Knowledge and awareness
At ISPnext, the security of your data and systems is paramount. We aim for everyone in our organisation to have the same high standards to protect your information. Below you can read how we achieve this:
- New employees
From the start, we inform new ISPnext employees about our commitment to security and privacy. We do this through a presentation during induction training. In addition, it is mandatory to complete an information security training course. This forms an essential part of our security plan. - Phishing tests
To train our employees to recognise and report phishing emails, we regularly send test phishing emails. These test emails contain valuable tips on recognising phishing and the right way to report it. We offer various training courses where employees learn more about the different types of cyber threats and how to recognise them. - External expertise and testing
ISPnext engages reputable external IT security specialists to optimise our processes. Both our infrastructure and the software developed by ISPnext are periodically scanned for vulnerabilities. Security tests on our software are an integral part of our ISPnext Security Framework. These tests are performed annually to identify technical vulnerabilities, which is an important part of our ISAE 3402 Type II assurance reporting. - Collaboration is essential
By paying continuous attention to security and privacy, and by involving our employees in this process, we at ISPnext create a secure working environment for everyone. We believe that this shared responsibility is the best basis for protecting your data.
