Manateq's commitment to data security and privacy recognized with ISO 27001 Certification

Doha, Qatar - Manateq’s endeavor to provide world-class Industrial Zones, Warehousing and Logistics Parks that are safe and secure, has yet again received an international stamp of approval by obtaining ISO 27001 certification for its information security management system. The certification was performed by Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide.

Intertek certified Manateq as compliant with all of the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification requirements - the international standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission.  Established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the standard requires the certification of an organization’s information security management controls for areas such as data security and business continuity. The certification extends to every level of an organization’s IT infrastructure stack, including asset management, access control, human resource security, and application security.
Achieving the ISO 27001 standard certifies that Manateq has the requisite information security controls in place to protect client data. The certification is awarded only to those companies that can meet the standard as judged by an independent, qualified team of auditors.

“Manteq’s obtaining ISO 27001 certification reflects our commitment at all levels to provide services at par with highest international standards and practices and in line with the requirements of our valued customers as well as that of regulatory and supervisory entities and stakeholders, in addition to the company's commitment to continue developing its services and operations,” said Mr. Fahad Rashid Al-Kaabi, Chief Executive Officer of Manateq.

He added, “By securing ISO 27001 certification for our information security management system, we are able to provide our clients with a higher degree of confidence in the stability of security around their data. We are trusted by our clients and with this certification, Manateq has shown its commitment to the highest levels of security, and demonstrated that is has all the necessary controls in place to ensure that this strict standard is met by its technology, people and processes.”
 
“I feel extremely proud of Manateq on this unique and remarkable achievement. I would like to thank Intertek for its professionalism and support throughout the process. Intertek is an exceptional and strategic partner that helped us obtain this important ISO 27001 certification,” added Mr. Fahad Rashid Al-Kaabi.

Achieving the ISO/IEC 27001 standard involves a two-stage security audit; including an initial review of the company’s ISMS documentation, followed by an in-depth, formal compliance audit to assess the company’s ISMS implementation against the standard’s requirements. The company must complete regular follow-up audits to confirm that the organization remains in compliance with the standard.

Manateq has always demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality in all facets of its operations by investing in the best quality management systems, people and processes, where it has been awarded earlier ISO 14001:2015 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certificates for MANATEQ HSEMS after showing dedication to the highest standards of Health, Safety and Environment Management (HSEM).

About Manateq
We are a catalyst for change; a national initiative working to diversify Qatar’s economy through the provision of world-class infrastructures within strategically placed economic zones.

Established in 2011, with His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Bin Ali Al Kuwari, the Minister of Commerce and Industry, as the Chairman, Manateq is positioned as a vital component in achieving the ‘Economic Development’ pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030.

We realise that long-term and sustainable economic growth can only be accomplished through a thriving private business sector, capable of competing globally, and that the nation must now think beyond the current upcoming projects, such as the 2022 World Cup, to the establishment of non-oil related industries. To this end, the emphasis is now on the creation of a solid infrastructure in which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can prosper and grow.

To ensure this kind of longevity, it is essential that we have the investment, expertise, and entrepreneurial culture necessary. Manateq is therefore mandated to establish a wider range of business sectors in the economy, by developing indigenous enterprises in these sectors whilst also attracting international investment, businesses, and partners.

We work with potential and existing, local and foreign, investors; providing an international gateway for the swift set-up and successful growth of your business in Qatar.

Our personalized and comprehensive client engagement and support services ensure that establishing your operations here is made simple, and with our diverse range of land and property solutions there are plenty of reasons to make the move.
