Firmstep’s software solutions are now available on CloudStore, the recently launched online appstore of the Government’s G-Cloud framework for cloud-based ICT services. CloudStore offers the public sector a cheaper, quicker and more transparent way to procure the services they need. Firmstep entered into a rigorous tender process, in order to have its solutions selected for the CloudStore’s Software as a Service (SaaS) category, which included compliance to ISO27001.
Brett Husbands, CEO of Firmstep, said: “When we were awarded the contract for the Government’s G-Cloud online store for local councils and government institutions, we chose ISO27001 compliance market leaders, IT Governance Ltd, because of their impressive track record of 120+ certifications. With Google Apps for Business recently announcing that they have gained ISO27001 certification, we feel that our enterprise is in prestigious company by adopting the ISO27001 Standard and believe that this will help to secure orders”.
