that guarantee we operate at the highest possible standards in this field: ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.
These standards relate to implementing information security management systems on one hand, and privacy information management systems on the other.
In doing so, we fulfill our responsibility not only to our clients, but also to ourselves and to the level of excellence we strive for. When it comes to data security, there is no room for compromise.
An ISMS is essential for your company’s information security
Having an Information Security Management System (ISMS) is something your organization cannot afford to overlook.
If you want to implement it according to the ISO standards we have achieved, you should consider:
- What information assets you are working with and who is responsible for them
- The vulnerabilities of those assets—analyzed individually—to identify potential points of attack
- The risks you face, considering the two previous aspects together
- The potential impact on the security or integrity of information, typically calculated with a simple formula:
Risk = Impact × Probability - Defining a policy to manage risks and a protocol to follow in the event of a data-related incident
- Reviewing the legal requirements your organization must comply with (clients, partners, suppliers, etc.)
Key practices to improve data privacy
It’s important to understand that no measure or protocol is completely invulnerable. That said, there are several practices that can help ensure your private data remains secure for as long as possible:
Only what’s necessary
You don’t need to handle large volumes of data if your processes can function with minimal information. Work only with what is strictly necessary.
Transparency
Inform all users—both internal and external—about what data is collected, why it is collected, and how it will be managed: how it is gathered, stored, and who is responsible for it.
Control
Sensitive information must be controlled by those responsible for its management, but also by the users directly linked to it. This includes the ability to access, modify, and delete data when needed.
At Wembley, we dedicate a significant amount of time—truly, a lot of it—to training, upskilling, and staying up to date with the latest information and tools.
The ISO certifications we have obtained allow us to face our challenges with greater confidence, while also strengthening our clients’ projects.
Because when it comes to this, we give it everything we’ve got.
We are committed to information security and privacy.
