Google Apps receives ISO 27001 certification
- gouranga 14y agoMy father's company is ISO 27001 certified. It's a joke I tell you, a joke.
- rbanffy 14y agoIt's a good thing. Many entities are limited on what providers and tools they can use. It this means one less Exchange or Sharepoint installation, it was worth the effort.
- radimm 14y agoguess that's must have in the checklist world. Personally would prefer to get hold of a real person when needed though
- jmillikin 14y agogoogle enterprise has a subscription fee, and therefore live support.

- 16s 14y agoI used to do this sort of thing informally (meaning that we followed the standard and based our internal standards on it, but never sought certification) when I was an ISO. It would be interesting to see the scope that describes in detail what exactly was certified. These certifications are typically very focused and not general or broad. For example, I saw a company's data center certified once and one specific system is a teaching hospital's IT department, but I've never seen a very broad, general certification. Based on what I've seen, the cost would be enormous and it would take years. It's an on-going process too that never really ends.
