Drum Cussac CEO Andrew Littlejohns speaks of his delight after the global risk management company is awarded ISO/PAS 28007 for Excellence in Private Maritime and Offshore Security Services Drum Cussac has been awarded ISO/PAS 28007 certification by global management system certifier, LRQA; an accolade reserved for private maritime security companies, which demonstrate excellence in the provision of privately contracted security personnel to commercial vessels. This places the UK-based global business risk management company among a very elite group of private maritime security providers who meet the stringent guidelines that set the benchmark for regulatory compliance, professionalism and quality. The Chief Executive Officer of Drum Cussac, Andrew Littlejohns, speaking after the award ceremony to present the certification to the company, said he was delighted to accept the ISO, noting that it marked the culmination of two years of huge effort by his staff: "This is yet another critical step in the development of, and continuous improvement at, Drum Cussac, not just in the area of maritime security, but across our business, as we continue to serve some of the largest companies in the World," said Littlejohns. "There is a unique aspect to this certification which is that the ISO 28007 does not just certify the delivery of maritime security services on vessels, but also covers the delivery of the risk management consultancy and services to oil and gas companies as they conduct their seismic and drilling explorations offshore." David Derrick, LRQA's Business Centre Manager said: "Certification to the ISO 28000 and ISO/PAS 28007 standards clearly shows that Drum Cussac has made a firm commitment in demonstrating its professionalism to ship owners and managers. In meeting the rigorous requirements of these standards, the organisation has shown its commitment to customer service, quality, safety and risk management processes."
