The Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) was certified to International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27001 - Information Security Management following a pilot program with BSI Management Systems in China.
According to BSI, it is now the first company in the industry of stocks and securities to have in place a management system for information security.
This certification was sought and achieved in line with the People's Republic of China's principles of information and technology protection, BSI said.
BSI Management Systems was selected from 10 companies that bid to work with SZSE, which is one of the two largest stock exchanges in mainland China.
SZSE set three goals for the pilot program it ran with BSI:
- Complete the trial project successfully.
- Learn how to establish an information security management system.
- Improve SZSE's management of information security across the board.
The long-term goal is to establish the best possible information security management system within the next two years, BSI said.
"During the implementation of this project, BSI has left a deep impression on us by demonstrating their solid technical and working experiences, their constant pursuit for perfection, their professional attitude and their customer-oriented services," Deng Hui, project manager of systems operations department, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, said.
"We hope that BSI can continue to provide their support and that the original team members will continue to support SZSE's audit."
