Independently certified. Proudly Irish.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It requires organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a formal framework for managing information security risks. Certification is not self-declared — it is awarded only after a rigorous independent audit by an accredited certification body.

SmartHost Web Services Limited was audited and certified by West Assured, a certification body accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB). INAB is the state body responsible for authorising certification organisations in Ireland under ISO 17021-1. This means our certification is fully recognised — not a commercial badge, but a formally accredited, independently verified audit outcome.

The scope of our certification covers the full range of services that underpin Web60: the provision and maintenance of web hosting services, domain registration, DNS services, SSL certificate provisioning, email hosting, and associated customer support services.

For Web60 customers, this means your website data is managed under a formally audited security framework — not just a privacy policy on a website, but a documented, tested, and externally verified set of controls covering access management, incident response, data handling, and business continuity.

Guaranteed Irish is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that verifies companies are genuinely Irish-owned, employ people in Ireland, and contribute to the Irish economy. Membership is not self-declared — it is independently assessed and verified before the Guaranteed Irish mark is awarded.

For Irish small businesses choosing a website host, this matters. When you host with Web60, your money stays in Ireland, supports Irish employment, and is managed by a local team who genuinely understand the Irish market. You are not sending your hosting fees to a multinational — you are supporting an Irish company that has been operating since 2020.

SmartHost Web Services Limited has been based in Maynooth, Co. Kildare since its founding. Our team is based in Ireland, our infrastructure is in Ireland, and our support is provided from Ireland. The Guaranteed Irish membership is an independent confirmation of what we have always been — a genuinely Irish company.
