Our Security Commitment

Purpose and Scope

Qorums recognizes the importance of an effective security program to protect the company’s employees, assets, information, integrity and reputation from potential threats. From time to time, Qorums may update this policy and implement different levels of security controls for different information assets, based on risk and other considerations. This policy is guided by security requirements specific to Qorums including applicable laws and regulations.

The company commitment is guided by the basic core values, code of conduct and business ethics which shape and influence the way Qorums operates. These core values include professionalism, respect for employees, stakeholders and customers and a permanent concern for health, safety and the protection of the environment.

Core Principles

Qorums recognizes that secure operations are dependent upon employee participation, commitment and accountability. All security activities must adhere to the general principles as laid down in the company’s Code of Conduct, Acceptable Use Policy, Information Security Policy, Internal Control Policy, Network Security Policy and Physical Security Policy and be in line with the Company Mission statement.

Policy

• The security and protection of employees and customers must be the overriding priority of all business activity.
• Qorums Security Team and Line Management must be continually aware of and take responsibility for the security aspects of its business activities. Security organization and resources must reflect this commitment.
• Prevention must be a priority. Threats analysis and risk evaluation should be carried out on a continuous basis.
• Preparedness is essential to mitigate incidents rapidly and effectively. Response plans must be developed and tested to deal with assessed risks.
• The level of professionalism, knowledge and integrity of staff involved in security matters on behalf of Qorums must be tightly controlled and exemplary.
• All incidents, including security breaches and irregularities must be reported and recorded. Corrective action should be taken and followed up through the regular verifications to improve the overall security standard of the company.
• Mindful of the need to introduce security measures to protect its employees, personnel and customers, Qorums nonetheless makes every effort to minimize the impact of these measures on everyone involved.

As far as possible, security procedures and guidelines reflect the seamless integration of security and business activities.
