Africa HR Solutions Achieves ISO 27001 Information Security Management Certification

ISO/IEC 27001 Press Release

5th of December 2024 

Africa HR Solutions has met all the standards required to achieve the internationally recognised ISO/IEC 27001 certification. It was awarded by the British Standards Institution, a global standards and certifications body based in the UK, itself recognised by UKAS.  

ISO/IEC 27001 provides an accredited framework for data security, cyber-resilience, and organisation-wide protection for all data, including sensitive information like financial documents, intellectual property, and employee personal data. This dramatically reduces the chances of data breaches, data thefts, privacy leaks and other cybercrimes, keeping our clients’ data safe when they are conducting business in Africa.  

For Africa HR Solutions, this certification offers an additional layer of safety as well as peace of mind to our clients who routinely entrust us with highly sensitive data, and who expand to Africa with the expectation of world-class service.  

“Achieving ISO 27001 certification was no small feat.” It required rigorous dedication, meticulous planning, and a deep commitment to strengthening our information security practices. This certification not only validates our ability to safeguard sensitive data but also assures our clients that their trust is well-placed in us. It sets us apart from the competition by demonstrating our proactive approach to security, providing an extra layer of confidence in our business. With ISO 27001, we are not just meeting industry standards—we're exceeding them, ensuring the highest level of protection for our clients' most valuable assets. This certification also reflects our commitment to enhancing security standards across Africa, fostering greater confidence among our clients in the region and showcasing our leadership in a competitive market."
