Jan 7, 2025 | Announcements

Los Angeles, CA

WR Immigration proudly announces its achievement of ISO 27001:2022 certification, the internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This rare achievement in immigration law positions WR Immigration among an elite group of law firms committed to advancing excellence in cybersecurity. The ISO 27001 certification represents WR Immigration’s impressive commitment to safeguarding sensitive client data and ensuring compliance with ever-evolving global regulations during increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Critically, this certification covers all of WR Immigration’s core internal functions – including Information Technology, Company Operations, Finance, and Human Resources – and ensures:

  • Stricter protection of sensitive personal and corporate information
  • Enhanced cybersecurity defense against evolving threats
  • Compliance with global privacy regulations, including GDPR
  • Secure cross-border data transfers for multinational mobility programs

As regulatory requirements are only due to intensify, clients will benefit immensely from the certification’s rigorous protection of their cyber data.  This will result in:

  • Enhanced trust in the protection of sensitive data and personal identifiable information (PII)
  • Minimized risks during audits, RFEs, and regulatory reviews
  • Secure handling of cross-border data transfers for multinational employers
  • Robust data protection during periods of administrative transition and increased scrutiny

The certification also supports WR Immigration’s proprietary platform, WRapid™, which integrates advanced data collection and AI-powered tools to optimize immigration filings and client workflows. By maintaining peerless security protocols through an experienced independent IT Governance team, WR Immigration is a proactive leader in developing and adopting the latest security measures to counter the growing landscape of cybersecurity threats.

ISO certification is more than a badge of quality – it’s a critical tool for companies to demonstrate their commitment to global standards and resilience,” stated Bernie Wolfsdorf, Managing Partner.  He continues, Our clients and their employees trust us with their sensitive data. We take this trust very seriously and have decided to further safeguard this data by pursuing ISO 27001 certification. While the process confirmed we had excellent controls in place already, going through the process of preparing for certification with the guidance of IT Governance allowed us to refine our policies and documentation, and helped us more effectively define roles and responsibilities with regard to data protection. Going through this process has strengthened our commitment to data security as an organization and greatly benefits our clients.”
