How we helped them
The brief
Lex Medicus is committed to developing the highest quality business practices. These practices ensure that an optimum working environment is available to staff and the best possible service is provided to clients. As part of this commitment, Lex Medicus decided to develop an integrated management system certified to three of the world’s leading management system standards:
- ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
- AZ/NZS 48001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management)
- ISO 27001 (Information Security Management)
The solution
Blueprint was engaged to help Lex Medicus implement the ISO 27001 component of the integrated management system. This component was particularly relevant because Lex Medicus stores and processes sensitive client medical and legal information. Ensuring the security of this information is vital to the business. The ISMS was developed at the same time as the OHS and quality management systems to ensure a cohesive and truly integrated management system.
Lex Medicus is a dynamic company with a very energetic management team. Blueprint was asked to develop the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) in a very short time frame. We jumped at the challenge. It took just two months from the initial workshop to the certification audit. The auditor commented that it was the fastest turnaround he had ever seen and that the management systems had advanced the business in “quantum leaps”.
The implementation of the ISMS, and its certification to ISO 27001, will provide assurance to clients that Lex Medicus is dedicated to the secure handling and storage of information and has implemented a well-managed, international best practice management system to achieve this goal.
We have been very impressed with the way Blueprint was able to quickly pick up the key aspects of our business and develop our suite of ISO Information Security Management documents in such a short period of time.
The consultants were genuinely interested in our business, supportive, kind and professional at every step of the way. Blueprint went above and beyond in also reviewing our Quality and OHS documentation to ensure a cohesive, integrated management system with high attention to detail whilst ensuring that what we implemented was relevant to our organisation and our objectives.
Our Director, management team and staff have been very satisfied with the work to date. The workshops and internal training not only empowered our staff about their responsibilities, but also how to properly use and protect information. As a result we were able to further improve our business practices, policies and streamline security across our business.
We highly recommend Blueprint as an informational security consultancy to implement information security strategies tailored to your business and achieve ISO 27001 accreditation in a timely manner. We thank you for your hard work over the past few months and we look forward to our ongoing working relationship.
