Certification success driven by partnership, structured process, and a smart compliance platform.

LONDON, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Geoactive, a leading geoscience software company, has successfully achieved ISO 27001 certification, marking a significant milestone in its information security journey. The achievement was made possible through a strategic collaboration with TechForce Cyber and the implementation of ISMS.online‘s purpose-built compliance platform.

“Working with TechForce and ISMS.online has made our journey smoother, faster, and far more effective than doing it alone. It’s going to become more and more a fundamental part of how we run our security organisation and its governance.”

Operating in a highly specialised and data-sensitive environment, Geoactive recognised the need to enhance its information security posture in line with global best practices. With customers spanning the global oil and gas industry, the company’s priority was to align with the latest ISO 27001:2022 standards while maintaining agility and operational focus.

“Security and trust are absolutely central to our product and business,” said Malcolm Brown, Global Security Officer & IT Manager at Geoactive. “We didn’t have everything fully documented, but TechForce helped us structure and develop what we needed in a way that made sense for the business and stood up to audit standards. The risk matrix was particularly brilliant—very visual, very easy to present to senior management. It helped us focus on what matters and gave us confidence in our approach.”

Geoactive turned to ISMS.online for its clear, pre-configured platform, and to TechForce Cyber for implementation guidance that balanced rigour with flexibility. This powerful combination enabled a smooth, fast-tracked path to certification.

“Our platform is designed to simplify complex compliance, giving teams like Geoactive a head start with built-in guidance, automation, and audit-ready tools,” said Sam Peters, Chief Product Officer at ISMS.online. “We’re proud to see our technology support organisations in embedding real, sustainable security practices.”

ISMS.online’s comprehensive feature set—including a risk management dashboard, attestation tracking, and GDPR alignment—played a critical role in maintaining structure and transparency throughout the project.

For implementation, Geoactive chose TechForce Cyber based on its reputation for tailored support, deep ISO 27001 expertise, and hands-on delivery. From structured weekly meetings to documentation reviews and stakeholder engagement, TechForce ensured steady progress while minimising internal strain.

“We pride ourselves on translating complex security frameworks into practical, business-friendly solutions,” said Jai Aenugu, Founder and CEO of TechForce Cyber. “The Geoactive team were incredibly engaged and focused—we were pleased to support them in building a sustainable and audit-ready security posture.”

Key outcomes from the collaboration included:

40% reduction in internal workload during documentationTimely, successful ISO 27001 certificationStronger executive visibility and risk ownershipClear, repeatable processes for long-term compliance

Brown added: “Working with TechForce and ISMS.online has made our journey smoother, faster, and far more effective than doing it alone. It’s going to become more and more a fundamental part of how we run our security organisation and its governance.”

Geoactive is now looking to expand its use of ISMS.online for GDPR and business continuity, supporting a future-proof security and compliance model.

Trial Attorney Clint Zalas of South Bend Explains Why Cases Often Take Longer Than Expected for HelloNation

Published

on

By

SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why do personal injury cases take longer than many people expect? A HelloNation article answers this question with insights from Personal Injury Attorney Clint Zalas of Lee & Zalas, P.C. in South Bend. The article explains that while delays can feel frustrating, the personal injury case timeline often protects injured individuals by ensuring accuracy and fairness in the settlement process.

The first factor the article discusses is investigation. A strong case requires photographs, medical records, witness statements, and sometimes expert evaluations. Collecting and reviewing this accident recovery evidence takes time, but it strengthens the foundation of the claim. If attorneys or claimants rush through this stage, they risk weakening the case and limiting the eventual injury settlement.

Medical treatment delays also extend the personal injury case timeline. According to the HelloNation article, the true scope of injuries often reveals itself over weeks or months. Recovery may require physical therapy, surgery, or long-term care. Settling before treatment concludes can prevent injured parties from recovering fair compensation for future expenses. Once finalized, an injury settlement cannot be reopened to account for additional medical costs or lost wages.

Insurance company negotiations create another layer of complexity. Adjusters carefully review claims, request documentation, and sometimes demand independent medical evaluations. Each exchange between the injured party and the insurer adds time. However, as the article explains, these negotiations help ensure that the settlement reflects the full cost of accident recovery rather than a rushed or incomplete figure.

