PROJECT TYPE: ISO 9001 & 27001 Management System Development
Sword has experienced rapid expansion both through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. This resulted in a group structure comprising multiple business units, each operating its own ISO 9001-certified management system, audited by different certification bodies.
Sword wanted to simplify their ability to meet client demands for resilience and sustainable services, especially in the context of critical infrastructure clients where robust data security and governance are essential, particularly with the rise in the strategic importance of ISO 27001 conformity.
- Streamlined processes across all business units
- Proof of resilience and robust governance framework
- Enhanced reputation as a trusted IT provider to critical infrastructure
- Award of multi-year, seven-figure contracts
- Improved risk management
- Simplified and robust processes for subsequent acquisitions into the group
