Fleet management and contract hire provider Inchcape Fleet Solutions, which manages a fleet of more than 46,000 vehicles, has been awarded the ISO/IEC 27001 security certification.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised specification that supports businesses and organisations throughout the world to develop a ‘best-in-class’ Information Security Management System (ISMS).

The certification verifies that Inchcape Fleet Solutions’ infrastructure and practices meet the International Organisation of Standardisation's (ISO) stringent criteria for security capabilities and endorses its commitment to deliver managed and monitored security solutions based on the highest International standards.

Gary Woodcock, finance and business intelligence director at Inchcape Fleet Solutions, said: “All of our clients and Government customers in particular will welcome this certification as it saves them time and effort in auditing us. Focus can then be placed on core activities and other fleet related strategies.”
