13 December 2010

The Maidenhead-based remortgaging experts, Gordons Property Lawyers, have been awarded the ISO 27001 certification, following an assessment by an independent body. The Information Security Management Award is incredibly prestigious within the sector, having only been achieved by less than 1% of businesses in the UK. Supported by the Government and recognised worldwide, the certification formally specifies the management system for information security. In order to achieve the certification, Gordons Property Lawyers had to show they satisfied the specific requirements for the establishment, implementation, monitoring and review, maintenance and improvement of their management system - an overall management and control framework - for managing their organization’s information security risks. Bob Bhalla, Managing Partner of Gordons Property Lawyers, said he was ‘delighted’ at the certificate, adding: “We have always been proud of the service we offer our Clients and the way that we conduct our business, including the importance we give to Information Security matters which are currently a focus of many Clients. The award of ISO 27001 certification has been confirmed by outside experts who are used to judging standards on a daily basis, so it puts it in an even higher regard.” Peter Carvin, who undertook the assessment for QMA Quality Management Systems, paid particular tribute to “the investment in people and training that enables Gordons to provide an efficient and Information Security aware service to their customers and Clients.” The award follows the privately-owned solicitors’ win of Best Conveyancer 2010 at the Mortgage Strategy Awards, held earlier this year.
