Next Generation Data (NGD) has been certified by BSI (British Standards Institution) to a new standard of excellence in data protection, privacy and security.

 

Developed in accordance with EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), BS 10012: 2017 certification reaffirms NGD’s compliance and ongoing commitment to safeguarding the data of a wide and diverse range of customers, including major banks, retailers, government departments, IT service and cloud providers.

 

BS 10012: 2017 is a best practice framework for setting up a Personal Information Management System (PIMS) which facilitates compliance with data protection legislation. In achieving this latest certification, NGD underwent an independent assessment including a thorough on-site audit covering all the requirements of BS 10012.  

 

Commented Justin Jenkins, NGD’s Managing Director: “As a leading data centre services provider and home to global cloud hosting organisations, NGD is duty-bound to ensure the highest standards of data protection, privacy and security. The recent introduction of stringent GDPR legislation has made this an even more critical requirement.”
