Lavastorm Analytics, a leading agile data management and analytics software company, today announced it has earned International Organization for Standardization certification (ISO 27001), the internationally recognized benchmark for information security management. Joining an elite group of big data analytics companies that have proactively achieved this prestigious information security management certification underpins Lavastorm’s commitment to data protection and providing its customers with the tools and the level of trust they need to be successful.
“Concerns about data security have dramatically changed the market into which software providers sell. Given the world in which we now find ourselves, data security has gone from a nice-to-have to a tablestake for all software vendors selling to large enterprises,” said Drew Rockwell, CEO of Lavastorm Analytics. “Achieving the ISO 27001 certification on a global basis means that we are addressing the concerns on the minds of our customers, freeing us up to talk about the really interesting things our products can do to make sense out of their data.”
According to the International Organization for Standardization, ISO/IEC 27001 is the organization’s best-known standard, providing requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The use of this standard assists organizations in managing the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to organizations by third parties. Gaining ISO 27001 certification is a demanding process which requires companies to demonstrate that they meet a number of criteria across key categories including risk management, compliance and security.
