Cloud Computing Services are a model for delivering technological resources that allows direct and remote access to informed resources - such as applications, databases, usability or storage space - over the internet.

Cloud computing is increasingly used by companies to migrate their data, information or infrastructure, thanks to its flexibility, high availability, accessibility, mobility and cost reduction.

To manage the security risks of personally identifiable information (PII), an internationally recognized code of practice was developed, focused on the protection of personal data in the cloud - ISO/IEC 27018. This is an extremely useful tool that contributes and provides confidence to the market regarding the capacity, suitability and commitment of cloud computing service providers to the applicable legislation.

ISO/IEC 27018 is based on the ISO/IEC 27002 information security standard, complements the set of controls in Annex A to ISO/IEC 27001, and includes controls for the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), in accordance with the privacy principles of ISO/IEC 29100 for the public cloud computing environment.

Os riscos de acidente são um fator muito importante a ser considerado pelas organizações, uma vez que podem afetar de forma significativa a sua atividade.

Optar por uma decisão estratégica para promover a segurança rodoviária, tanto na atividade de trabalho como nas deslocações profissionais, é fundamental para o futuro de todas as organizações, devido ao seu impacto não só humano, mas também social e económico.

A norma ISO 39001 Sistema de Gestão de Segurança Rodoviária, torna-se assim uma ferramenta chave com o objetivo de reduzir e, se possível, eliminar a incidência e o risco de lesões graves, e até a morte, em acidentes de trânsito provocados durante o trabalho ou em deslocação para o mesmo.

Este sistema de gestão é indicado para qualquer organização, independentemente da sua localização, tamanho ou atividade, não se limitando apenas às organizações que têm como principal atividade o transporte.

ISO/IEC 27701 is a standard geared towards the management of private information, defining requirements and providing guidelines that help companies manage privacy risks related to personally identifiable information (PII).

It is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations responsible for the control and processing of personally identifiable information, including public and private companies, government entities and non-profit organizations.

Because it complies with international regulations, this tool allows you to demonstrate to customers and other stakeholders that there are effective systems in place to support compliance with the GDPR and other privacy regulations around the world.

O Regime CORSIA é um sistema de compensação desenvolvido pela OACI (Organização da Aviação Civil Internacional), para o contributo do setor da aviação internacional no combate às alterações climáticas. 

Este Regime visa estabilizar as emissões de dióxido de carbono para o setor de aviação no período de referência (2019 - 2020), permitindo aos operadores de aeronave compensar o aumento das suas emissões após esse período (2021, inclusive).

O Regime CORISA decorre inicialmente durante o período entre 2021-2035, sendo composto por 3 fases:

• Fase Piloto (2021-2023) – Regime Voluntário, para cada Estado (os Estados-Membro da União Europeia optaram por integrar o regime CORSIA logo nesta fase);

• 1ª Fase (2014-2026) – Regime Voluntário;

• 2ª Fase (2027-2035) – Regime Obrigatório. Nesta fase a OIAC informa os Estados que têm de participar no CORSIA num dado ano.

No âmbito deste regime, os operadores de aeronaves devem monitorizar as emissões de CO2 em todas as rotas internacionais e compensar as emissões das rotas abrangidas pelo Regime CORSIA através da compra de unidades de emissão elegíveis.

A APCER, enquanto prestadora de serviços de verificação de relatórios de emissão CELE e CORSIA, assume as obrigações que lhe são incumbidas no capítulo II do Regulamento (UE) n.º 2018/2067, obtendo e mantendo a acreditação pelo organismo nacional de acreditação, Instituto Português de Acreditação, IPAC.

Bribery is one of society's most destructive and challenging issues, contributing to reduced quality of life, increased poverty and eroded community trust, despite efforts to combat it internationally.

In order for organizations to take proactive measures to prevent corruption, ISO 37001 has been published. This standard reflects international good practice and has the potential to reduce corporate risk and costs related to bribery by providing a business framework for preventing, detecting and dealing with these issues.

ISO 37001 is applicable to any type of organization doing business anywhere in the world, can be integrated with other management systems, and addresses the following aspects:

• bribery in the public, private and non-profit sectors;
• bribery by the organization;
• bribery by the organization's staff acting on its behalf or in its interests;
• bribery by business partners acting on behalf of the organization or in its interests;
• bribery of the organization;
• bribery of the organization's staff in the framework of the organization's activities;
• bribery of the organization's business partners in the framework of the organization's activities;
• direct and indirect corruption (e.g. a bribe offered or accepted by or through a third party).

Commitment to safety and health in your organization during the Covid-19 pandemic

COVID-19 changed the way of living and working. Organizations have been reorganizing over the course of the pandemic, adopting new work practices, and following the guidelines of health authorities, through the implementation of measures to protect human life.

ISO/PAS 45005 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the incorporation of best practices and helps manage the risks of COVID-19 regarding health, safety and well-being at work with the aim of protecting workers (organization’s workers, subcontractors, suppliers, among others) and the other relevant stakeholders (customers, public, etc.).

The ISO / PAS 45005 guidelines can be applied by organizations of all sizes and from all sectors, by organizations that continued to operate during the pandemic, by those that are planning to resume operations in all or some locations. work, and by the organizations that are going to start their activity.

It is a complementary standard to ISO 45001 and its implementation and certification can be integrated with other management systems. ISO / PAS 45005 will facilitate the coordination of resources and efforts in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in adapting to the “new normal”.
