Updated standard approval

Connexion2 is the first company to be audited and approved against the updated BS8484:2011 standard. The British Standard for lone worker security provision now includes increased data protection for incident or Red Alert data and customer data. To achieve compliance, all data needs to be stored either in an ISO 27001 approved environment or a BS5979 Cat II Alarm Receiving Centre.

Benefits from the new standard include more stringent and robust processes around the secure storage of data, ensuring greater security for end user companies. BS8484 was originally introduced in 2009 for the purpose of improving the standard of lone worker provision and creating a clear benchmark against which lone worker solutions should be judged.

Connexion2 MD Craig Swallow said: "We are delighted to be the first company to receive the updated BS8484:2011 approval. This shows the company's dedication and commitment to providing a safe and guaranteed police response to all Identicom users."
