[CHARLOTTE, NC] October 18, 2023 — Force Management, a provider of elite sales solutions, announced today that it has been awarded ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001) and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 (ISO 27701) certification. The scope of the management system certification extends to the delivery of Force Management consulting services, and its proprietary digital engagement applications.
Obtaining ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification requires conformance to the prescriptive management system requirements including comprehensive policies, procedures, and controls that manage and protect sensitive information. This designation represents the high-water mark for adherence to international standards and applicable laws on data privacy, risk management, and cybersecurity.
"Customer confidence is a priority for us, and that includes the integrity of security practices throughout the Force Management digital ecosystem," said Force Management CEO Grant Wilson. "Our ISO certification affirms the careful approach we've taken to protect and secure client data for all companies who partner with Force Management."
ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Certification indicates that an organization takes a comprehensive approach to manage data security and implements best practices and principles with an emphasis on continual improvement. ISO 27701 is an extension to ISO 27001 that applies to Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS). Certification under ISO 27701 indicates an organization’s adherence to relevant global data privacy requirements and its commitment to protecting personally identifiable information. The assessment of Force Management was completed by Schellman, an independent third party, which confirmed that its management systems meet the stringent requirements of both standards.
