New York, NY (April 26, 2024) – Epstein Becker Green (EBG) is pleased to announce that the firm has once again earned International Organization for Standardization (ISO) ISO/IEC 27001 and 27017 certifications, strict codes of practice governing the safeguarding of digital data. The firm’s certification portfolio includes the highest accreditations available for information protection and security.
Robert Guilbert, EBG’s Chief Information Officer, stated, "Our information and security systems underwent thorough audits once more, and we are proud to announce that we have again attained full accreditation. These certifications underscores our capacity to securely protect and preserve the confidentiality of client data entrusted to us. It reflects our commitment to information security and highlights our foremost objective of safeguarding our clients' sensitive information. We remain dedicated to enhancing our security measures and fortifying our defenses against cyber threats. Obtaining both ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 elevates our information security to a level that few organizations or law firms have achieved."
How EBG’s ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27017 Certifications Benefit Clients
At EBG, protecting the confidentiality and integrity of client data is of paramount importance, and this achievement highlights the firm’s commitment to information security at every level. EBG’s ongoing efforts to comply with the ISO standards, along with the required verifications by an independent third-party auditor, demonstrate that the firm’s ISMS is comprehensive, state of the art, and follows international best practices. In order to best serve our clients, we strive to provide our clients with clarity and assurance regarding the extent and strength of the firm’s information security program. In turn, our priority to protect client data continues to provide us with insight into how to help our clients strengthen their own data security policies and procedures and minimize their risks. In addition, undergoing the arduous process of obtaining and maintaining ISO 27001 certification, as well as adding ISO 27017, continues to make EBG attorneys and staff more sensitive and aware of their collective responsibility to safeguard our clients’ and the firm’s sensitive information.
How EBG Maintained Its ISO/IEC 27001 Certification and Acquired the ISO/IEC 27017 Certification
In order to uphold the ISO certification standards and follow security best practices, EBG must continually review and work to improve the firm’s security posture. To ensure that the firm meets these ongoing obligations, our information security systems underwent an annual audit by an independent third-party auditor. This audit is meant to verify that our information security practices and procedures are updated and in line with the rapidly changing technology landscape. The firm uses BSI as its certification body organization.
