DUBAI, February 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Accreditations in Assurance, Best Practice and Data Security

eHosting DataFort, the region's leading IT Outsourcing and
Advisory services provider, today announced it has obtained three
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certifications -
ISO9001: 2008, ISO 20000:2005 and ISO 27001:2005.

The three global standard accreditations were awarded to EHDF
by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV)
confirming the entity as the only company in the entire Middle East region to
have achieved this in a 12 month period.

Mohamed Fouz, CEO of eHosting DataFort, said: "Achieving these
three accreditations within a year is an important milestone in benchmarking
EHDF's on-going corporate governance and management systems program to
provide reliable and secure services to our customers located globally. These
awards demonstrate eHosting DataFort's commitment to the highest standards in
information security and service management. Through the certifications, we
assure our customers we consistently adhere to global best practices
throughout our operations."

ISO9001 is now the global standard all organizations implement
while providing assurance on the ability to satisfy the quality requirements
to enhance customer relationships.

ISO20000 is the international standard for conforming to a
number of best practices in IT services. These include: making a business
more competitive; improving reliability; and availability of services that
will lead to improved customer satisfaction while managing and reducing risks
and costs.

ISO27001 is a world-renowned industry standard developed
specifically for Information Security Management Systems and acknowledges
that eHosting DataFort has successfully implemented the highest data security
standards across all departments, data centres and security operations since
September 2008. The accreditation reflects the commitment of EHDF towards its
customers by adopting a systematic approach to managing sensitive corporate
information and ensuring data security.

Theuns Kotze, Regional Director, BSI Management Systems Middle
East & Africa said: "ISO certifications are based on the British Standards
and, while BSI works towards raising standards worldwide, it is commendable
that one of the region's leading IT outsourcing and advisory service provider
in the Middle East is the first in achieving three of these certifications in
just twelve months."

He added: "The three accreditation certifications recognize
the importance of quality assurance, best practice and good information
security standards. By attaining certifications to these levels demonstrates
the importance that eHosting DataFort is placing on the protection of
information for the benefit of their customers, and is leading the way in the
region's IT sector. Together, we work to create confidence in today's
market."

Ahmed Baig, Leading Advisory Services team at eHosting
DataFort said "Implementation of the three ISO certifications comes as part
of EHDF's endeavour to establish a sound Corporate Governance and Management
systems Program (CGMS) that aims to provide the organization with clear
guidance in assessing business risks. The programme looks to ensure all areas
of business at EHDF are aligned with the overall business strategy so that
business can operate efficiently through a common set of policies,
regulations and processes."

Fouz added: "When economic stability is crucial, it is
important to gain customer confidence by proving our reliability in
delivering our services with confidentiality and integrity. EHDF fulfils this
requirement and will continue to focus on working towards improving the
processes even further."
