Intermedia Cloud Communications has announced that its cloud communications platform has received International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 certification for information security best practices.

Conducted by an independent third-party auditor, ISO 27001 certification is a widely recognized, international standard that specifies security management best practices and comprehensive security controls. Receiving this certification validates that Intermedia's security program meets a very stringent set of requirements as outlined by an information security management system (ISMS), which consists of the policies, procedures, resources and activities managed by an organization to protect its information assets.

"When you're in the business of communications, a company's ability to safeguard conversations, protect valuable data and maintain users' trust is paramount," said Ryan Barrett, senior vice president of security, privacy and corporate IT, Intermedia. "This certification further reflects Intermedia's commitment to superior levels of safety and security. ISO 27001 certification for information security and privacy best practices is another important way we honor that commitment to our global base of partners and users."
