Version 1 achieved ISO 27001 certification following a rigorous audit of its Managed Services operations.
The certification covered all ICT services delivered through Version 1’s state-of-the-art Managed Services Centre in Dublin, supported by teams operating across Europe. The centre manages critical IT systems and infrastructure on behalf of a portfolio of local and international customers.
Recognising Excellence in Information Security
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and is widely regarded as the benchmark for information security governance and risk management.
Achieving certification requires organisations to undergo an extensive assessment process, including:
- Evaluation of information security risks
- Identification of vulnerabilities and threats
- Implementation of security controls
- Ongoing monitoring and governance processes
- Independent external auditing
The certification demonstrates that Version 1 has established a comprehensive framework for protecting customer information, business systems and sensitive data.
Demonstrating World-Class Managed Services
The achievement reflects Version 1’s commitment to maintaining industry-leading security standards across its managed services operations.
Certification confirms that Version 1 has implemented robust security controls and management practices designed to meet the stringent security requirements of its customers.
The accreditation also builds upon Version 1’s earlier achievement of ISO 20000, the international standard for IT Service Management, which the company attained in 2011.
Together, the certifications demonstrate Version 1’s commitment to both service quality and information security.
Justin Keatinge, CEO of Version 1, said:
“We are delighted to have achieved ISO 27001 as it represents external validation of the quality of our world-class managed services operations.
We have established ourselves as a market leader in outsourced support services and have successfully capitalised on the shift away from both traditional in-house and offshore delivery models.
Achieving ISO 27001, in addition to our ISO 20000 certification, provides another important differentiator for Version 1 by demonstrating the security, quality and repeatability of our managed service operations.”
Supporting Secure Managed Services
The certification reinforces Version 1’s ability to provide secure, enterprise-grade managed services for organisations operating business-critical systems and applications.
Key benefits for customers include:
- Enhanced information security controls
- Reduced operational risk
- Improved governance and compliance
- Independent validation of security practices
- Confidence in managed service delivery
- Structured and repeatable operational processes
The accreditation also demonstrates Version 1’s ongoing focus on maintaining the highest standards of security while supporting customers with mission-critical IT environments.
Building on a Strong Foundation
As organisations increasingly outsource the management of critical systems and infrastructure, information security has become a fundamental requirement for managed service providers.
The achievement of ISO 27001 strengthened Version 1’s position as a trusted partner for organisations seeking secure, reliable and compliant managed services, while complementing its existing quality and service management credentials.
