In July, Inspecta Sertification, Finland-based international certification company, confirmed the validity of the information security standard ISO 27001 certificate for Baltic Data Center, a leader in the management of data centers and information systems in the Baltic States.

Baltic Data Center is the first IT services management company in the Baltic States to receive this certificate and the only company in Lithuania to have the validity of the certificate confirmed for four years in a row by now.

According to Saulius Markūnas, Director of Baltic Data Center, the ISO 27001 standard demonstrates the best practices in information security management. "When preparing for this certification, we found and removed potential threats to information security, and the extended validity of the international certificate proves that the company can be trusted by customers and partners in Lithuania and foreign countries", - S. Markūnas said.

During the audit of the company, 11 different fields related to effective operation and information security were inspected: security policies, human resources, physical and environmental protection, purchases, design and maintenance of information systems, access management, management of commercial activity continuity, legal compliance and others. According to the experts who audited the company, Baltic Data Center attaches a particularly high priority to information security.
