This certification, awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI), marks a significant milestone in our commitment to safeguarding information assets and ensures that Oak operates on a platform that meets the highest international standards for information security, compliance and governance.

ISO 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management. Keshav Ramrecha (pictured), Group Head of Information Security, the implementation of ISO 27001 for the group said: “Achieving this certification demonstrates how our platform meets the highest global standard for information security, compliance and governance. This certification reflects months of rigorous work reflecting our commitment to information security”.

Reflecting on the achievement, John Doublard, Group Chief Technology Officer, shared: “Achieving ISO 27001 certification was a key deliverable within our Technology strategy. This accomplishment is a clear reflection of our commitment to protecting the integrity and confidentiality of client, employee and third party data. It demonstrates that we meet the highest international standards and that we are continually focused on evolving our systems, processes and culture to stay ahead of security risks”.

The certification process was extensive, involving technology improvements, HR security alignment and organisation-wide awareness training. The audit concluded with zero major or minor non-conformities.

Group CEO and Executive Director, Kim Sgarlata commented “Earning ISO 27001 certification is more than a badge, it’s a strategic investment in trust. For our clients, it reinforces that their data is handled with the highest standards of security and care. Achievements like this don’t come from flashy initiatives; they come from doing the essential, often unseen work that strengthens the foundation of our business.
