Secure Service Sees Origina Certified With ISO 27001 

Origina are proud to have received our updated ISO 27001 certificate to celebrate our continued strive towards data & information security in our service. 

At Origina, information security is one of the pillars we are built on and it is something that extends to every facet of the way that we do business. Security, and most importantly ensuring that our customers’ security is not compromised by Origina’s lack of security, is something that we take incredibly seriously. Security can mean many different things to many different businesses, but there is one universal truth to which they all subscribe- it matters.

One overriding concern to customers is ensuring that any and all suppliers have robust and secure systems. That is why we take such pride in receiving our ISO 27001 certificate.

What is ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is an information security standard that was originally published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005, with revisions to the standard occurring in 2013 and 2022. It outlines the steps a business can take in order to establish, maintain and continue to improve an information security management system (ISMS).

Essentially, it is a framework created by experts within the security space that outlines best practices for businesses in regard to their approach to security. As part of this security standard, businesses who have shown a commitment to best security practices are awarded with the ISO 27001 certification.

In order to be awarded the certification a business must go through a rigorous assessment, followed by a two-stage audit process, along with continuous monitoring to ensure recertification every three years. Following this thorough process, a business which is shown to demonstrate a continued commitment to protecting its systems and data by establishing, implementing, and maintaining strong information security practices is awarded with the certification. It is a badge of honor for any business who places huge value in security.

Why Does This Matter to You

It’s simple really, the ISO 27001 is much more than just a certification- it is a symbol of the credibility of Origina’s commitment to its own security above all else. Origina’s ISO 27001:2013 certification focussed on policies but with the new ISO27001:2022, we demonstrated to the auditors that our technical controls match our policies. This expansion aligns with the ISO 27001:2022 update, which introduced a modernized structure and 11 new technical controls designed to address today’s cybersecurity challenges, such as:

• Threat Intelligence: We proactively gather and use information about cyber threats to strengthen our own security
• Cloud Service Security: We ensure all data and operations in Origina’s cloud environments are protected and compliant
• ICT Readiness for Business Continuity: We prepare our IT systems to maintain business operations during potential disruptions
• Data Leakage Prevention: We monitor and control information flows to prevent unauthorized data disclosure within our IT systems

Essentially, we have been busy expanding and improving our security expertise over the last few years and it is your business that will reap the benefits of that work.

Our expanded scope means:

• Broader Coverage: Our ISMS now spans additional service areas, ensuring end-to-end protection across Origina’s entire IT systems All ISO27001:2022 clauses are in scope as per our Statement of Applicability. (SOA)
• Deeper Assurance: Every interaction—from our customer facing teams: (customer support, security services and customer account management) to our back-office services like Finance and Internal IT—are all governed by ISO 27001:2022 standards.
• Future-Ready Security: As we innovate and grow, our security framework scales with us—so you can trust that Origina’s IT systems remains protected.
