Certifications & Accreditations

Certification Certifying Body Scope Achieved Expiry Status
ISO 27001 Recognised accredited certification company (not named) Azets states it is "an ISO 27001 accredited company". Version year not stated by Azets; a third-party consultancy case study refers to ISO 27001:2022. No certificate number, scope or dates published. — — Current
Cyber Essentials Not stated by vendor Stated in Azets’ own DPA, Annex 2: "Azets Holdings holds Cyber Essential certification". The certified entity is Azets Holdings, not the whole group. No number, body or date. — — Current

Compliance Frameworks

ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Partial
Vendor states certification but names no body, version, number or dates. Note the Trust Centre page separately says only that Azets is "aligning with" ISO 27001 — an inconsistency worth raising.
Cyber Essentials
Partial
Stated in the DPA for the Azets Holdings entity only.
GDPR 2016/679
Full
Published customer-facing DPA; DPO contact [email protected]. ICO registration found at entity level only: ZA535639 (Azets Audit Services Ltd).

Regulatory status and link rot

Azets is **regulated for a range of investment business activities by the ICAEW**, and Azets Audit Services Limited is registered to conduct audit work. Not FCA-regulated.

The DPA also references AWS and Microsoft data-centre certifications — those are **supplier** certifications, not Azets’.

Practical note: all azets.co.uk deep links now redirect to azets.com/en-uk, and several Trust Centre pages sit under /en/ rather than /en-uk/. No security contact, disclosure page or security.txt was found.
