A key element of Airinmar's business is the management of its customer’s proprietary information, which can include: historical repair data, supplier and end-customer contracts, and the day to day processing of component repairs.

Security of this data and proprietary knowledge is paramount to the customer and it is therefore essential that Airinmar can clearly demonstrate and provide confidence to its customers that the necessary safe guards are in place and practised.

Airinmar has therefore addressed this through adopting and bringing its management systems under the rigorous and explicit information security controls of ISO 27001.

ISO 27001 is the only auditable international standard which defines the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and proportionate security controls.

The standard adopts a process approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving the business' ISMS. Best practice security controls, risk identification/reduction and quality-assurance processes are created, implemented and monitored. These controls and processes which protect the company’s assets and ensure the security, integrity and availability of data include: restricted access to buildings, hardware, software and data; segregation of customer confidential data with additional tier access restrictions; developed software quality control and testing; penetration testing, etc.

Airinmar ISMS was audited by Bureau Veritas and is pleased to annouce that its application for ISO27001 accreditation was approved on 14th February 2011. See the 'Quality' tab for a copy of the certificate.
