The Maples Group has retained its ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701:2019 certifications, maintaining internationally recognised standards for information security management and privacy information management.
The certifications cover the group’s security and privacy controls, including its proprietary eServices and Phoenix platforms.
The platforms provide web-based portals through which clients can access and manage information relating to their global entities.
The renewals follow an independent audit process that assesses whether an organisation’s systems and controls are operating effectively and align with the requirements of the standards.
Certification is granted through an accredited body and is intended to provide clients with assurance that an organisation’s information security and privacy practices meet international benchmarks.
The certifications come as companies face growing scrutiny over how they manage and protect client data, particularly as the use of artificial intelligence and digital services continues to expand.
Robert Eryou, chief information security officer at the Maples Group, said the certifications reflect the firm’s approach to data security and privacy.
“Renewing our ISO 27001 security and ISO 27701 privacy certifications for 2026 is more than a point-in-time compliance milestone,” Eryou said in a press release on 15 June.
“It is a clear signal of how seriously we take data security and privacy in an increasingly complex and accelerated threat environment.
“In the age of AI, where data is both a strategic asset and a heightened point of risk, robust governance, disciplined controls and human judgment matter more than ever,” he said.
Cyber and privacy risks are becoming increasingly complex, interconnected and fast-changing, requiring the company to continually adapt its approach.
Eryou noted that the certifications underscore the capabilities of its workforce, the effectiveness of its proprietary platforms, and its commitment to embedding security and privacy considerations into the design of its operations and services.
“Ultimately, they reinforce our commitment to protecting our clients’ data, enabling innovation responsibly and sustaining the trust that underpins everything we do.”
The eServices and Phoenix platforms form part of the scope covered by the certifications and are used by clients to manage entity information through secure online portals.
Rupa Pattni, group data protection officer, said the certifications also reflect the organisation’s approach to privacy management and accountability.
“An emphasis on trust and accountability extends across the Group’s privacy leadership. Privacy ultimately is about respect for people and the data they entrust to us,” Pattni said.
“These certifications reflect a strong culture of accountability across the firm and a shared commitment to doing the right thing, even as technologies and risks rapidly evolve.”
