Insight Investment has become the first investment management company in the UK to be awarded certification to the “gold standard” in Information Security ISO/IEC27001. Certification of businesses is optional but is increasingly being recommended by the Information Commissioner’s Office and Financial Services Authority as evidence of a high level of corporate risk management.

Insight’s Information Security Management System has been certificated for the following areas:

Business Continuity Management

HR Security

Communications and Operations Management

Security Policy & Organisation of Information Security

Access Control

Information Systems Acquisition, Development & Maintenance

Information Security Incident Management & Compliance

Physical & Environmental Security

Asset Management

Work on acquiring this certification has been ongoing for the past two years. Certification lasts for three years, with independent assessments by the British Standards Institute every six months to ensure that standards are maintained.

Insight Investment is a shareholder of Valletta Fund Management Ltd and Insight Investment Management (Malta) Ltd is the sub-investment manager of Valletta Fund Management’s range of investment funds.
