Reliable, trustworthy and full of integrity

"It was impressive how quickly UNICEPTA successfully completed the certificationprocess," remarked Hartmut Müller-Gerbes, Head of Corporate Media Relations atTÜV Rheinland, when handing over the certificate on September 8 at UNICEPTA'sheadquarters in Cologne. It took just six months, instead of the usual six to 12months, said Lead Auditor Ralph Freude, Head of Businessline InformationTechnology at TÜV Rheinland.

"By obtaining ISO 27001 certification, UNICEPTA is the only German company inthe media monitoring and analysis industry that has fulfilled these high standards,"commented Georg Stahl. Many companies now require their service providers tohave this certification, he noted. At a time when there is an increasing number ofspying and data-theft scandals coming to light, UNICEPTA has very intentionallyraised the level of security for both customers and employees, he added.

However, this does not mean that the optimization process is over. UNICEPTA willnow be assessed once a year by TÜV. "The basic idea of the standard and theUNICEPTA mindset go hand in hand," said Sebastian Rohwer, Member of theManagement Board: Certification is not the end but the start of a process ofconstant improvement.
