Pioneering provider of secure maritime data communications software, GTMaritime, has received certification to the ISO/IEC 27001 international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). 

Defining requirements for an ISMS, ISO/IEC 27001 establishes a holistic approach to information security that encompasses people, policies and technology. Compliance with the standard is evidence that an organisation has created a comprehensive system to asses and manage information security risks, and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data it owns and handles on behalf of its clients.
