Accreditations and compliance

Trust should be supported by evidence.

Independent certification, tested controls and transparent operating standards give you a clearer basis for assessing the organisations trusted with your technology and information.

Why assurance matters

Your technology partner becomes part of your risk environment.

An IT provider may hold administrative access, manage security controls, support your users and process information about your organisation. Trust is essential, but trust alone is not a due diligence process.

Independent certifications provide tangible evidence that defined controls and management processes have been assessed against recognised requirements. Maintaining them over time also matters: assurance should reflect an operating discipline, not a badge earned once and forgotten.

Fifosys combines audited certification with transparent service processes, documented controls and continual improvement. This gives clients, auditors and stakeholders a clearer foundation for supplier assessment and ongoing governance.

Independently assessed

Our core security certifications.

Each certification addresses a different aspect of assurance. Together they demonstrate both an information-security management system and independently tested foundational cyber controls.

Information security management

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems. It provides a structured approach to managing information risk through governance, defined controls, review and continual improvement.

Fifosys first achieved certification in 2013 and has maintained it continuously since. That history demonstrates an ongoing commitment to operating the management system rather than treating certification as a one-time exercise.

Cyber Essentials Plus certification
Government-backed cyber assurance

Cyber Essentials Plus

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme focused on protection against common cyber threats. The Plus level includes independent technical verification rather than relying only on a self-assessment.

Maintaining Cyber Essentials Plus provides evidence that the required technical controls are operating within the assessed scope and reinforces the practical security foundations supporting the wider Fifosys service.

What this means for clients

Evidence that supports better supplier assurance.

Certification does not remove every risk, but it gives your organisation a stronger and more transparent basis for evaluating how a technology partner manages security.

01

Recognised control frameworks

Security management is organised around established requirements rather than undocumented or entirely self-defined practices.

02

Independent scrutiny

External assessment adds a level of evidence beyond a provider simply stating that its controls are effective.

03

Continual review

Maintained certification requires the management system and relevant controls to remain active as technology, threats and the organisation change.

04

A clearer due diligence conversation

Procurement, security and compliance teams have a stronger starting point for asking about scope, responsibility, evidence and risk.

Assurance in practice

Standards need to be visible in the way the service operates.

The value of certification is realised through daily decisions, consistent processes and accountable ownership across the service.

01

Governance and ownership

Defined responsibilities, policies and review processes establish who owns information-security decisions and how exceptions are handled.

02

People and access

Access is managed around roles and responsibilities, supported by employee awareness and appropriate operational controls.

03

Technology and protection

Security controls are considered across identities, endpoints, cloud services, networks, data and the tools used to deliver support.

04

Monitoring and response

Events, vulnerabilities and incidents require clear routes for identification, investigation, escalation and corrective action.

05

Supplier management

Third-party dependencies form part of the risk picture and need defined expectations, assessment and ongoing oversight.

06

Audit and improvement

Reviews, findings and operational evidence inform corrective action and continual improvement rather than simply confirming the status quo.

Supporting your compliance journey

A certified provider can strengthen your position, but it does not make your organisation compliant automatically.

Your compliance responsibilities remain specific to your organisation, sector, contracts and risk. The role of Fifosys is to help you understand the technology and security controls within that wider picture, identify gaps and put proportionate improvements into practice.

That may include assessment, remediation, evidence, ongoing control management and clearer reporting. The objective is not to collect badges. It is to build a technology environment that can withstand appropriate scrutiny and support the commitments your business has made.
