Recognizing the critical need for comprehensive information and privacy security measures, Novation has taken a proactive approach to ensure the utmost protection of client information and privacy data, and maintain a competitive edge in the market.

Mr. SIN Wai Kin, General Manager of Novation stated, "Our ISO 9001, FSC, ISO 30301, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificates, including the recent ISO/IEC 27701:2019, are all certified by SGS. We greatly appreciate SGS's professionalism, and the valuable insights provided during the audit process. We chose SGS because of our good experience with SGS when we were doing other standards in the past. Obtaining certification is not a trivial decision, as it signifies only the beginning of the continuous improvement process within the company. We are grateful for SGS's audit reports, which inspire us and facilitate self-reflection, enabling us to make internal improvements through the certification process. Looking beyond the challenges posed by COVID, we anticipate numerous new projects in the future that will require additional certifications. We are delighted and eagerly look forward to our continued cooperation with SGS."

Mr. SIN also shared more ideas on the necessity and benefits of obtaining ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019. “We achieved the certificate of ISO/IEC 27001 since Year 2008. Our aim is to build trust with our clients and stakeholders. Given to the services we provide to our clients involve sensitive and confidential information, managing the privacy of personal information becomes one of key factors. By applying the certificate of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019, we wish to present our practice that is able to meet information and data privacy security compliance and regulation, not only our clients would be more likely to visualize if our practice is able to meet the requirement but also able to present our staffs are fully aware of this principle from company-wide scale, in which also promote a positive morale as a whole. Previously we thought that our company is trying our best practicing privacy security to most of the aspects, both in commercial and personnel perspectives. However, when we exercise the controls, we learned from the international information security management standards that there are rooms of improvement that demand us to do it better with more precaution and consideration.

We chose SGS because of their long history of auditing and certification services, with their large scale of facilities around the world, including their close-working team in Hong Kong, we strongly believe SGS has proven skills and expertise to conduct assessments to the best international standards.”

Novation's successful attainment of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification highlight its dedication to data security and privacy in the printing industry. By setting an exemplary standard for the sector, Novation not only protects its clients' sensitive information but also reinforces its position as a trusted partner. SGS commends Novation on this significant achievement and encourages other players in the industry to follow suit, fostering a safer and more secure digital landscape for all.
