Elevating Information Security

We are delighted to announce that Metro has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the international gold standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

This milestone is the result of a rigorous external audit process, covering all aspects of how we manage sensitive information across our business and embraces every service.

The certification, issued by NQA/BM TRADA, confirms that Metro operates to the highest standards of data confidentiality and integrity, across all UK locations.

The Gold Standard for Information Security Management Systems
ISO 27001 is a globally recognised framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. It defines how organisations should assess and treat information security risks, ensuring robust controls are in place to safeguard data, whether physical, digital, or in transit.

Attaining ISO 27001 involves a comprehensive review of information handling processes, risk assessments, staff training, documentation, incident response plans, and technical controls. It also requires commitment from leadership, internal audits, and an external assessment by accredited certification bodies. And it doesn’t stop there; ongoing monitoring and recertification ensure continuous improvement.
