Datacentrix, a leading hybrid ICT systems integrator and managed services provider, has further reinforced its position as a trusted partner through the achievement of new ISO certifications, alongside the recertification of existing international standards. The organisation’s focus on risk management and continuous improvement translates directly into greater operational consistency and clearer accountability.

Datacentrix operates in accordance with globally recognised management standards, including ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. These certifications underpin the organisation’s commitment to providing a safe, responsible and high-quality working environment for its employees.

The company has also successfully recertified its comprehensive suite of information security and privacy standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27032 and ISO 27701. This achievement reinforces Datacentrix’s ongoing focus on safeguarding information, protecting customer data and maintaining robust governance frameworks as the organisation continues to grow.

The recent attainment of ISO 27035, the international standard for information security incident management, formally recognises Datacentrix’s integrated processes for identifying, responding to and managing information security incidents – a critical capability in an era of growing cyberthreats and escalating data protection requirements.

Says Ahmed Mahomed, Group Chief Executive Officer at Datacentrix: “In today’s digital environment, where data is one of the most valuable assets for any organisation, having a robust information protection system is essential. 

“Datacentrix has remained deliberate and forward-thinking in building an integrated system that supports our strategic goals. These certifications are demonstrable proof of our unwavering commitment to information security and give us a competitive advantage in terms of maintaining a strong security posture and building trust with our customers and vendors,” he states.

The ISO 27000 family of standards enables organisations to:

·      Ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets to avoid operational and reputational damage;

·      Comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including data protection legislation;

·      Increase customer and partner confidence through independent certification; and

·      Reduce risks associated with cyber incidents by minimising the likelihood and impact of attacks.

Mahomed adds: “As we navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape, the ISO 27000 series provides guidance for us to navigate this complexity. Embracing these standards shows our resilience and focus on safeguarding valuable information assets and reinforces why Datacentrix endures as the partner of choice for organisations seeking sustainable, secure and compliant ICT services.”

As a managed services provider, Datacentrix’s structured approach to service management and strong focus on quality delivery has resulted in recertification for a second year for ISO 20000-1, the international standard for IT service management.

“The goal has been to ensure alignment of IT services with business needs, ensuring effective service management,” he comments. “Furthermore, ISO 22301:2019, the standard for business continuity management, confirms that Datacentrix has developed robust systems and procedures to ensure service delivery remains uninterrupted in the face of potential disruptions. Our focus has been on ensuring business continuity with minimal interruption to our customers.”
