RenewData Awarded ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RenewData, a leading provider of eDiscovery, archiving and review solutions, announced today that it has achieved the prestigious ISO/IEC 27001 certification on information security management systems, which represents credible, third-party authentication that client information stored with RenewData is highly secure. This certification boasts the highest level of standards for security information management and is respected and recognized across all industries. Less than 100 companies in the US have achieved this certification to date.

“The RenewData team is committed and uses well organized processes – ISO/IEC 27001 certification can only serve to improve an already industry-leading business.”

“The best technology in the world will not deliver quality, scale and value unless surrounded by outstanding processes and people,” said Rich Cohen, President of RenewData. “We have implemented an operational infrastructure for safeguarding the integrity and confidentiality of our clients’ data and this certification validates that our investment in technical innovation is matched by an investment in security, cloud deployment capabilities and repeatable processes. We didn’t approach this effort as a “check the box” exercise, but rather a committed investment in quality and scale.”

RenewData chose to measure their ongoing information security program against the ISO/IEC 27001 standard’s rigorous requirements to ensure that their information security is properly managed and maintained. In addition, RenewData’s chain-of-custody process tracks the possession, movement, handling and location of every piece of media received. This highly detailed process is maintained in a defined and documented manner to minimize later allegations of contamination which can compromise a case and carry significant sanctions.

As part of the ISO/IEC 27001 process, BSI, a leading global provider of standards, management systems, business improvement and regulatory approval information, performed on-site assessments, examined RenewData’s documented procedures, and audited its overall operations. To determine continued compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, BSI will periodically conduct routine surveillance audits of RenewData’s business operations to ensure that the information security controls that have been put in place continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis.

"For a company of our complexity and in and industry that demands protection of critical information assets, auditing our information security program is something we are very passionate about,” stated Ed McCracken, COO at RenewData. “Achieving the ISO/IEC 27001 certification serves as confirmation that RenewData continues to meet the industry’s most stringent security standards for the benefit of our clients and keeping their data secure.”

RenewData partnered with CIBER, a global information technology consulting, services and outsourcing company, to help prepare the documentation and participate in the audit as well. The BSI team then worked diligently to plan and execute an assessment process that involved many different teams.

“As one of the first providers of eDiscovery, archiving and review solutions to earn ISO/IEC 27001 certification, RenewData is further demonstrating a commitment to making its company and information of its clients more secure,” said Joseph Muratore, Vice President of Sales for BSI Group America Inc. “The RenewData team is committed and uses well organized processes – ISO/IEC 27001 certification can only serve to improve an already industry-leading business.”
