Doha, November 11 (QNA) - Qatar Post has successfully received the ISO 27001:2013 certification for its implementation of the Information Security Management System (ISMC), boosting customer confidence with its robust new protective measures of personal and commercial records.

The ISO 27001:2013 is an international recognized framework that helps organizations become more resilient and responsive to information security threats.

Commenting on the occasion, Chairman and Managing Director of Qatar Post Faleh Al Naemi said that the award is more evidence that Qatar Post is meeting rigorous international standards in ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.

"At Qatar Post we understand the importance of trust and security, especially when working with personal and commercially-sensitive data, both of which require a high standard of information security to uphold those values," he said.

The 27001: 2013 is primarily an information security standard published and managed by the International Organization for Standards (ISO). It ensures that systems and processes at organizations protect clients from unnecessary risk and exposure through best-in-class data privacy and security standards. With the certification, Qatar Post has joined 38 already certified government agencies in the country.

The formal process of implementation began in June 2018 with a strategic alignment with Qatar Posts objectives. A new framework of action was developed around the IT security policies, procedures, guidelines, and standards to support and govern the information security management within the Qatar Post IT environment.
