NEW ORLEANS, LA – Irwin Fritchie Urquhart Moore & Daniels LLC is proud to announce that the firm’s already stringent data management system has now become even more secure through the achievement of the ISO 27001 Management Systems Certification through the BSI Group certification program.

“In today's digital landscape,” stated Irwin Fritchie President, Timothy F. Daniels, “data security must be a principal concern when working with sensitive information, especially that of our clients. Irwin Fritchie’s achievement of this certification has provided our attorneys and staff with the framework necessary to manage and protect sensitive information on all levels. It also stands as a clear demonstration of our commitment, not only to data security, but to the peace of mind of the firm’s current and future clients.”

Considered the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS), ISO 27001 was developed by the International Standard Organization (ISO) as a means by which organizations can continuously and effectively protect their data. This standard defines the requirements that must be met for an organization to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve its information security management system.

Rather than focusing on the protection of specific types of data – i.e., HIPAA’s protection of personal health information – ISO 27001 is the international standard for protecting nearly all types of business data in all forms.

Key Benefits of ISO 27001 Certification for Irwin Fritchie Clients:

Enhanced Data Security:
ISO 27001 certification ensures that our organization follows best practices in information security management. By implementing stringent controls and risk management processes, we mitigate the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and cyber-attacks. Clients can trust that their sensitive information is safeguarded according to internationally recognized standards.

Regulatory Compliance:
Many industries are subject to stringent regulatory requirements governing data protection and privacy. ISO 27001 certification further aligns Irwin Fritchie with these regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

Strengthened Business Relationships:
ISO 27001 certification serves as a powerful differentiator in the marketplace. Clients seeking partners who prioritize data security and proactive approaches to risk management are further able to trust and verify that Irwin Fritchie treats client data as a top priority.

Improved Operational Efficiency:
Implementing an ISMS based on ISO 27001 principles promotes efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and addressing security risks, streamlining processes, and enhancing communication. These improved operational efficiencies, in turn, translate to better service delivery and increased client satisfaction.

Continual Improvement:
ISO 27001 certification is not a one-time achievement but a journey towards continual improvement. Through regular audits, assessments, and reviews, Irwin Fritchie will ensure that the firm’s information security practices remain robust and adaptive to evolving threats. Clients will then benefit from Irwin Fritchie’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve in safeguarding their data.
