Allen & Overy gets cyber seal of approval in the U.S. for information security
January 30, 2012
Allen & Overy announced today that it has received the prestigious ISO 27001 certification for the way it protects confidential information on its computer systems. The certification comes after a rigorous assessment by a certified examination body.
Allen & Overy achieved this highly sought-after mark of excellence in London three years ago – the first major law firm to do so – and it was later extended to include the firm's offices across Europe in 2011 and now the U.S. in 2012.
Allen & Overy's Chief Information Officer Gareth Ash said, "We are leading the pack on information security. This certification provides real business benefits when working with our clients and future clients, especially within the financial industry."
