Sponda granted widely recognised ISO certification on information security

In March 2021, Sponda, Finland’s leading commercial real estate asset management company, was awarded the widely recognised ISO/IEC 27001 international standard for information security that sets out the requirements for an Information Security Management System (“ISMS”). The certificate was granted by the certification organisation Kiwa Inspecta, responsible for auditing operations in Finland.

 Timo Pantsari, Chief Technology Officer, Sponda: “Sponda’s ISO certification reflects our commitment to the highest standards of information security management across the firm and ensures we are a reliable and trusted partner for all of our clients and stakeholders.”

Jyrki Lahnalahti, Business Manager, Kiwa Inspecta: “The prestigious and widely acknowledged ISO/IEC 27001 certificate granted to Sponda shows that the company has put a significant amount of work and determination into building and employing the processes and practices that help secure all information owned and controlled by Sponda. As a real estate asset management company, Sponda exemplifies the fact that digital safety is relevant not only to organisational data management or the IT sector, and that a management model for information security should encompass all operations. This, in turn, reflects a strong commitment and willingness to enhance this aspect of security that is crucial for us all. We are happy to welcome Sponda as a newly ISO/IEC 27001 certified organisation.” Lahnalahti acted as Lead Auditor for Sponda’s certification.

The certificate covers all of Sponda’s activities in Finland with the exception of MOW Coworking spaces. The offices audited as part of the certification process are located in Helsinki and Tampere.
