Willmott Dixon has been awarded the ISO 27001 certification across its entire business, recognising its commitment to IT security management and keeping company and customer data secure.

ISO 27001 recognises good practice on the management of IT security. It tackles people, processes and technology to ensure organisations manage their information in the best way possible. The accreditation follows a two month audit across the businesses’ sites and offices in England and Wales, ensuring all of the criteria was met.


Alan Ramsay, Chief Information Officer at Willmott Dixon explained: "It is an important requirement for our customers to feel assured their information and data is protected, it is something we are being asked about increasingly more frequently, especially for Government and public sector customers.

"Following on from our existing Cyber Essentials accreditation, when reviewing these requirements, pursuing certification via ISO 27001 was the obvious choice for providing these assurances.

"Through obtaining the accreditation across the entire business, we are able to assure our customers – whether they are in Newcastle or Plymouth, or anywhere in-between that they are working with a company that puts IT security management at the heart of its business practice."
