ECS Group has announced that its Group IT department has achieved ISO 27001 certification. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to information security and operational efficiency. As a certified service provider, ECS Group’s IT tools and systems now operate under a globally recognized standard for information security management. This ensures that all affiliated entities benefit from enhanced protection, compliance, and performance.
ISO 27001 is considered the gold standard in information security. It demonstrates ECS Group’s dedication to implementing best-in-class technical and organizational measures. By adopting the Group IT solutions and applying the ECS IT Security Policy, entities across the network achieve alignment with the standard’s security objectives. These objectives include access control, data protection, business continuity, and risk management.
By achieving ISO 27001 certification, ECS Group strengthens its IT security and aligns with GDPR requirements. This ensures robust data protection through strict access controls, regular risk assessments, and full compliance with EU privacy standards.
This certification positions ECS Group as a reliable partner for airlines and logistics providers who require robust cybersecurity postures and compliance with international standards. “More and more airlines are requiring their partners to demonstrate compliance with ISO 27001 and other security frameworks,” says Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group. “Our certification provides immediate assurance to clients and partners that we take information security seriously — and that we’re fully equipped to meet their expectations”.
The certification also enhances the reliability and resilience of ECS Group’s digital tools and operational processes. Certified IT services allow for predictable and efficient service delivery, reduced system downtime, and quicker incident response times. These are all critical components in ensuring business continuity and securing customer data.

In addition to ISO 27001, ECS Group also undergoes a regular SOC 2 Type 2 audit, further reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and data protection. ISO 27001 focuses on building and maintaining a strong information security management system. SOC 2 Type 2 attests to the ongoing effectiveness of security controls. Together, these standards position ECS Group as a trusted partner for airlines and logistics companies worldwide.
This milestone reflects ECS Group’s broader digital strategy and ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. Through the implementation of internationally recognized standards like ISO 27001, ECS Group demonstrates its commitment to excellence. This approach continues to reinforce its leadership in the air cargo industry. It does so by delivering secure, scalable, and forward-thinking digital solutions to its partners and customers worldwide.
Globe Air Cargo, a subsidiary of ECS Group, has been appointed as the General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for Air Premia. This appointment covers both Cambodia and Myanmar. This strategic partnership reinforces ECS Group’s footprint in Southeast Asia. It also highlights its ongoing commitment to expanding in high-growth, emerging air cargo markets.
Under the agreement, cargo from both countries will be routed via Bangkok (BKK). It will then be sent to key global destinations including Seoul (ICN), Tokyo Narita (NRT), and major U.S. hubs such as Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Newark (EWR). Air Premia’s Boeing 787 operations out of Bangkok offer an estimated cargo capacity of 15 to 18 tons per flight. Interline connections will ensure efficient cargo feed into the BKK gateway for onward international distribution.
Exports from Cambodia are expected to focus on ready-made garments and electronic parts. Myanmar will contribute a mix of textiles and agricultural goods. Air Premia also plans to support the transport of perishables, including mangoes, as part of its inbound cargo strategy.
“This partnership with Air Premia highlights our ability to deliver agile, market-specific solutions in rapidly growing regions,” said Jean Ceccaldi, CEO of ECS Group. “Our team at Globe Air Cargo Cambodia is fully aligned with Air Premia’s goals, and we are confident in achieving strong commercial results across both markets.”
