Certification Validates FCS's Proactive Approach to Risk Management, Compliance and Operational Transparency
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2025 / FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), an ADEC Innovation, announces today that it is ISO 27001 certified, a globally recognized standard for information security management. This milestone reinforces FCS's dedication to safeguarding client data, enhancing operational integrity, and maintaining the highest standards of security across its services.
To earn this certification, FCS implemented a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS), which included the development and documentation of 100+ new policies. The process involved identifying potential risks, establishing robust controls to mitigate them, and ensuring compliance with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. The certification process included a series of internal audits to evaluate and refine existing procedures. Following these, FCS underwent a two-stage external audit. The first focused on reviewing documentation to ensure it met ISO standards. The second involved a thorough assessment of day-to-day operations across the company to confirm that practices matched documented policies.
ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a high level of commitment to information security, which is increasingly required by clients and partners, particularly in industries where data protection is critical. This certification enhances FCS's ability to secure new projects and meet the expectations of organizations with specific security requirements.
For employees, this certification supports business development efforts and strengthens FCS's reputation during client negotiations. It also reinforces a workplace culture that prioritizes data security and operational excellence. Clients benefit from the assurance that their data is managed with internationally recognized safeguards, reducing the risk of breaches and enhancing trust in FCS's services.
"FCS is proud to announce this next level in assurance for our clients, partners, and teams," said Patrick Schultz, Executive Vice President, FCS. "Our work in creating positive impact and value involves data that is both public and proprietary, environmental and organizational, objective and subjective, and our ISO 27001 certification demonstrates our commitment to protecting that data in a landscape that is continually evolving from both a regulatory and security standpoint."
While ISO 27001 is held by tens of thousands of organizations worldwide, FCS joins a select group of firms in its sector that have made this level of investment in security infrastructure and compliance.
