Dubai-based Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), the world’s largest district cooling services provider, has announced the successful re-certification of Information Security from British Standards International.

Based on International Standards for Information Security Management System (ISO27001:2013), the re-certification audit has resulted in a satisfactory opinion for Empower’s policies and procedures. British Standards International awarded Empower the re-certification certificate after the company passed a rigorous audit of its business processes, it said.

The audit covered operations of Empower at the head office and all critical processes of Empower. The company underwent a comprehensive audit and assessment processes and functions related to Information Security governance, operations and assurance.

"Achieving the (ISO27001:2013) recertification is a significant accomplishment. The successful completion demonstrates Empower’s expertise in information security management and its dedication to have the top levels of security in place throughout the company. While the re-certification represents the beginning of our commitment to the quality of our management processes and information security, it also outlines our ability to continued improvements," said Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower.    

The British Standards International has the highest level of security specialisation recognising the experience in providing information security. Companies looking to achieve these quality certifications must submit information about completed projects to design and implement network infrastructure security solutions, and then meet all certification requirements that demonstrate highest security solutions.

Empower currently operates more than 1.250 million RT, providing environmentally responsible district cooling services to large-scale real estate developments. – TradeArabia News Service
