atNorth has also extended additional ISO
certifications as part of continual business improvement.
REYKJAVÍK, Iceland,
July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
atNorth, the leading Nordic colocation, high-performance
computing, and artificial intelligence service provider, has
announced that it has achieved ISO45001 accreditation and extended
additional ISO certifications as it strives for continual business
improvement.
The business has received full ISO45001 certification for its
occupational health & safety management system and has extended
its ISO14001 certification for its environmental management system
to its newer data centers. In addition to this, atNorth has also
extended the ISO27001 certification for its information security
management system as part of the procurement of Gompute in
2023, aligning these sites with atNorth's existing ISO
certifications.
ISO45001 is an international standard that specifies
requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S)
management system. It provides a framework for organizations to
manage risks and improve OH&S performance and demonstrates
atNorth's commitment to promoting employee mental and physical
wellbeing and ensuring a solid foundation of safety in the
workplace.
Key criteria of the accreditation include ensuring safe ways of
working by instructing, training, and monitoring knowledge and
competences, the obligation to report incidents, accidents, and
observations on shortcomings, frameworks for comprehensive and
consistent consideration of risks and hazards and empowering open
and honest stakeholder communication to ensure employee safety and
business continuity.
"The success of atNorth's operations is testament to our
commitment to our people. The ISO45001 certification validates our
already resilient health and safety standards to ensure the
wellbeing of our staff and formalizes the veracity of our
processes," commented Erling Freyr Guðmundsson, COO at atNorth.
"Our ongoing commitment to improvement across our business enables
us to continue to deliver the best possible service to our
clients".
ISO 27001 provides companies with guidance for establishing,
implementing and maintaining an information security management
system. Conformity to this standard means that an organization has
a robust system to manage risks related to the security of data
owned or handled by the company. It covers all aspects of
information security including physical or virtual access to sites
and systems, software development, supplier and customer
interactions and incident response processes.
"Data security continues to be a high priority for our clients,"
says Daniel Persson Chief HPC
Officer at atNorth. "We are delighted to extend the scope of our of
ISO27001 accreditation to reassure our customers that our business
conforms to industry leading security standards."
