India's leading Managed IT Services Provider and carrier-neutral Internet Datacenter is now ISO 27001 certified. NetMagic has completed the rigorous and stringent ISO 27001 certification procedure (formerly referred to as BS7799-2).

What is BS7799?

BS7799 is the British standard for the protection of an organizations information asset. When it comes to outsourcing, security is a must, not an option. The standard for information Security management system (ISMS) BS7799 is a systematic approach to managing sensitive customer information so that it remains secure. The four stages of the certification process are Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA).

What is the difference between ISO27001 and BS7799?
ISO 27001, titled "Information Security Management - Specification With Guidance for Use", is the replacement for BS7799-2. It is intended to provide the foundation for third party audit, and is 'harmonized' with other management standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Why did we do it?
Being India's leading carrier-neutral private focused Internet datacenter means being responsible for our customer's crucial information. We host mission-critical data and applications of India's largest enterprises, and providing them with confidence and peace of mind is high on our list of priorities.

How did we do it?
Unlike other providers who choose to a partial certification approach, NetMagic's entire organization is BS7799 certified. This means that our entire Datacenter, Network Operations Center, Helpdesk, and back-office conform to the stringent criteria mandated by this certification. An internal task force comprising security specialists, auditors, and domain experts were deployed to ensure that every facet of the organization conformed to the Information Security Management Systems mandated by the certifying authority.
