Brownstein currently holds ISO 27001:2022 certification, the most widely adopted international standard for information security. This certification was achieved in early 2019 and covers information security throughout the firm and data centers.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized security standard that specifies and verifies the establishment and maturity of an organization’s Information Security Management System (ISMS). These rigorous standards documented in the firm's ISMS document exist to ensure that formal security and risk management controls are in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive company, client and personal information. Risk assessment, policy and process implementation, and both internal and independent audits are all part of the required work. The detailed certification process requires annual audits to ensure that the firm is utilizing and continuously improving best practices and procedures to secure its client and employee sensitive data and to keep pace with the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape.
