Aperian Global achieve the highest levels of personal information security

The Challenge

Aperian Global is a cloud-based service that helps some of the largest organisations gather information about the people and companies that work with them. So it’s vital to their business to reach the highest levels of information security through certification in ISO 27001, 27701 and GDPR compliance.

Vivian Kroner, Aperian Global’s lead implementer explains:
“Despite our relatively small size, we have a global presence of consulting and training professionals who incorporate our web technologies around the world.

“Our Fortune 500 clients have been demanding more and more privacy and security documentation.”

“It made sense to obtain a universal privacy standard certification like ISO 27701 rather than going through each client’s internal supplier requirements. Significant business was on the line for us.”

The Solution

Having looked at various solutions, including spreadsheets and templated documents Vivian and the team were looking for a better way of working.

Vivian said: “Initially daunted by the prospect of implementing the ISO 27001 standard, we discovered the ISMS.online platform which had saved the day for other similarly situated companies.

“After looking at the tool, we decided to proceed. In retrospect, this was the best call we could have made.”

“From signature to accreditation, it took us roughly two months to achieve ISO 27701 as an add-on to our existing ISO 27001 certification.”

The Result

Our platform is now a vital part of Aperian Global’s business. We help them maintain, improve and evolve the system.

“By now, we are repeat customers, first for the ISMS to achieve our ISO 27001 certification and then for the PIMS to achieve certification to ISO 27701.”

She added: “Without exception, the staff at Alliantist have been wonderful. Attentive, knowledgeable, and patient, they readily answer our questions and take into consideration our requests for product changes or improvements.”
