As a Central Government S-CAT supplier since 2002 this latest accomplishment follows a highly successful drive towards closer integration with the public sector

Specialist IT recruitment company, The Nesco Group has successfully completed the transition from the BS7799-2:2002 standard to BS ISO/IEC 27001:2005, the International standard for Information Security Management Systems; an exceptional achievement demonstrating the companyís commitment to the highest standards of information security controls.

As a Central Government S-CAT supplier since 2002 this latest accomplishment follows a highly successful drive towards closer integration with the public sector.

A significant supplier of services to both public and private sector companies, the Nesco Group identifies the Security Standard as a key differentiator, reaffirming its commitment to data security and providing its customers with the confidence to know that industry best practice is being adhered to. Nesco was one of the first recruitment companies in the UK to achieve the previous BS7799-2:2002 status in 2004.

Tina Holt, operations director at NESCO said: This accreditation is an excellent way for the people we work with to see our appreciation of the importance of data security throughout all aspects of the supply chain. It will certainly help with the ongoing generation of new business as well as strengthening our relationships with existing clients.î

The NESCO Group’s core business remains focused on the supply of pre-vetted IT consultants as well as the delivery of a wide range of accredited training programmes including ITIL, APMP, Prince 2 and MSP through its sister company, Aim Academy. As a key division within NES - the international recruitment company - the NESCO Group’s actions signify the strategic direction the company is pursuing in its ongoing operations through best practice business.
