The first half of this year has been a busy time for James Hagan, our Compliance and Sustainability Lead, and the rest of the Datum team. We’re delighted to announce the successful completion of several important ISO accreditation audits, reflecting our commitment to quality, security, sustainability, and continuous improvement across all aspects of our business.
Striving for excellence - our ISO accreditations
ISO audits completed
A closer look at what we’ve achieved
Transitioning and re-certifying ISO 27001:2022
One of the highlights of our recent efforts was the transition to the 27001:2022, coupled with a full re-certification of the standard. Over 4.5 days, BSI rigorously audited every element of our Information Security Management System (ISMS).
BSI recognised that we’re not only maintaining but improving our ISMS year after year. All the new controls required by the 2022 update had been successfully implemented since our last audit, demonstrating our dedication to protecting data and ensuring information security for our clients.
Improving energy and environmental management with ISO 50001 and ISO 14001
Sustainability remains at the heart of who we are, and this was evident in our recent ISO 50001 and ISO 14001 audits. The audits confirmed that we are continuously improving our energy performance and aligning our efforts with environmental best practices; the work we have undertaken to develop and maintain our Energy Management System (EnMS) and Environmental Management System (EMS) meets the requirements of both standards.
Re-certifying ISO 9001:2015
We are also pleased to have successfully completed a full re-certification of ISO 9001:2015. During the audit, BSI highlighted our commitment to maintaining and improving our Quality Management System. They noted that the principles of the accreditation are generally embedded in our daily operations, helping us achieve our strategic goals while delivering consistent value to our clients.
Preparing for the next chapter
While we celebrate these achievements, we’re already preparing for the next stage of our ISO journey. Our team is working hard to extend the scopes of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 to our Manchester site. This expansion will ensure that our high standards of quality, environmental responsibility, and energy management are applied consistently across all locations.
We also welcome the valuable feedback provided by BSI during these audits. By addressing opportunities for improvement and minor non-conformities, we continue to refine our processes and enhance our readiness for the next round of audits. Ultimately, these efforts allow us to share the benefits of best practices with our clients, delivering even greater value.
A commitment to constant growth
At Datum, we view ISO certifications as more than just standards to meet; they embody our ethos of striving for excellence in everything we do. These certifications are integral to our promise of delivering reliable, secure, and sustainable solutions for our clients. We extend our gratitude to the entire Datum team for their hard work and dedication during these audits.
