ISO 27001 & Data Security


Relative Insight has put appropriate security measures in place to prevent your data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

In addition, we limit access to your data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Our security is independently audited:

Relative Insight Limited is ISO 27001 certified at both its Lancaster and London locations, and is audited annually to ensure its compliance. ISO 27001 covers all aspects of information security and ensures we have the correct policies and processes in place for dealing with your data.

These polices include:

  • Access control and management: who has access to our platform operations and how this access is managed
  • Data redundancy and backup: how data is kept safe and stored in the event of adversity
  • Change management: how we make sure changes are tracked and properly reviewed from a security perspective
  • Software architecture and development: we make sure security is considered at all stages of the development process

Relative Insight has a dedicated Security Officer, who oversees certification, compliance and data protection issues.

Internal information security forums are held at least once a year where the companies security processes and compliance is reviewed and updated where necessary.
