Helios Achieves Prestigious Security Certifications
Benchmarks Reinforce Commitment to Data Security as Helios Serves Organizations Across Diverse Industries
Helios, a pioneering workforce management provider, has attained the esteemed ISO 27001:2022 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS). This certification showcases Helios' unwavering dedication to maintaining exceptional information security standards for its clients and stakeholders across the globe.
The ISO 27001:2022 certification is an internationally recognized achievement published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This prestigious standard sets forth requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and enhancing an organization’s ISMS. It highlights the significance of best practices, emphasizing the critical nature of measuring and evaluating an organization's ISMS to uphold the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.
“With technology rapidly advancing and transforming the digital environment, data security and regulatory compliance are central to Helios’ mission. Adhering to this international standard before our launch reflects our proactive approach to information security, assuring clients and stakeholders of the stringent security measures we implement,” said Rick Hammell, the Founder and CEO of Helios. “As we continue to expand, we remain committed to prevailing standards and consistently enhancing our ISMS to adapt to the evolving security landscape.”
The process of obtaining ISO 27701:2022 certification included a meticulous assessment of Helios' privacy management practices, which encompassed effective risk management, thorough data processing activities, and stringent regulatory compliance measures. The audits were conducted by AssuranceLab, a recognized and independent certification body. This certification not only strengthens Helios' internal operations but also provides clients with the peace of mind that their data is managed meticulously and complies with international privacy standards.
In addition to the ISO 27001:2022 certification, Helios has also successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance. This further bolsters the organization’s commitment to data protection, risk management, and information security as Helios prepares for its launch. SOC 2 Type 1 compliance verifies that effective controls are in place to safeguard systems and data, thereby ensuring operational excellence and compliance with industry best practices.
“Helios is deeply committed to securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our operations and those of our clients,” stated Christabel Ebrill, Head of Risk & Compliance at Helios. “Obtaining the ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 1 certifications reflects our steadfast commitment to these principles and our dedication to continuous improvements in our processes.”
Following its launch, Helios plans to pursue SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which will provide ongoing validation of its security and operational controls for an extended duration. This ensures the company’s commitment to data protection and regulatory compliance remains robust. By achieving both ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 certifications, Helios enhances its credibility internally and externally, fostering long-term trust and providing a competitive advantage through superior reliability and security practices.
