Daegis Reearns ISO 27001 Compliance Certification for Information Security

Daegis (NASDAQ:UNFY), a leading provider of eDiscovery software and services, today announced that its litigation support and eDiscovery services have been recertified for compliance with the International Standards Organization (ISO) 27001 standard for information security management. The process involved an audit of each of Daegis’ offices and its complete Information Security Management System (ISMS) by a team of external auditors. This certification, from the British Standards Institute (BSI), demonstrates to law firms, corporations and government entities that Daegis places paramount importance on keeping client information safe and secure.

ISO 27001 is the formal set of specifications against which organizations may seek independent certification of their Information Security Management System. The ISO 27001 certification extends well beyond basic IT security and applies to all aspects of the business. ISO 27001 specifies requirements for the establishment, implementation, monitoring, review, maintenance and improvement of an overall management and control framework for managing an organization’s information security risks. In order to obtain certification, companies must go through a rigorous set of internal and external audits to ensure their processes are in compliance with the standard.

“Daegis’ ISO 27001 certification applies across our entire suite of eDiscovery solutions and distinguishes us from other providers in the industry that have only part of their eDiscovery process certified or no certification at all,” said Doug Stewart, director of information technology, Daegis. “This means our clients can be assured that the proper safeguards are in place to protect client data throughout the eDiscovery process, from collection all the way through to production.”

Maintaining ISO 27001 certification is also consistent with Daegis’ EU and Swiss Safe Harbor certifications. Daegis’ consulting and collections departments work collaboratively with clients to manage international projects and cross-border data transfers in compliance with Safe Harbor protocols. Daegis’ consultants are experienced with the limitations imposed by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union’s Directive 95/46/EC on Data Protection and similar laws in other jurisdictions.

BSI is the National Standards Body of the UK and a leader in providing independent assessment and management systems certification for clients in over 140 countries worldwide. With a globally recognized reputation for independence, integrity and innovation in the production of standards that promote best practices, they develop and sell standards and standardization solutions to meet the needs of business and society.
