07.01.2010 14:55 Ebix CRM Receives ISO 27001 Certification Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX), a leading international developer and supplier of software and e-commerce solutions to the insurance industry, today announced that its Ebix CRM Division (formerly known as E-Z Data, Inc.), a leading provider of front-office systems for insurance companies, general agents, banks, investment dealers, agents, and financial advisors, has completed the external periodic audit for ISO 27001 certification successfully. ISO, the International Standards Organization, creates standards that specify worldwide requirements for products, services, processes, materials and systems. ISO 27001 is the new international standard created specifically for Information Security Management Systems. "Penn Mutual is pleased to be partnering with an organization that takes information security and risk management as seriously as Ebix does," said Mark Wutt, Senior Vice President of Sales Support, Penn Mutual. "It is assuring to know that the facility where we host our agent and client data meets the rigorous information security standards and policies required for ISO 27001 certification, and that the information of our producers and their clients is protected. We are assured by the security of our data at Ebix." ISO 27001 certification gives enterprises seeking hosted systems a method through which they can effectively compare each provider's ability to ensure data security and business continuity. Ebix CRM's clients, the majority of whom are financial institutions such as Insurance carriers, Broker-Dealers, Banks, Credit Unions and Brokerage General Agencies require ongoing assurance that their hosted data is not at risk in order to help comply with various regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act), HIPPA, PIPEDA etc., ISO 27001 is a step toward effecting and demonstrating compliance with these legislations. "Ebix CRM Division has always taken great pride in our system security, but the third-party validation of this fact by a trusted organization is vital as our customers, from large financial services enterprises to individual financial advisors, seek to identify vendors that can deliver a truly secure system," said Dale Okuno, Senior Vice President, Ebix CRM Division. "Our ISO 27001 certification further ensures our prospects and our current clients that their data is indeed secure on Ebix CRM systems." The first Ebix CRM ISO 27001 certification audit included the company's collocation hosting facilities in US and Canada, Hosting Services Group, Database Group, Network Operations Center, MIS, Conversion Services Group, Technical Support, Human Resources, and Administration and Legal department, and resulted in Ebix CRM's official certification on November 6, 2007. Since then Ebix CRM has passed two annual periodic audits successfully. Contacts: Ebix, Inc. Steve Horneman, 404-839-1988 steve.horneman@ebix.com © 2010 Business Wire |
