“The DigitalXRAID team supported us thoroughly through the entire project, but especially during both the stage 1 and stage 2 external audits where it became clear the work put in meant we were ticking all the boxes. Their guidance on what areas of documentation to improve were instrumental in ARU achieving certification with not a single non-conformance. The team were very professional in their dealings with senior management and other ARU colleagues during the internal audits. It’s been a pleasure working with them to achieve this advanced information security management certification.”
– Rob Spalding, Head of IT Infrastructure, Anglia Ruskin University (ARU)
