Highest international information security standard for SLT

Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) has been awarded the highest international information security standard, BS 7799/ISO 27001 certification for its islandwide broadband network operations services including MPLS based IP VPN services, ADSL services, Business DSL services and ISDN services.

SLT became the first company incorporated in Sri Lanka to achieve this security standard by being listed in the prestigious Information Security Management System (ISMS) Registry (http://www.iso27001 certificates.com).

This certification (ISOIEC: 27001:2005) was awarded to SLT's Internet Protocol (IP) and Broad Band (BB) division from the International Organisation for Standardisation recently.

It was the second division to receive this accreditation within SLT, apart from the British certified, BS7799 standard.

Last year SLT data centre also awarded the highest international information security standard, BS 7799/ISO 27001 certification to services which include hosting of the client's data and provisioning of other services such as Co Locating Dedicated Hosting, Virtual Hosting of Web, Database, email and Managed Service.
