MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2010) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of integrated HR solutions and services, has achieved full compliance with ISO 27002 information security regulations according to auditors from SystemExperts Corporation, the premier provider of IT compliance and network security consulting services. It is the first time that SystemExperts has distinguished a company as "fully compliant" since its inception in 1994.
The ISO 27002 standard establishes guidelines and general principles for initiating, implementing, maintaining and improving information security management within an organization. SystemExperts conducted the ISO 27002 Compliance Update Assessment in March. Workscape's full compliance demonstrates the company's unflagging commitment to maintaining thorough system security standards to protect client data.
"After an extensive review, SystemExperts attests that Workscape has achieved full compliance with each of the 135 subsections of the ISO 27002 standard," stated Jonathan G. Gossels, president and CEO of SystemExperts. "This is the first instance of complete compliance SystemExperts has witnessed in the years it has been conducting such reviews."
The designation requires Workscape to make a long-term commitment to industry-leading strategies to protect client data with respect to its business, which is centered on employee benefits and performance-driven compensation, the critical elements of total rewards management.
"Meeting ISO 27002 standards is certainly attainable, but an organization must commit to going above and beyond to achieve full compliance as Workscape has done," said Bill Bergen, CIO and Chief of Operations. "Given the nature of our business, clients entrust us with critical and sensitive employee data and we pride ourselves on protecting that data with the most robust security controls available today."
This distinction stands as the latest example of Workscape's ongoing dedication to safeguarding client data. Additional examples include SAS 70 Level II certification, as well as achieving Cybertrust certification for eight consecutive years.
