and U.S. Consulting Arm for their proprietary Security Risk Manager. Its exclusive solutions use PESI® - an ISO 9001-certified

methodology conforming to the ISO/IEC 17799 standard.

MÓDULO's continuous concern with excellence in quality standards has resulted in three important achievements. First, it became

Latin America's pioneer company to obtain the BS 7799 certification - the International Information Security Management standard.

It also received certification for ISO 9001, and has been re-certified since 1998.

Second, was the launch of Security Risk Manager, a software program for risk assessment, compliance and Knowledge

Management System. Modulo Security Lab, one of the most complete IT laboratories in Brazil, provides support in technology

research and updates the information security knowledge-base used by Security Risk Manager. The company also has an Education

Center specialized in training and certifying information security managers.

And most recently, Modulo has become the first information security company in the world to achieve the ISO 27001 certification.

ISO 27001 is the first international information security certification standard and an evolution on British Standard BS 7799-2. It

addresses the definition of requirements for implementation of an Information Security Management System - ISMS. The standard

was adopted in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which handles international certification

standards. Modulo Security achieved this certification in record time thanks to the use of Security Risk Manager.
