Fat Beehive remains an ISO 27001 certified digital agency

Keith McDonnell

From data protection to secure infrastructure, ISO 27001 certification confirms that our digital services are built to protect sensitive information.

A robust process

We have renewed our ISO 27001 certification following this year’s external audit, maintaining our position as an ISO 27001 certified digital agency.

For many of the charities we work with, information security is a practical issue rather than an abstract one.

Given they handle sensitive data, often supporting vulnerable communities, they need to have digital services that are dependable and secure.

Maintaining this certification for a second year running independently confirms that we have clear and robust processes in place to manage and protect sensitive information across the business.

Security built into how we work

ISO 27001 centres on an Information Security Management System (ISMS). In simple terms, it’s a framework for identifying risks, controlling access to information and reviewing how data is protected.

For us, that isn’t something that sits in a policy document. It’s part of how we run projects, manage infrastructure and support the websites our clients depend on every day.

The audit looks at how those practices actually operate day to day – not just how they appear in policy documents. Passing the audit confirms that our systems and controls continue to meet the standard.

Why this matters for our clients

Many Fat Beehive clients work in sectors where trust is fundamental: healthcare, education, social care and community services.

Renewing ISO 27001 provides independent confirmation that the systems behind the websites and digital services we build – and the way we manage information internally – are regularly reviewed against a recognised standard.

Continuing the work

Security is never a finished task. Standards evolve, technologies change and risks shift over time.

Renewing ISO 27001 each year gives us a useful checkpoint. It’s an opportunity to review our processes, strengthen our controls and make sure the way we work continues to meet the expectations of the organisations we support.

As far as we’re concerned, certification isn’t just about passing an audit and ticking a box.

It’s about making sure the systems our clients rely on remain secure and well looked after.
