From 17 to 18 December 2024, the 5th surveillance audit took place on the premises of the SAMA PARTNER head office and with it the certification according to the latest certification standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
The specified objectives of the audit included a check of the conformity of the information security management system and assessing the ability of the management system to comply with legal, regulatory and contractual requirements. Furthermore, the assessment of the effectiveness of the management system with regard to the continuous fulfilment of the defined objectives and the identification of improvement potential for the management system were also examined.
In the final meeting, the auditors from TÜV Süd were able to certify that the entire SAMA PARTNERS team had implemented the ISMS professionally and emphasised in particular the collegial cooperation, which they had rarely seen during an audit.
An ISO/IEC 27001 certification helps companies to systematically protect confidential data and information, which reduces the risk of data loss or misuse. ISO/IEC 27001 certification also sends a strong signal that companies are serious about protecting their data. Furthermore, the standard also helps companies to fulfil legal requirements and industry-specific regulations relating to data protection and information security and enables companies to systematically identify, assess and manage risks.
