Testimonial:
“Thank you to the whole PrimoConnect team!

 The initial process for F3Group attaining ISO 27001:2013 certification has worked brilliantly with PrimoConnect throughout.  From the initial meeting with Paul and Chris, through the consultancy period to the audits, certification and subsequent debrief.  It has been a pleasure working with PrimoConnect.  The experience in attaining ISO 27001:2013 with PrimoConnect’s compliance guidance support has led to discussions about other areas that F3Group are looking forward to working with PrimoConnect on in the very near future.

The PrimoConnect ISO Management System portal was a major positive and differentiator for F3Group which we really liked instead of lots of paperwork and the time associated from our staff during auditing, as has always been the case previously for our other ISO standards that F3Group also currently hold.  The PrimoConnect toolbox software portal solution is an absolute must for managing ISO standards and allowing the business to continue working optimally during certification and getting the most from the ISO standards in-life!”
Adam Halsey, IT Manager, F3Group

“It’s a very successful partnership, easy to deal with, professional, efficient and most importantly great customer service, nothing is too much trouble”
Suzanne Pierce, Support Director, F3Group

Project Comments:
“It was a pleasure to work with the F3Group. The main challenge was to produce a management system that clearly documented how the company complies to ISO 27001. The solution was to use the PrimoConnect checklist and scenario analysis risk methodology, which ensured that all 114 clauses of the ISO 27001 Annex A controls list were addressed. This really helped to identify opportunities for improvement in all business areas and to develop an effective treatment plan.”
Chris Penny, CEO, PrimoConnect

Take Away Points:
A Management System must be reflective of the business processes and not based on templates and generic documentation.
