The overall benefit of adhering to this standard is ensuring the commitment of ADAC management towards evolving business needs and the continuous improvement of the system. This standard provides a benchmark comparison with best practices and creates competitive advantage through the promotion of consistent and costeffective services.
ISO27001, the second certificate achieved by ADAC, is an internationally recognised standard dedicated to Information Security Management.
