City Lifeline, the central London colocation data centre, has today been awarded ISO27001 Information Security Management Certification. This accreditation confirms that City Lifeline’s security systems and processes meet the highest recognized international standards for physical security and for information security.

Security, both of equipment operation and data integrity, is critical for all companies and organisations. When asked, organisations using data centre and colocation services consistently rate security as their number one priority. Internationally administered and recognized ISO27001 certification gives customers confidence that a data centre operates to the highest level of security and that it consistently delivers what it claims.

Commenting on the achievement, Roger Keenan, Managing Director at City Lifeline said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded the prestigious ISO27001 accreditation. Achieving ISO27001 took us over a year of hard work.  All of our existing processes and procedures were reviewed and overhauled where needed and comprehensively documented. City Lifeline has always been strong on security and this new certification confirms that companies and organisations can trust and rely on us to keep their equipment and data 100% secure.”

ISO27001 is an internationally recognised certification which sets out specific physical and information security standards, which must be continuously maintained by those to whom it is awarded.
