Data protection is a leading concern for organizations of all sizes and sectors, many of whom manage large quantities of sensitive data. Keeping data secure is becoming more and more significant for partners in the publishing industry with such high risks on data security breaches.

Air Business embeds a culture of compliance and best practice when acquiring, storing, processing and sharing personal data. Achieving certification BS 10012 supports an organisation’s information governance strategy, helping them respond to immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk and operational requirements. This certification is aligned with GDPR.

This is the latest official certification that Air Business adds to its portfolio, including ISO 27001, ISO 50001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Additionally, Air Business Subscriptions has long-operated to PCI-DSS Level 1 standard which ensures that its data and financial security is at the highest level, in fact the same as the banks.

Adam Sherman, Air Business Group Managing Director commented on the achievement: “We are extremely proud that Air Business is now BS 10012 certified. We understand that data is a precious asset for our customers and we take this very seriously as a company. We are relentless in ensuring that their data is as safe as possible. As a company, we will work to continually uphold the highest standards. ”

Andrew Parks, Head of Compliance & Infrastructure DPO, added: “Gaining this certification has been a stringent process. We have worked hard to put strict measures in place to continue to ensure our customers’ data is kept private. At Air Business we are trusted by our clients to handle personal data in a secure environment and BS 10012 continues to prove our commitment.”
