• Raise standards where they need to be raised

• Help purchasers differentiate OH providers that attain the desired standards from those that do not

ISO 22301 Continuity Management

ISO 22301 is the International Standard for Business Continuity Management.

The accreditation helps PAM to effectively decrease the possibility of disruptive incidents, and on such incidents occurring, ensures we are ready to respond in an appropriate way. This drastically decreases the potential damage of such events and ensures our service delivery will not be significantly impacted.

​​ISO 27001 Information Security Management

Occupational health deals with large amounts of personal and medical information. Given our embrace of systems we therefore recognise the need to provide confidence to our clients that our systems are secure and support our operations.

 

​ISO 27001 is the International Standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It allows both us and our clients to take confidence in the information security measures that we employ. This includes the continued accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of our own information and that of our clients as well as legal compliance.
