The Government Service and Insurance System (GSIS) has successfully navigated the rigorous audit process conducted by TÜV Rheinland Philippines Inc., achieving a recommendation for recertification for one global standard and maintaining certification for another. This dual achievement solidifies GSIS’s commitment to delivering superior, dependable, and highly secure services to its members, pensioners, and stakeholders.
GSIS has been recommended for recertification of the ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System) standard. This recommendation is a testament to the institution’s relentless pursuit of exceptional service delivery, ensuring that all processes and services consistently meet global quality standards and satisfy the needs of its beneficiaries.
“Achieving the recommendation for ISO 9001:2015 recertification underscores the collective effort of the entire GSIS team to embed a culture of quality and efficiency in every transaction,” said a spokesperson for GSIS. “This is not just a certificate; it’s a global affirmation that our services are designed, managed, and delivered with the highest international benchmarks in mind.”
In the critical domain of data handling, GSIS has successfully maintained its certification for the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security Management System).
This continued certification validates the strength and reliability of GSIS’s data protection protocols, which are anchored on the core principles of the CIA triad:
Confidentiality: Ensuring information is accessible only to those authorized to have it.
Integrity: Safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of data and processing methods.
Availability: Guaranteeing that authorized users have access to information and associated assets when required.
The maintenance of this standard demonstrates GSIS’s proactive approach to safeguarding sensitive member and pensioner data against evolving cyber threats, guaranteeing a secure and trustworthy digital environment.
The successful recommendation and maintenance of these international benchmarks reinforce the GSIS’s position as a forward-thinking government agency dedicated to continuous improvement and world-class public service.
This milestone reflects GSIS’s dedication to operational excellence, risk management, and maintaining the trust of millions of government employees and retirees it serves.
