ARLINGTON, VA, November 10, 2020 – Halfaker and Associates, LLC (Halfaker), a technology solutions provider within the Federal Government’s health, intelligence, defense, and security sectors, announced it has achieved the ISO/IEC 27001 cybersecurity certification, which affirms that the company’s information security management practices exceed industry standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a thought leader in international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

The ISO/IEC 27001 certification verifies Halfaker’s commitment to protect information for customers, partners, and employees, and its ability to manage the security of assets including financial information, intellectual property, and personally identifiable information (PII).

“ISO/IEC 27001 is an important demonstration of the strength of our information security policies and our commitment to safeguarding our clients’ critical data,” said Halfaker President and CEO Dawn Halfaker. “We are dedicated to ensuring that Halfaker is positioned to safeguard our customers against cybercrime, data breaches, and viral threats, and this certification provides additional assurance of our process rigor.”

Halfaker is preparing for a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) assessment to further validate the maturity of its Information Security Program. This certification was developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), whom Halfaker has supported since its inception over 14 years ago, to ensure protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Halfaker has leveraged modern services and technologies, with a focus on aligning with Zero Trust best practices, to establish a strong cyber posture, in compliance with CMMC standards. Halfaker is committed to process maturity, security technologies, and mature procedures to protect the information of our customers, employees, and partners.

In addition, Halfaker achieved and maintained the ISO 9001 certification, which not only adds credibility to the organization, but also validates that Halfaker meets requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) and consistently provide products and services that exceed customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
