In 2005 OKS achieved yet another milestone in improving its business practices. As of 1st of May, after one single audit, OKS’s production division was accredited with the ISO 17799 (BS7799) certification for its internal system monitoring, measuring and controlling information security. As of this date, OKS’s production division is registered with the British Standards Institution (BSI), which is the oldest and most extensive standards body in the world today.
The key benefits of this certification to OKS’ clients comprise that:
Information stored at OKS is secure by providing for:
A physical, personnel and environmental security policy
Comprehensive Systems Access Control
Extensive systems development and maintenance
A focus on due diligence
Minimising a client’s business risks by reducing security threats
Compliance to applicable laws and regulations
Frequently recurring internal and external audits provide continued transparency of security standards.
Internationally, the ISO 17799 standard is viewed as a reward for the commitment to the information-security and quality standards of the organisation. Eighty companies in India are currently certificated with ISO 17799, and so far only twenty outsourcing companies - including OKS - were accredited.
