Does your IT Provider care about their service quality and the security of your data to take accountability with ISO accreditation?
Regulatory requirements are often viewed as pointless bureaucracy – such as in Scott Adams’ Dilbert cartoons – and becoming certified does require dedicated time, effort, resources and accountability.
But like so much else, investing now reaps rewards for the business, clients and suppliers in the future.
IT Genie are committing to delivering quality service expanding our existing Quality Management, adding Environmental Management and Information Security Management certification.
All these standards create continuous improvements across the board, delivering better quality services.
Quality Management - ISO 9001
ISO 9001 is the world’s most recognised Quality Management System (QMS) standard; It is often adorning company signs, vehicles, and business cards.
By successfully implementing a QMS, IT Genie are showing our dedication to consistently provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements; Through a documented method of working, and continuous monitoring of any non-conformances, we look to constantly improve the quality of our service.
Our Benefits of ISO 9001:
- Increased efficiency– Optimise documented processes and minimise non-conformances to reduce waste.
- Better stakeholder relationships– Customers and suppliers have greater confidence, knowing processes are documented with a feedback system in place to rectify issues.
- Continuous improvement– Using non-conformity reporting and trend analysis, you can spot areas for improvement and maintain competitive position. Obtain and retain more business.
Your Benefits of ISO 9001:
- Assurance of service– Provides reassurance that customers will receive consistent, reliable and fit for purpose solutions.
- Improved quality of service– Any issues identified are resolved quicker, and often without the customer even being aware.
- Improved experience– Improving the relationship will create a better customer experience and increase the chances of the customer returning again in future.
Environmental Management - ISO 14001
Business looking to optimise resource usage and minimise waste, can demonstrate their commitment to protecting the environment, complying with environmental regulations, and building trust with customers and other stakeholders, through ISO 14001 certification.
IT Genie chose to include ISO 14001 to demonstrate our commitment to an Environmental Management System (EMS), setting goals to increase resource efficiency and ensure any waste is dealt with responsibly, through our waste management and WEEE policies.
Our Benefits of ISO 14001:

Your Benefits of ISO 14001:
- Alignment with ethical choices– Customers are increasingly placing environmental concerns high on their requirements, ISO 14001 certification acts as a seal of approval of such.
- Better value – Purchasing from a company who have removed waste with an efficient EMS, can offer better value services and improved quality over the competition.
- Assurance of service– Certification acts as proof that your organisation complies with applicable environmental legislation.
Information Security Management - ISO 27001
Data and Information Security is said to be the new “Digital Gold”, and ISO 27001 provides the framework for an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). It sets out the policies and procedures needed to protect organisations and includes all the risk controls (legal, physical and technical) necessary for robust security management.
IT Genie recognise that Information Security is absolutely paramount for our customers, suppliers, and across all areas of our business, whether online or offline – and implementing ISO 27001 provides a tried and tested structure of policies to build our ISMS around.
Our Benefits of ISO 27001:
- Protects the company, assets, and stakeholders– Identify, control and manage risks to the security and confidentiality of all company and stakeholder information held or in-transit.
- Regulatory compliance– Ensure you are meeting your legal obligations, such as GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPPA, SoX etc.
