We are thrilled to announce that one of our valued mining clients, Sibanye-Stillwater Corporate and its South African operations, has been certified on ISO 27001 by DQS. This achievement demonstrates Sibanye Stillwater's commitment to information security management and protecting its stakeholders' data.
ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for implementing a holistic management system for information security. It focuses on the identification, assessment, and management of risks to information handling processes. The security of confidential information is emphasized as a significant strategic element.
Information surrounds us everywhere and is part of every process. Sometimes it may be inconsequential, but all too often it is critical and confidential. In order to make this important distinction for your organization, it is necessary to classify information. This is because the protective measures of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) according to ISO 27001 are based on this classification.
Improve your ISMS knowledge and gain recognition through DQS Academy
We offer a range of ISO 27001 training courses designed to help you achieve one of the most widely recognised Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) worldwide – helping you to manage information risks and providing the required governance within your organisation.
In the case of Sibanye-Stillwater, our team conducted a comprehensive assessment of their information security management system, evaluating their policies, procedures, and controls against the ISO 27001 standard. We are pleased to report that Sibanye-Stillwater demonstrated a strong commitment to information security management and met all the requirements of the standard.
This certification is a significant milestone and validates our dedication to maintaining the highest level of governance and security practices and our commitment to meeting the needs of all our stakeholders. As we continue to grow as an organization, we remain steadfast in our commitment to uphold the highest standards of information security.
