AAL Shipping, a global heavy-lift and project cargo carrier, has gained the IS027001 certification, an internationally recognised standard for information security management systems.
“Achieving ISO 27001 alongside our existing ISO certifications underscores our holistic approach to operational excellence,” said Mohammad Fadzil, QHSE Manager, AAL Shipping. “As a heavy‑lift carrier, our customers trust us not only with valuable and complex cargoes, but also with critical project information. This certification demonstrates that information security is embedded into our processes.”
AAL shipping also commented that gaining ISO 27001 ensures the protection of operational data, project details and digital information exchanges is managed with rigour.
According to the International Organization for Standardization, over 70,000 certificates were reported in 150 countries and from all economic sectors, ranging from agriculture through manufacturing to social services. The ISO argues that implementing ISO 27001 helps reduce vulnerability to cyber-attacks, to respond to evolving security risks and ensures that various information-assets (e.g. intellectual property) remains undamaged and confidential.
