Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), a West Chicago, Illinois-based provider of electronics recycling and information technology asset disposition (ITAD) services, has earned ISO 27001:2013 certification at its Noida, India, facility. SRS holds ISO 27001 certifications at its plants in the Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.
This information security management standard reassures SRS clients that their IT and electronic assets are always managed securely, the company says.
The ISO 27001 standard recommends a suite of requirements for organizations to maintain control of information security, SRS says. The system includes an approach to managing data, ensuring that processes meet data security requirements.
The company says its operational approach prioritizes security and uses the global standard to ensure all facilities adhere to the same security protocols consistently.
"We continue to roll out ISO 27001 certification throughout our global operations because it has a robust framework to monitor, track and measure our information security as it relates to protection of SRS company data, as well as our clients," says Sean Magann, global vice president of SRS. "Every time we go through the process of reviewing our own internal security controls in a new region, we are able to build on our existing systems and continually improve."
SRS notes that its certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, R2 (Responsible Recycling) and NAID (National Association for Information Destruction).
