JT’s data centres and cloud service reach information security management standard

Monday 15 August 2016

JT has announced that its Data Centre facilities and Cloud Service have achieved the internationally recognised Information Security Management certification, ISO/IEC 27001.

To attain this important certification JT was required to demonstrate that its Data Centres and Cloud Service align with best practice around an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Adhering to the set of controls outlined by ISO/IEC 27001, means JT has examined the risks around information security and put in place policies and procedures to manage those risks to protect its information assets and those of its customers.

As the Channel Islands’ provider of Data Centre facilities, JT already meets the highest level of recognised industry standards including certification from Service Organisation Controls (SOC 2 and 3) and achieving the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). In addition, in 2015 JT’s award-winning Cloud Platform became the first of its kind to gain regulatory approval from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission to host global eGaming customers and recently received the Best Go-to-Market Cloud Strategy Awards in the inaugural Telco Cloud Forum Awards. 

Managing Director of JT’s Global Enterprise Division, Paul Taylor, said: “Achieving another major level of accreditation is a further demonstration of the level of quality of our market-leading Channel Island’s hosting facilities. ISO/IEC 27001 is a highly regarded and much sought after certification and adding this to our portfolio of quality endorsements is testament to the hard work of our teams that have played part in ensuring that as a company we adhere to the most stringent controls. I’m very proud of the joint commitment shown by our teams to delivering the very best service levels across the JT Group."
