Celebrate Safer Internet Day with Podfather: Your Trusted ISO 27001 Certified Partner

Today, February 11, 2025, marks Safer Internet Day, a global initiative dedicated to promoting a safer and better internet for everyone. Since its inception in 2004, this movement has expanded its reach to nearly 190 countries and territories worldwide, advocating for secure and responsible online practices.

At Podfather, we take online safety and information security seriously. As an ISO 27001 certified company, we adhere to internationally recognised best practices for establishing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This certification demonstrates that we have robust processes and procedures in place to safeguard sensitive information and provide our customers with the highest standards of data protection.

What Does ISO 27001 Mean for You?

ISO 27001 is the gold standard for information security, ensuring that organisations like ours manage and protect data effectively. For our clients, this means:

• Confidence in our ability to safeguard sensitive information.
• Assurance that we meet stringent security requirements.
• Peace of mind knowing that their data is handled responsibly and securely.

At Podfather, security is not just a compliance requirement - it's embedded in our culture. Here’s how we make information security a top priority every day:

Ongoing Training for a Secure Workforce

We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. Our dedicated Information Security team ensures that all employees are equipped with the latest knowledge and tools to stay vigilant against online threats. Here’s how:

• Interactive Training Modules: Engaging and fun modules help employees understand even the most complex security protocols.
• Regular Knowledge Quizzes: Frequent assessments ensure our team stays sharp and informed about evolving threats.

Phishing Simulations: Staying One Step Ahead

Phishing attacks remain one of the most common cybersecurity threats. To combat this, we conduct realistic phishing simulations to:

• Test our team’s ability to identify suspicious emails and links.
• Provide hands-on learning opportunities to recognise and respond to threats.
• Continuously improve our defences with feedback and training based on test results.

Our ISMS tools help us track, block, and analyse phishing attempts, ensuring our business remains secure.

Building a Security-First Culture

At Podfather, we don’t treat information security as a one-time task. Instead, it’s a dynamic, ongoing effort supported by:

• A strong commitment to keeping security practices current and effective.
• Resources that make training accessible, engaging, and easy to understand.
• A culture where every team member contributes to maintaining a secure environment.
