Swords Credit Union leads the way in protecting members Information

Swords Credit Union became the first financial institution in Dublin and only the second in Ireland to achieve the prestigious ISO 27001 certification – Information Security Management Systems.

This means that Swords Credit Union has identified, managed and minimised a range of threats and also provides a constructive risk management process, thereby ensuring a secure information infrastructure is in place. This standard shows that Swords Credit Union has taken preventative measures to protect its member’s confidential information. The standard ensures that the organisation has measures in place to keep confidential information secure.

 We are all extremely proud of this award and are thrilled to lead the way in technology and security in the same way we do in so many other areas. This is down to a lot of hard work by our project team and the support of our Board of Directors. In an era when stories of lost data seem increasingly regular, the standards at Swords & District Credit Union now stand peerless among financial institutions in Ireland, and this award should reassure all our members that their information is totally safe.

 By achieving ISO 27001, Swords & District Credit Union can demonstrate to independent third party verification that their Information Security Management System meets an internationally recognised standard.  This provides Swords & District Credit Union its staff, suppliers and most importantly its members with the confidence that they are managing their security in accordance with recognised and audited best practices.
