Quality and Excellence at QX: Achieving 100% Compliance with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701

At QX, quality and excellence are at the core of everything we do. Our commitment to these values is reflected in our people, processes, and platform, and we are proud to deliver world-class, secure outsourcing services to our clients.

Data protection is a crucial aspect of our business. Over the past 19 years, we have continuously improved our data protection framework and built a robust system to ensure information confidentiality, integrity, and availability. To ensure our compliance with industry standards, we undergo annual audits by BSI, a world-class industry expert.

Today, we are pleased to announce that we’ve achieved a perfect 100% score on our recent audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and fully complied with both 27001 (Infosec) and ISO 27701 (Privacy/GDPR). BSI has been certifying QX for compliance with international standards since 2010.

What are ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards?

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management. It outlines the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS) and helps organisations maintain a secure and controlled environment for processing, storing, and transferring sensitive information.

ISO 27701 is a standard for privacy information management. It is an extension of ISO 27001 and covers privacy-specific requirements, including the management of personal data and compliance with global privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

What is a BSI Audit?

It’s an annual assessment that we go through to maintain our ISO certifications. The audit looks at the compliance with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 requirements and lasts for about a week. During the audit, BSI auditors checked parameters such as compliance evidences, process efficiency, and involvement of our senior management and employees to ensure we were up to par. The audit covers all our business units (QX Finance & Accounting, QX Recruitment, & QX Accounting Services) and business support functions in India.

100% Compliance with ISO Standards:

With a well-maintained management system, the BSI auditors didn’t find any major or minor issues. We met 100% of the compliance requirements. A perfect score for both ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, achieved for three consecutive years, demonstrates our commitment to data protection and our culture of compliance. These compliance certificates cover all our business services – QXAS, QXFA, QXRS – and the support functions that enable these services.

Credit to the Data Protection Team:

Major credit for our 100% compliance score goes to the data protection team, headed by our Data Protection Officer (DPO) Amit Simon, and team members Navdeep Kaur and Nilakshi Deolekar. Their hard work and dedication have helped us maintain a secure and controlled environment for processing, storing, and transferring sensitive information, ensuring that our customers’ data is always protected.

Guaranteed Security at every stage

When outsourcing sensitive information, choosing the right partner is crucial. At QX Global Group, we understand this better than anyone and have made it our mission to provide the best possible security for our clients. Our unwavering commitment to data protection makes us one of the best in the business, and we’re proud to offer you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your information is secure.
