EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced that ISO (International Standards Organization) 27001 compliancy and certification is now associated with majority of EBSCO proprietary products and services. ISO 27001 is a standard that represents best practices for information security controls. Continued efforts in this area demonstrates EBSCO’s commitment in ensuring the security and privacy of customer and end-user data.
While privacy regulations and vendor obligations differ fundamentally from security needs and goals, EBSCO takes a holistic approach to safeguarding security and customer data protections. By continuing to examine security risks, evaluate processes and implement security controls, the company ensures information security on an ongoing basis. These efforts ensure customers can enjoy peace of mind and have complete trust when leveraging EBSCO’s products and services for a better research experience.
ISO 27001 certification is attained through a rigorous audit and assessment by an independent third party of company processes and the security of its products and services.
Ongoing compliance efforts build on EBSCO’s existing investments in privacy, security and operational processes and its focus on implementing policies and standards in different areas overall. These efforts include GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). EBSCO has also partnered with Guidelines International Network (GIN) and supports Google’s Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA).
