K. H. Wegapitiya, Managing Director Thilak de Silva and the Group IT team with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification Marking yet another milestone in their relentless quest to provide world class services, LAUGFS Group IT received ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification for the recently implemented Information Security Management System (ISMS) from the world renowned certification body Bureau Veritas. Implemented with the expert assistance of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the security system manages and controls information and risks in security whilst maintaining the integrity, protection and preservation and confidentiality of information. Commenting on the ISMS implementation and the significance of receiving the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, LAUGFS Holdings Group Chief Information Officer, Indika Gunawardena, said, “This is a significant achievement for LAUGFS and a testament to our continuous commitment to our customers data security. ISO 27001 certification requires rigorous and repeated external assessment and demands applicants to meet high standards of risk management and security controls on an on-going basis. This year we will further strengthen our Business continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities by going for Businesses Continuity Management (BCM) – ISO 22301, which will certify our existing BCM best practices”. ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification requires organizations to follow rigorous standards in establishment, implementation and maintenance of information security management systems as well as continuous service enhancement. Moreover, the criteria mandate specific requirements for organizations to assess and handle information security risks in line with the needs of the organization. – LAUGFS
Cultural factors such as the implementation of lean management practices also help teams of developers deliver improved IT performance. You’ll often hear the words ‘Agile’ and ‘DevOps’ in close proximity, which can lead to confusion. Both share the same goals of improved IT performance via the rapid, iterative development of small software components. However, compared to Agile software development , DevOps also factors in the deployment phase, with ‘Ops’ teams in constant communication with their ‘Dev’ counterparts. DevOps is, in many ways, a successor to or outgrowth from Agile. Cloud-native applications, rapid development and deployment, plus high levels of automation and orchestration, are the norm among web-scale giants, and also startups — ‘greenfield’ organisations that are minimally encumbered by legacy infrastructure and applications. But what do recent surveys tells us about the prevalence of this approach in ‘brownfield’ organisations such as enterprises? (See also Tech Pro Research’s survey, summarised elsewhere in this special report). What the surveys say RightScale’s annual State of the Cloud surveys have tracked DevOps adoption for the past five years, and seen it rise from 54 percent in 2013 to 78 percent in 2017. Adoption rates are consistently higher in enterprises than in SMBs: Data: RightScale / Image: ZDNet RightScale’s data also shows a big jump in enterprise-wide DevOps adoption from 21 percent in 2016 to 30 percent in 2017.

The accreditation covers the certification of companies applying the ISO9001 Management Standard. As Dr. A Rahim, Director of NKK(UK) Ltd explains, Whilst ClassNK does already provide a broad spectrum of accredited certification services, the accreditation of NKK(UK) Ltd offers a high level of service provided at a more local level. NKK(UK) Ltd. is already building on this beginning and expects to be accredited for ISO14001 very shortly. In addition, certification of OHSAS 18001 can also be performed directly through NKK(UK) Ltd. Furthermore, by close cooperation with ClassNK and by having a common pool of Auditors, we can ensure that other certification needs beyond these three standards, including all mandatory certification and surveys, are carried out in a coordinated and cost effective manner for all our clients.

As weve seen, better processes lead to happier customers, as their needs are met. Satisfied customers lead to referral business, helping your business to grow organically alongside your existing marketing efforts. Happy customers are also the key for success for companies with business models that focus on recurring revenue, since its much cheaper to retain a customer than to gain a new one. The result is reduced customer churn, leading to faster business growth. Improved processes also result in greater efficiency within your organisation.

The ISO 9001 system requires businesses to keep a documented system along with an error log, making it easy to step back and review your day-to-day systems . This helps you iron out any unwanted issues, unneeded complexities, and anything hindering your efficiency.

The standard is intended to be applicable to any organisation regardless of size, type and nature. All of the requirements of the standard are intended to be integrated into the existing management processes of the organisation. At a recent meeting in Toronto safety and health experts faced nearly 3,000 individual points from a consultation on the ISO 45001 . The sheer volume and detail of the comments mean that the new international standard publication date will not be before until June 2017. Delay will ensure a practical standard The UK Institution of Occupational Health and Safety (IOSH) is a liaison body for ISO 45001 and was represented at the Toronto meeting by its head of policy and public affairs, Richard Jones, and chartered IOSH member Phil Bates. Mr Jones Richard said: A great deal of progress has been made and IOSH is pleased to be part of this important development process. The volume and diversity of responses to the DIS shows the keen interest and engagement that ISO 45001 is already generating. Securing agreement and reaching consensus remain vital. Extending the time frame supports achievement of this and helps ensure the overall outcome is a practical, robust and effective standard that can assist organisations worldwide improve health and safety performance.
