How can you support the procurement process?
We are listed on the government’s G-Cloud and have ISO 27001 certification. Both of these reduce the administration burden involved in the procurement process. For example, when completing your Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) a lot of the questions will be covered by our ISO 27001 certification.
Data Security
Will our data be safe with NewZapp Trusted Delivery?
Yes. Stringent security protocols are ingrained within NewZapp Trusted Delivery. Here’s an overview of what you can rely upon:
We have ISO 27001 certification – ISO 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security – it is extremely difficult to obtain this level of certification and something we are immensely proud of. It means that as an organisation we have gone significantly above what is mandated by the UK Data Protection Act, GDPR and Cyber Essentials. It means that as an organisation we regularly carry out data risk assessments, maintain extremely high levels of data protection and that we are audited by an independent 3rd party regularly to ensure we do exactly what we say when it comes to protecting your data.
Cyber Essentials certification – Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that ensures we have good practice in information security.
GDPR and UK Data Protection Act compliance – unlike many other email communication providers, we keep your data in the UK at all times which guarantees you are GDPR compliant.
Regular independent security audits – by involving an independent party we confirm that all our security protocols are up to speed and as rigorous as possible.
Is there an audit trail we can use?
Yes. NewZapp Communications includes an audit trail which means you can see the history of every action taken. So should you accidentally send a communication out, you can look back and identify, when and how it happened and who was responsible.

Does NewZapp integrate with Power BI?
Yes. This can be done for free with data displayed in the Power BI dashboard.
