United Guaranty Corp., a company of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), has earned ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a globally recognized standard for managing information security risk.
This certification demonstrates the company's commitment to the highest standards for information security management.
United Guaranty achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification following an in-depth assessment by the independent certification body, British Standards Institution (BSI), which included extensive on-site reviews and audits.
“What sets United Guaranty apart is the certainty we provide our customers by subjecting our information security program to the rigorous and comprehensive third-party review required for ISO/IEC 27001 certification,” said Joe Weider, chief business officer and chief information officer, United Guaranty. “To our customers, ISO/IEC 27001 certification means United Guaranty is among a set of leading-edge companies worldwide that demonstrate information security is a priority, adhere to best practices, and continually improve to meet emerging risks,” Weider said.
United Guaranty earned IS Certificate Number 632667, which is valid for three years. United Guaranty will undergo post-certification reviews and recertification audits over the next three years to ensure the company remains aligned to best practices while continuing to adapt to meet the latest security risks.
BSI audited United Guaranty’s operations to determine the company has identified security risks and put controls in place to reduce or effectively manage those risks—including the protection of confidential data.
