We strive to safeguard the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the data of our clients and business partners," said David Chen, President of VanceInfo, "As one of the leading providers of offshore software development, VanceInfo has a longstanding commitment to applying best practices and technologies to software development for our clients. Achieving the ISO 27001 certification today and the CMMI Level 5 certification a quarter ago serves as confirmation that VanceInfo has made continuous efforts to meet the industry's most stringent standards."

The ISO 27001 certification was awarded after detailed assessment of information security management in Shanghai VanceInfo's processes of software architect, development and testing. This accreditation marks another major step of VanceInfo toward achieving operational excellence and maximizing customer trust and confidence in the Company's IT infrastructure and security capabilities.
