Management of information security high on agenda for Donghua

Donghua Limited, the UK arm of one of the world’s biggest chain manufacturers, has been awarded ISO 27001 certification following an assessment by NQA, an independent certification body. ISO 27001:2005 is an internationally-recognised standard that certifies companies have a proven information security management system (ISMS).  
 

 

Bob Wellsbury, managing director of midlands based Donghua Limited, explained: “This is a really important certification for us because it demonstrates to existing and potential customers that Donghua is ‘the best in class’ by having security controls and risk management practices in place to manage the security of our customer’s information, specifically relating to order processing, warehousing and distribution of our chains, sprockets and attachments. This certification is particularly relevant to sectors where management of confidential or sensitive information is paramount.”

 

An ISMS encompasses people, processes and IT systems and this standard requires that Donghua examines information security risks, implements comprehensive information security controls and risk management practices, and ensures that the information security controls continue to meet the company’s needs.

 

The Hangzhou Donghua Chain Group serves customers globally and produces over 30 million metres of finished chain per year. The headquarters in China has achieved a number of internationally-recognised quality standards and all subsidiaries are expected to have this same commitment. Donghua Limited received certification to ISO 9001 in 2010.
