In today's world, where one of the most important assets at our disposal - information and data - is gathered in a digital environment, safeguarding them is paramount. At RSM, a leading global provider of assurance, tax, and consulting services, we prioritize data security, recognizing it as a critical foundation for maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients. This commitment is underscored by implementing international standard for information security, ISO27001 across entire network, including RSM Georgia. This ensures that all information under our care is protected by the highest global standards.

ISO27001 is recognized globally as the benchmark standard for information security management systems (ISMS), providing structured framework for managing both – company’s and customer’s sensitive information.  This standard ensures that information is safeguarded against a wide range of threats and breaches. In an era where cybercrime is rapidly evolving and incidents are increasing, ISO27001 offers a systematic approach to identifying and mitigating risks associated with sensitive data, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security.

The implementation and certification of the ISO27001 standard is a complex and resource-intensive process that demands significant financial investment to align infrastructure with modern standards. However, beyond financial and human resources, consistent steps over time are essential. The journey begins with an in-depth assessment of the organization's existing Information Security Management System (ISMS), where risks and potential threats are identified. This process includes the strategic arrangement of computer devices and network infrastructure to mitigate vulnerabilities. Additionally, the development of comprehensive policies and procedures for data storage and processing is crucial. Equally important is employee training, ensuring that each individual understands their role in maintaining information security and becomes a proactive guardian of data.

At RSM, our priority is to be a trusted partner in our clients' business development journeys. By implementing ISO27001, we have strengthened our information security practices to safeguard our clients' data, databases, confidentiality, and overall security. This achievement reinforces our strong commitment to conducting business with the highest level of responsibility and to the clients who place their trust in us. We extend our appreciation to all those involved in the implementation and certification of this standard, including the UGT team, the RSM Global office, and our colleagues, for their full support and collaboration.
