These certifications complement the robustness of the mdgroup integrated Quality Management System for regulatory requirements around security, privacy and overall quality, as well as client expectations for quality, compliance and consistency,” commented Paula Harper-Munday, Director, Quality and Compliance at mdgroup.
What is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013?
ISO 9001:2015 Quality requires organisations to have a management system in place to ensure consistency and improvement of products and services that leads to high customer satisfaction. Certified organisations are committed to continuous improvement and are assessed annually to ensure progress is maintained and standards are upheld.
ISO 27001:2013 is the world’s highest accreditation for information protection and security and applies to organisations, such as mdgroup, whose business processes conform to strict international standards and compliance. It requires organisations to maintain and continually improve security management systems, adhering to strict safeguards and data security practices.
What is BS 10012:2017 Personal Information?
BS 10012:2017 is the management system standard for managing personal information, which was revised to address the requirements of GDPR. This standard shows a complete and consistent commitment to implementing necessary policies, procedures and controls to manage an individual’s personal data effectively and safely.
Achievement of ISO 9001:2015 Quality, ISO 27001:2013 Information Security and BS 10012:2017 Personal Information are evidence mdgroup UK’s management system has met rigorous standards in ensuring data security, confidentiality, quality assurance and a commitment to continued improvement.
