Rapp gains security accreditation

Rapp has been awarded ISO 27001 information security accreditation – the only international standard for information security management systems. The standard is also subject to an annual audit to ensure continued compliance. To demonstrate that client data is secure, the agency undertook the six-stage process, including a gap analysis of potential risks and vulnerabilities, followed by an audit of compliance and implementation.

John Markham, head of technology, at Rapp, said/ “We are very conscious of our responsibility as a data guardian for our clients, and mindful of the trust placed in us as such. This accreditation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to data security and offers peace of mind to both our clients and their customers as media and consumer scrutiny around data security continues to make headlines.”
