Blue Stream Academy are ISO 27001 Certified

Blue Stream Academy Ltd, the UK's leading provider of online training to the healthcare industry, are pleased to have achieved this certification.

We are delighted to announce that Blue Stream Academy, the UK’s leading provider of online training to the healthcare industry, has achieved ISO27001:2013 certification.

Over recent years, and particularly since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on 25th May, 2018; there has been an increased focus upon how the personal data of individuals is used, managed and protected; increasing the responsibility placed upon the organisations responsible for controlling and/or processing the data.

ISO27001:2013 is a comprehensive internationally recognised framework defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which establishes best practices and controls with regards to Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This ensures that risks are identified, and measures put it in place, enabling management and/or reduction of risks to the information held.

This means that Blue Stream Academy Ltd. have:

• Identified information security risks and systematically evaluated them taking into account the impact of threats and vulnerabilities.

• Created a set of controls to mitigate these risks.

• Ensured a management process reviews these risks and controls.

• Committed to an ongoing programme of internal audits.

• Have been audited by an ISO accredited certifying body to test for conformity.

Quality and integrity are part of our core values; given the importance of data within the healthcare industry, information security is naturally a major area of focus for the Company and a responsibility that we take very seriously. It is great that the significant effort and involvement from every Blue Stream Academy employee to achieve the ISO27001 certification has been recognised, and is further evidence that we are constantly challenging ourselves to improve our service to meet, or where possible, exceed the needs and expectations of our customers.
