Challenges
Unpatched systems of the organization were a major risk. Failing to continuously address critical weaknesses in their IT infrastructure which could be exploited, putting sensitive data and core business operations at risk.
The likelihood of data breaches was high. This could result in significant financial losses, damage to the organization's reputation, and potentially cause legal repercussions.
Security incidents were high and without proper management of these incidents, the organization was at risk, which could hinder Fatima Fertilizer's reputation, wear down customer trust, and lead to missed business opportunities.
Solution
Osol cybersecurity team, with a thorough and deep understanding of Information security governance, implemented an information security governance function with the first objective of getting globally recognized security certification of ISO 27001. Osol team did rigorous exercise to streamline processes of information security to help achieve its first certification.
The successful adoption of ISO 27001:2013 transformed Fatima Fertilizer into a leading production organization to attain this certification for a total of six different physical sites.
This strategic move not only provided a structured and systematic approach to managing information security but also enabled Fatima Fertilizer to mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and uphold trust and efficiency. Without this framework, Fatima Fertilizer encountered substantial challenges that considerably slowed down their operations and security stance.
The implementation of ISO 27001:2013 and subsequent ISO 27001:2022 elevated Fatima Fertilizer into a prominent position within the industry and the client transitioned into a leading organization under the latest standard.
This significant shift enabled Fatima Fertilizers to achieve a historic milestone and became the first manufacturing organization to accomplish this upgrade, setting a new industry benchmark.