The HelloNation feature warns against quick settlements. While they may feel satisfying at first, they often fail to cover long-term needs. For example, an injury that initially appears temporary may become chronic. Lost wages may continue if the person cannot return to work. By waiting, injured individuals make sure these realities factor into their personal injury litigation or settlement discussions.

Court schedules can also extend the process. If a case enters litigation, hearings, depositions, and trial dates must align with the court’s availability. This stage can be time-consuming, but it applies pressure on insurance companies to negotiate fairly. Many cases settle before trial, yet the possibility of litigation serves as an important safeguard in achieving full compensation.

The article highlights how expectations often differ from reality. Many people assume they will receive a check within weeks of filing a claim. In truth, personal injury law prioritizes fair compensation over speed. A thorough personal injury case timeline ensures that accident recovery costs, medical treatment delays, and future expenses are considered.

The HelloNation article also explains that rushing to accept an early offer can leave individuals paying for expenses they never anticipated. Quick settlements often fail to account for ongoing therapy, future surgeries, or extended time away from work. Building a complete case with medical documentation and evidence, though time-consuming, gives claimants the strongest chance of receiving a fair settlement.

Patience plays a key role throughout the process. The article states that waiting allows the injured person, their attorney, and the insurance company to see the full impact of the accident. While the delays can feel difficult, they ultimately protect the injured party from being pressured into unfair agreements. In personal injury litigation, accuracy ensures justice, even if it requires more time.

The article concludes that while a long personal injury case timeline can surprise claimants, it serves an important purpose. By gathering strong evidence, completing medical treatment, and negotiating thoroughly with the insurance company, injured people give themselves the best chance at full and fair compensation. A slower process often delivers a more secure outcome.

The full article, titled Why Personal Injury Cases Often Take Longer Than Expected, features the expertise of Personal Injury Expert Clint Zalas of Lee & Zalas, P.C. in South Bend and appears on HelloNation.

Surfshark enhances its proprietary Dausos protocol to boost connectivity

Published

on

By

VILNIUS, Lithuania, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Surfshark, a leading privacy protection company, has released a major upgrade to its proprietary VPN protocol, Dausos. This latest update drastically improves accessibility, connectivity rates, and network compatibility for users worldwide.

The primary focus of this update is to address the barriers on highly managed networks. Previously, users might have experienced difficulties connecting to Dausos on strict institutional firewalls — such as those found in schools, universities, and corporate environments. With this release, Surfshark has successfully implemented specialized network fixes, ensuring that Dausos has a better connectivity rate for users connecting in these environments.

“We want as many people as possible to experience the power of Dausos, which is why continuous improvement is our priority,” says Karolis Kaciulis, Leading System Engineer at Surfshark. “Responding directly to user feedback, this update fixes the connectivity issues some experienced in certain network environments.”

Surfshark Dausos: key benefits of the new protocol

Surfshark’s proprietary Dausos protocol revolutionizes the consumer VPN industry by delivering up to 30% faster speeds than current industry standards while future-proofing user privacy for the quantum era.

Unlike traditional VPNs that consolidate traffic through a single interface, Dausos is an audited architecture that automatically isolates user data into its own dedicated, private digital tunnel, eliminating packet interference and optimizing performance based on real-time network conditions.

On the security front, Dausos establishes full post-quantum security by utilizing a hybrid ML-KEM*X25519 key exchange and an advanced ML-DSA self-signed root certificate system to protect against future quantum computing threats. Furthermore, the protocol goes beyond standard security measures by integrating post-compromise security (ensuring compromised keys cannot leak future session data), port randomization to obscure connection paths, and high-speed AEGIS-256X2 cryptographic encryption for robust data integrity.

ABOUT SURFSHARK

Surfshark is a cybersecurity company offering products including an audited VPN, certified antivirus, data leak warning system, private search engine, and a tool for generating an online identity. Recognized as a leading VPN by CNET and TechRadar, Surfshark has also been featured on the FT1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies ranking. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Surfshark has offices in Lithuania and Poland. For information on Surfshark’s operations and highlights, read our Annual Wrap-up.
