As the internationally recognized standard for managing information security in an organization, ISO 27001 Certification requires rigorous repeated external assessment and demands applicants meet with high standards of risk management and security control on an on-going basis. It covers all processes within an organization that control the way business is conducted and services are delivered to customers.
UASC is undergoing one of the shipping industry’s most ambitious newbuilding programs comprising eleven 15,000 TEU vessels and six 18,800 TEU vessels to be delivered between November 2014 and September 2016. The nature and complexity of the industry requires a world class information security system and a commitment from management and staff to not only maintain, but continuously improve UASC’s security management.
Waleed Al Dawood, Chief Operating Officer UASC said, “UASC has always considered information security as a key priority. Protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical information in line with international best practices reiterates that data security remains central to our operations.”
