BSI accreditation

Kingston Smith Consulting, a provider of business protection solutions and part of Kingston Smith LLP, a top 20 UK accountancy firm, has been given full accreditation by the British Standards Institute as a member of its Associate Consultant Programme (ACP) for ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management), BS25999 (Business Continuity Management) and ISO/IEC 20000 (IT Service Management).

The ACP designation follows a comprehensive review of Kingston Smith Consulting’s portfolio of work on these standards, including its supporting processes and procedures.

The BSI is a world-leading business services organisation. Originating as the world’s first national standards body, the BSI Group has grown to supply services to over 100 countries worldwide.

As a certification body, the BSI is entirely independent and as such, is unable to provide any form of consultancy service. The ACP was established to direct clients to consultants that the BSI has thoroughly assessed. The ACP is a list of consultancies that have demonstrated their experience and competence to the BSI with respect to certified management systems.

Mark Child, partner for Technology Risk Management at Kingston Smith Consulting, said:

“We are proud that the BSI has recognised our expertise in the areas of business continuity, information security and IT service management. Now that we are members of the Associate Consultant Programme, we are looking forward to helping our clients achieve compliance and certification against these standards as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”
