Albacore Systems is pleased to announce the successful attainment of ISO/IEC 27001 certification on 26 March 2026. This represents the culmination of more than a year’s work by the team and involved all aspects of the business, including sales, support, technical services, research and development, accounts and administration.
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognised gold standard framework for an Information Security Management System. It provides a risk-based approach to managing data risk and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. The standard supports the protection of company and client information through a combination of policies, technology and staff awareness.
Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification confirms that Albacore Systems meets a globally recognised benchmark for managing information securely. Certification requires extensive documentation, independent external auditing and demonstrable internal controls embedded across the organisation. It is not a one-off exercise but a commitment to continual improvement in how information security is managed and reviewed.
ISO/IEC 27001 certification provides assurance that Albacore Systems manages company and client information to a high, independently audited standard. For clients, this demonstrates that data protection, resilience and compliance are treated as core business priorities, particularly in the freight industry where compliance and data security are critical.
Information security is not solely an IT responsibility. The certification reflects how information is handled across the entire organisation, from commercial processes and customer support through to technical delivery and internal administration. This collective approach ensures that security is embedded into everyday operations rather than treated as a standalone function.
Cliff Atkinson, Director of Albacore Systems, said:
“Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification is a significant milestone for Albacore Systems and a real credit to the entire team. Information security underpins the trust our clients place in us, and this certification demonstrates that our systems, processes and culture align with internationally recognised best practice. It also reinforces our ongoing commitment to continually improving how we protect information for our clients and our business.”
