ISO 27001: Why it matters for your business (and why Lantech chose to lead)

Choosing an IT partner is ultimately about trust. You’re handing over the keys to your business systems, your data, and in many ways your reputation. That’s why ISO 27001 certification isn’t just another technical badge it’s a signal of who you can trust to keep your business safe, productive, and compliant.

At Lantech, ISO 27001 certification is part of how we operate every day.

It’s not about a certificate on the wall. It’s about giving you peace of mind, reducing risks, and ensuring your business isn’t derailed by avoidable IT failures or security gaps.

What ISO 27001 really means

ISO 27001 is recognised globally as the gold standard for managing information security. It proves through independent, external audits that we don’t just talk about security, we live it every day.

It’s not a document sitting in a drawer. It’s a company-wide framework that covers how we:

• Proactively manage cyber risks
• Handle sensitive client data responsibly
• Train our team to detect and stop threats
• Plan for worst-case scenarios so downtime is minimised
• Continuously monitor, test, and improve

Why this should matter to you

Many providers will tell you they “take security seriously”. But without ISO 27001, there’s no independent verification of what that really means. With certification, you know there’s a tested structure behind the words.

Here’s what that translates into for your business:

1. Reduced risk of costly incidents
   Certified MSPs have proven controls in place, lowering the chance of breaches, downtime, or compliance fines.
2. Ongoing discipline
   ISO isn’t a one-off award. Regular audits mean our processes stay sharp and evolve with new threats.
3. Easier compliance
   If you operate in regulated industries like finance, legal, or healthcare, working with a certified MSP helps you tick critical compliance boxes.
4. Trust that’s earned, not claimed
   ISO 27001 shows stakeholders, clients, and even insurers that your IT partner has been independently verified as trustworthy.

The Risk of settling for less

Imagine handing over your IT to someone who simply says, “Trust me, I’ve done this before.” No audits. No accountability. No proof.

Would you work with a lawyer who isn’t regulated? Or an accountant who never submits to an audit? Your IT partner should face the same scrutiny, because when IT goes wrong, the fallout is fast and unforgiving.

What this means for Lantech clients

For our clients, ISO 27001 isn’t a logo at the bottom of our website. It’s a daily commitment that protects you from the three shared enemies every modern business face:

• Productivity loss through unexpected downtime
• Cybersecurity incidents that damage trust and reputation
• Falling behind the cloud curve due to outdated practices

It’s one more way we help leaders like you sleep easier at night.

Trust, but verify

Every MSP will say security is a priority. ISO 27001 lets you separate those who mean it from those who don’t.

If your current IT partner isn’t certified, ask them why not. And if you’re reviewing your options, we’d love to show you what ISO 27001 means in practice for your business, especially if compliance and resilience are high on your agenda.
