Dumfries, United Kingdom (May 12, 2015) – The annual re-assessment audit for ISO/IEC Standard 27001:2005 for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) passes Sims Recycling Solutions without any non-conformances. ISMS is a management system which certifies best practice in the management of data security and is quickly becoming a pre-requisite to any business working in the field of data security and ICT asset recovery. This standard helps companies identify data security risks and implement appropriate controls, which for Sims will ensure customers their data is being securely managed.
Sims is proud to share this exciting news as this is a true demonstration of its continued commitment to compliance, governance and high quality service delivery of secure IT asset disposal (ITAD) and related IT lifecycle services.
Anand Narasimhan, Sims Recycling Solutions Director, explains: "Clients are placing an ever increasing level of importance on the security of their data and how it is disposed of. This means that they expect providers of asset recovery services to have the very highest security standards in place when it comes to looking after their own data, as well as that of their customers."

“Achieving the highest level of certification is a great demonstration of the efforts made to ensure that we meet top level standards within our industry,” stated Steve Skurnac, Sims Recycling Solutions President. “Great news for us and our customers, and further evidence of Sims’ commitment and dedication to ensure we continue to provide 'best in class' ITAD services in the UK and the rest of Europe.”
