We secure client information to the world’s highest safety standards

Now we’re certified, our ISO 27001 certification helps us stand out from the competition, inspire confidence in the high standard of our data security, and convert even more clients with even quicker turnaround. 

 
Why ISO 27001 is such a significant achievement 

For our customers:

• Validates their confidence that we protect, manage and process their information in the most secure and trustworthy way possible 

• Gives them a recognisable stamp of approval from a world-renowned standards organisation  

• Proves to them and their employees that their money and data are in safe hands 

For our business:

• We set ourselves apart from many other workplace pension providers  

• We lead the way within NatWest Group as a pioneer in information security 

• We open the door to new clients who wouldn’t have considered us before – almost every significant prospect asks us about ISO 27001 

• We streamline the sales journey by cutting down due diligence – instead of questionnaires with hundreds of requests, we just need to show the certificate 

 
How Cushon go above and beyond 

In true Cushon style, we’re not satisfied with meeting the minimum requirements – even for the world’s highest quality certification.  

Most businesses that achieve the ISO 27001 badge of honour only prove that one or two areas of their business meet these world-class standards of information security. And while this is still no mean feat, we take it further.  

Our ISO 27001 audit and certification covers every single business function we operate. Every team, every project, every piece of data shared with us. 

This is in addition to our certifications in Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. 

We believe in 360° safety and security for our clients and their employees. And we settle for nothing less.
