ISO 27001 certification

Certification means that:

• Barclays UK Retail Online Banking has met the demands of the International Organization for Standardization and by doing so ensures that Barclays are continually recognised as a global leader in security and resilience,
• Barclays can demonstrate its active compliance with the requirements of its regulators
• Barclays has a distinct differentiation in the market place when it comes to protecting its customers

Sean Gilchrist, Digital Banking Director, said: “This is a really fantastic achievement. The ISO certificate shows that Barclays takes information security seriously and that Barclays customer data is in safe hands.”

Certification to ISO 27001 is one of a number of initiatives within Barclays Digital Banking that helps us to give our customers a safer place to do business. Other initiatives include the award-winning PINsentry device and free security software

Our certification was supported and confirmed by the British Standards Institution (BSI). BSI provides assessment and certification to a number of management system standards in over 150 countries worldwide.

Organisations from business to government are increasingly seeking certification to management system standards in order to address challenges facing the world community, from the globalisation of trade to climate change, security and healthcare.
