HFX, a leading provider of Cloud Saas Workforce Management solutions, is proud to announce that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This certification marks a significant milestone in HFX’s ongoing commitment to protecting customer data and maintaining the highest levels of information security.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international gold standard for information security, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The standard sets out a rigorous framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. Achieving this certification demonstrates that HFX has implemented robust processes to manage sensitive data and mitigate the risk of security breaches.

A Comprehensive Process

The journey to ISO 27001 certification was comprehensive and required full organizational commitment. Over several months, HFX undertook an in-depth evaluation of its information security policies, procedures, and practices. Key activities included:

  • Risk Assessment and Mitigation – Identifying and addressing potential information security risks across all systems and operations.
  • Policy Development – Creating and refining policies to govern data handling, access controls, incident response, and employee responsibilities.
  • Security Controls Implementation – Deploying technical and organizational controls aligned with ISO 27001 requirements.
  • Training and Awareness – Conducting extensive training programs to ensure all staff understand and follow best practices in information security.
  • Independent Audit – Undergoing a thorough external audit by an accredited certification body, validating HFX’s compliance with ISO standards.

“This certification is a reflection of the dedication, expertise, and diligence of our entire team,” said Nicola Smart, COO at HFX. “Data security is not just an IT function—it’s a company-wide priority. ISO 27001 affirms that we have the right people, processes, and technology in place to safeguard our customers’ information.”

Why ISO 27001 Matters

In an era where data breaches and cyber threats are on the rise, ISO 27001 certification provides clients and stakeholders with the assurance that HFX is proactively managing and securing its information assets. The certification is trusted globally and is often a requirement in sectors that demand the highest standards of data protection, such as finance, healthcare, and government.

By achieving ISO 27001, HFX not only strengthens its operational resilience but also enhances its competitiveness and credibility in the marketplace.
