UK & Ireland, 18th May 2022DigitalWell, a market leader in enterprise communications, today announced it has achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification. This milestone achievement demonstrates the company’s commitment to the highest levels of information security management, and to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer information.

Cyber attacks cost UK businesses £34billion, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, making this achievement a timely and critical development in DigitalWell’s journey. ISO 27001 is a globally recognised information security standard developed to provide organisations with a framework for establishing processes for implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It identifies a set of best practices and controls for a comprehensive ISMS, defining how an organisation should manage and treat information more securely, including appropriate security controls. The standard considers not only IT but encompasses the entire business operation, including its people, processes and technology, and assures the robustness and quality of Welltel’s risk management solution to information security.

With a rigorous due diligence process, DigitalWell procedures and methodologies were validated by the independent audit, BQAI. As part of the audit, Welltel had to meet strict assessment criteria and demonstrate it has a robust, systematic and sustainable approach to mitigating information security risks that affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company and customer data and guarantee stringent data governance.

Further to the recent achievement of ISO 27001, DigitalWell also holds the coveted VMware Cloud Verified Certification. Only 296 providers hold this prestigious accolade globally. These validated partners expertly deliver VMware cloud infrastructure as a service — so a client’s cloud strategy can be assured to be flexible and resilient. Welltel is also one of 33 providers globally that deliver both VMware Cloud Verified & VMware validated Disaster recovery solutions. It is only one of two companies certified to deliver in the UK and in Ireland.

DigitalWell are the only provider that can provide both services in Ireland.
