As part of aql's ongoing commitment to Security, we are pleased to announce that aql has gained ISO 27001 accreditation. The ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems, which is obtained following a robust audit of all Information Security policies, procedures and working practices.

Melissa Hendry, Operations Director of aql commented: "Security is and always has been at the heart of aql. We have invested heavily in both our infrastructure and staff over the past year and done so always with security at the forefront. Gaining an ISO 27001 accreditation effectively demonstrates our on-going commitment to information security and we are delighted to receive our accreditation."

To complement ISO 27001, aql will be looking to achieve ISO 9001, the International standard for Quality Management Systems in early 2012.
