“Choosing SGS to perform our ISO/IEC 27001 audit was an important decision in our robust digital transformation strategy to further enhance information security, resiliency and business continuity,” said Mike Petosa, VP of IT at the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
With ransomware attacks rising more than 50 percent in 2021 and signs of even greater cyber risk on the horizon, effective, enterprise-wide cybersecurity must be a priority for every organisation.
Demonstrating its strong commitment to information security management and cyber risk prevention, ANSI has been successfully certified to ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems, ISMS) after naming SGS to perform the audit.
SGS working determinedly to exceed expectations
“ANSI could have chosen anyone and we worked determinedly to exceed their expectations, highlighting our innovative people and services,” said Jeffrey McDonald, EVP of Knowledge Solutions at SGS.
“We thank ANSI for placing their faith in us and we were delighted to perform the audit before presenting their certificate.”
ANSI rated SGS’s customer service as “Very Satisfied” across the board, from response time, professionalism and communication to organisation, punctuality and technical knowledge.
An intensive process
ANSI’s customers can be assured that the commitment to information security is true and tested
“Certification to ISO/IEC 27001 was an intensive process for a reason – because it’s the gold standard in information security protection,” said S. Joe Bhatia, ANSI President and CEO.
“ANSI’s members, partners and customers can be assured that our commitment to information security is true and tested.”
“With this certification in place, ANSI is working to future-proof our business against ever-increasing security threats while increasing our ability to grow and prosper in the rapidly changing business environment.”
Mr McDonald added: “We are recognised as the global benchmark for quality and integrity and this work highlights our professional approach, high standards and global information security credentials.”
Why ISO/IEC 27001 certification?

It also includes requirements for assessing and treating information security risks, tailored to the organisation.
