For the seventh year in a row, XConnect has successfully achieved ISO 27001 recertification. While this milestone is something we are proud of, it represents far more than a checkbox exercise.
In an industry built on trust, connectivity and the secure exchange of data, maintaining the highest standards of information security is fundamental to everything we do.
Security as a Foundation, Not a Checkbox
ISO 27001 is the globally recognised gold standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Achieving certification once is an accomplishment. Sustaining it year after year requires ongoing commitment, process reviews and improvement.
At XConnect, information security is not treated as a one-off project or a compliance exercise. Instead, it is embedded into our culture, our processes and our technology.
Each annual audit challenges us to reassess risks, strengthen controls and adapt to an ever-changing threat landscape — particularly critical in the telecoms sector; all whilst using every event as a learning exercise.
Why ISO 27001 is fundamental to everything we do
Networks underpin global communications. They carry vast volumes of sensitive data and play a crucial role in fraud prevention, service continuity and regulatory compliance. As a trusted partner to operators and service providers worldwide, XConnect operates at the heart of this ecosystem.
ISO 27001 helps ensure that:
- Confidentiality is maintained across customer, partner and employee data
- Integrity of information is protected from unauthorised alteration
- Availability of systems and services is preserved, even in the face of incidents
This risk-based framework spans people, processes and technology, providing confidence that security is managed proactively — not reactively.
Demonstrating Long-Term Commitment
The current ISO 27001:2022 standard reflects modern security challenges, including evolving cyber threats and stricter regulatory expectations such as GDPR.
Maintaining certification under this latest version demonstrates that XConnect continues to invest in up-to-date systems, company-wide training and best practices.
Trust, Transparency, and Accountability
For our customers and partners, ISO 27001 recertification provides tangible assurance. It shows that XConnect:
- Proactively manages information security risks
- Meets legal, regulatory and contractual obligations
- Takes responsibility for protecting the data entrusted to us
Our long-standing certification reinforces XConnect’s position as a reliable, security-focused partner.
Looking Ahead
Seven consecutive years of ISO 27001 recertification is a testament to the dedication of our teams and our belief that security excellence is paramount to everything we stand for.
As threats evolve and expectations rise, we remain committed to strengthening our security stance and supporting a safer, more resilient telecoms industry – backing our commitment to Restore Trust in CommunicationsTelecoms.
