Dublin, 7th May 2020 - Fund Recs today announced that on May 1st 2020 it was independently awarded ISO 27001:2013 certification for Information Security Management by Certification Europe.

What is ISO 27001:2013 and why is it so important for organisations?

ISO 27001:2013 is the only standard that sets out the specifications for an information security management system (ISMS).

Organisations increasingly have to show they can be trusted for information security and privacy management and having ISO 27001:2013 demonstrates that an organisation has identified risks and put in place preventative measures to protect the organisation from information security breaches.

What does ISO 27001:2013 certification mean for Fund Recs?:

- Helps us protect information from getting into unauthorised hands

- Ensures information is accurate and can only be modified by authorised users

- Provides a framework for assessing the risks and mitigating the impact of a breach

- Demonstrates independent assessment to an international standard based on industry best practices

What are the benefits for our current and prospective clients?:

- Increased reliability and security of systems and information

- Increased business resilience

- Alignment with customer requirements

- Improved management processes and integration with corporate risk strategies

Dublin and London, 24th November 2014 - Cloud based financial services technology providers Fund Recs and CloudMargin today announced a partnership to offer the first fully integrated, cloud based collateral management and portfolio reconciliation platform.

CloudMargin offers clients optimized end-to-end collateral management workflow for the full spectrum of margined products such as OTC bilateral and cleared derivatives, futures and options, repo and reinsurance.

They are looking for state of the art services that simultaneously empower them to run an efficient, controlled business and comply with their regulatory obligations. Whether the client's prime focus is monitoring counterparty risk, optimizing balance sheet inventory or reconciling their portfolios, CloudMargin and FundRecs together provide the solution the market needs and we're delighted to enter into this partnership."

Alan Meaney, Director of Fund Recs added: "We are thrilled to formally announce our partnership with Cloud Margin. The team at CloudMargin shares our vision for the new breed of financial services software - innovative, value creating and backed up by industry expertise. Just as we are reimagining reconciliations at Fund Recs the team at CloudMargin are leveraging their years of experience in Collateral Management to create a new, user focused Collateral Management solution. This partnership will allow us to integrate data on both our platforms to benefit our shared customers by reducing the need to send out similar data sets to multiple vendors."
