Jenny Kilburn, Managing Director of Synergos Consultancy says:

“When your business holds ISO 27001 certification, you automatically demonstrate to your stakeholders that you are serious about protecting data and your physical environment through the implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) which enables organisations of any kind to manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties.”

Nigel Garner, chief technology officer at Answer, said: “Answer works with large organisations that range from financial institutions to the NHS, and information security is paramount for our business. So, we worked in partnership with Synergos Consultancy to review our existing capabilities and support our ongoing development.

“Achieving ISO 27001 certification is recognition of the hard work our team do to ensure the highest standards, and it was invaluable to work with the compliance experts at Synergos who deliver an efficient process.”

As well as their successful certification, they look to further grow the business, alongside looking to recruit 100 new staff in their two-year expansion strategy.
