With ISO 27001 in place, Fat Beehive are able to minimise risks to potential data security breaches and reduce errors and costs, while demonstrating credibility and trust.

They rightly expect very high standards from their suppliers.

- Reputational protection;
- Reduction of errors and associated costs;
- increased profitability through internal twice-yearly process reviews and avoidance of costs incurred through poor security;
