IPC is one of only a few companies in the Philippines to be certified for both ISO 27001:2005 ISMS and ISO 9001:2008 QMS. Both certifications were issued by TUV Rheinland, a member of Germany-based TÜV Rheinland Group.
IPC president Reynaldo Huergas said, “Our QMS and ISMS ISO certification means our clients can continue to rely on our highly professional staff and state-of-the-art facilities for overall service excellence. Our customers and partners can rest assured that we are at par with the latest existing international standards in the market today.”
ISO 27001:2005 (ISMS) is the international standard for examining a company’s information security risks; designing and implementing a comprehensive suite of information security controls; and adopting an overall management process to meet the organization’s information security needs. An ISMS certified company ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by identifying and managing information security risks and ensuring business continuity.
“Our certification for ISO 27001 strengthens our position as a leading Cloud Services Provider as it reassures clients of the integrity of our facilities, people and processes,” said Huergas.
ISO 9001:2008 (QMS) is one of the most widely sought-after certifications, being the global standard by which the quality of an organization’s internal processes is measured. It gives the seal of good housekeeping, attesting to IP-Converge Data Services’ commitment to maintain customer satisfaction by consistently providing value-driven solutions and services, and ensuring this value through continuous improvement and innovation, and by emphasizing quality in daily operations.
