Achieving certification under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a significant accomplishment for any organisation, and successfully passing a re-certification audit is a testament to the ongoing commitment we have at Zinc for maintaining a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS). 

We are proud of this achievement and remain dedicated to continuous improvement, ensuring that our ISMS evolves to meet the ever-changing security landscape. This certification not only validates our efforts but also reassures our clients and partners that their information is managed with the highest care and security.

What does this mean for you? 

It means you can trust that your data is in the hands of a company that prioritises security at every level, ensuring that your information remains safe, secure, and handled with the utmost integrity.

Our successful ISO 27001:2022 re-certification reflects our unwavering commitment to information security excellence. This achievement demonstrates our proactive approach to evolving security challenges and our dedication to safeguarding our clients’ data to the highest standards.

   Introduction of new controls for emerging threats, and emphasise clarity, flexibility, and leadership commitment in information security.
3. Scope statement validation:
   The audit confirmed that the scope of our ISMS, as stated on the Certificate of Registration, accurately represents the organisation’s certified activities.
