Certifications
At Colt, we always hold our work to the highest standard of accountability. We follow a number of globally recognised management systems, which demonstrate that our organisation meets international standards in providing services. These certificates are assessed independently. We have achieved the following international standards:
ISO
ISO/IEC 27701:2019
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001. The design goal is to enhance the existing Information Security Management System (ISMS) with extra requirements to establish, implement, maintain, + continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The standard outlines a framework for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controllers and PII Processors to manage privacy controls to reduce the risk to the privacy rights of individuals.

ISO/IEC 22301:2019
This is the international standard that recognises that Colt operates a global Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) that complies with the requirements of ISO 22301:2019.
