The XCD Group is now ISO 27001 certified, with both Hireserve and XCD achieving the certification following the successful completion of rigorous audits across both businesses.

ISO is the largest creator of standards, specifying worldwide requirements for products, services, and processes.

The ISO 27001 certification is widely considered to be the gold standard in terms of information security, providing the guidelines for a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS).

What this means for our customers

With the types of data that the business handles – not only sensitive HR & Payroll data but also special category data – this certification is evidence of our commitment to data security and the implementation of systems that fully comply with international standards to the highest degree.

It provides:

  • Improved customer and business partner confidence
  • Alignment with customer requirements
  • Increased reliability and security of systems and information
  • Improved management processes and integration with risk strategies
  • Increased business resilience

Simon Fowler, CEO of XCD Group said: “Trust is critical to the solutions we provide. Our customers put a lot of faith in our ability to handle their data appropriately, and this certification provides additional assurance that we deserve their trust. It is recognition of our dedication to information security and proof of our commitment to providing the highest possible standards.”
