Leading accounting and advisory firm RSM Australia (RSM) has announced that it has achieved ISO 27001 certification.

This covers all its 32 offices in Australia providing audit, tax and consulting services to a broad range of clients.

Watch a brief interview video with RSM’s Chief Executive Partner Jamie O’Rourke about RSM’s ISO 27001 certification.

 “Building trusted client relationships has been a pillar of the firm’s strategy to expand and grow in the market.
Maintaining the security of our client data is intrinsically linked to this. In the era of an increased threat of cyber-attacks on any firm, we saw the critical need to add rigour to current processes to demonstrate our commitment to information security to our clients”
said Jamie O’Rourke, Chairman, RSM.

ISO 27001 is a globally recognised standard that includes processes and controls for the establishment, maintenance, and certification of an information security management system (ISMS). The standard ensures that organisations have established methodologies and the framework to identify, manage, and reduce risks to the security of information.

Chris Meehan, Chief Operating Officer for Australia, BSI said, “This accomplishment demonstrates RSM’s commitment to excellence and establishing trust across its 32 sites. The certification which was driven by the leadership team required input from all RSM employees. Strict measures have been taken to protect valuable company data over the last 12 months and moving forward, will continue to remain in place.”
