Data security, privacy and quality have been built in from the very start of My Occ Health Record (MOHR) – safely storing employee health data is in our DNA. Being ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified has significant benefits, not only for our clients but also for the sustainability of our organisation. Let’s explore what these certifications entail and how they benefit us and our clients.
The benefits of ISO 27001 Certification
MOHR is ISO 27001 certified. ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their information security practices.
For clients, engaging with an ISO 27001-certified organisation like MOHR offers the following advantages:
- Enhanced data security: ISO 27001 certification ensures that we implement robust security controls to protect sensitive information and client data. This helps in mitigating the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access.
- Trust and credibility: ISO 27001 certification demonstrate our commitment to maintaining high standards of information security. It reassures clients that their data will be handled securely and in accordance with best practices.
- Legal and regulatory compliance: By complying with ISO 27001, we align our information security practices with legal and regulatory requirements in Australia, such as the Privacy Act 1988. This compliance helps clients ensure that their data is handled in accordance with applicable laws.
- Reduced risk: ISO 27001 certification involves risk assessment and management processes, which enables us to identify and mitigate potential threats to information security. Clients benefit from the reduced risk of security incidents and associated disruptions.
Our cloud-based solution is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is among the Gold Standard providers in the cloud computing space. AWS provides significant security at all levels of the cloud, including data encryption both at rest and in transit (a fancy phrase that means that we use encryption even when we are sending data from the app to the cloud, and then once in the cloud, it is encrypted again).
The benefits of ISO 9001 Certification
MOHR is also ISO 9001 certified. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management systems (QMS). It sets out criteria for organisations to establish processes that consistently deliver products or services that meet customer requirements. ISO 9001 certification indicates that an organisation has met these requirements and has implemented effective quality management practices.
Clients can derive several advantages from engaging with MOHR as an ISO 9001-certified organisation:
- Consistent quality: ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our commitment to delivering products or services of consistent quality. Clients can expect reliable and predictable outcomes, reducing the likelihood of defects or issues.
- Customer focus: ISO 9001 requires us to have a client-focused approach, emphasising the understanding of client needs and expectations. Clients can benefit from a greater emphasis on customer satisfaction and improved responsiveness to their requirements.
- Continuous improvement: ISO 9001 promotes a culture of continuous improvement within MOHR. By holding this certification, we commit to monitoring, measuring, and enhancing our processes over time. This focus on improvement translates to better outcomes for clients.
- Supply chain confidence: ISO 9001 certification provides assurance to our clients that we have implemented effective quality management practices across our supply chain. This reduces the risk of disruptions and non-compliance from suppliers.
MOHR is audited against these standards every year giving our clients the assurance and confidence that we are a best-practice organisation, and our quality management systems are robust.
