HONG KONG, Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Geoswift, a
leading provider of cross-border payment solutions between
China and the rest of the world,
announced today that the company has been awarded the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification ISO/IEC
27001:2013. The ISO27001 certificate is a globally recognised
international standard for Information Security management system
(ISMS). Geoswift presently partners with major global banks,
financial service providers, payment solutions providers and
merchants.
Attaining ISO/IEC 27001:2013 enables Geoswift to continually
enhance the organization's data security management system and
build a risk-based framework for process and secure cross-border
payments with international markets. Geoswift received the
certification following an extensive external audit, conducted by
the BSI group. The certification further seals an international
certification of reassurance for Geoswift's partners on data
security and protection.
Raymond Qu, Founder and CEO of
Geoswift said, "We believe data security and quality control is
essential for any business. At Geoswift, we have always taken a
proactive approach to safeguard the information integrity and
security of our partners."
"As we expand our global footprint, data security of assets such
as financial information, intellectual property and third-party
data from partners must be guarded with highest diligence and
respect. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification was certainly an
intensive auditing process but a step in the right direction. Our
partners welcome the move and it's definitely a business investment
as we continue to expand our business and deepen relationships with
partners this year."
"In the global payment market, security and reliability are
non-negotiable. It is of utmost importance for technology
organizations to improve their standards of security and
reliability. The success of Geoswift in achieving the ISO/IEC
27001:2013 certification, the latest standard of information
security management system, demonstrates the strategic long-term
development as well as rigorous and serious work attitude of the
organization in protecting their users' information. Also, it
indicates their determination to incorporate international best
practices of data protection to meet the increasing expectation of
its business customers in the large, rapidly expanding
marketplace," said Emmanuel Herve,
Managing Director, BSI ASEAN.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification signals Geoswift's
commitment to strengthen the integrity and security of its
information security management system. Geoswift is headquartered
in Hong Kong with operating
offices in Shanghai, London, Vancouver, Seattle and San
