What is ISO 27001 Certification?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It outlines how to build a secure, structured approach to protecting sensitive data, reducing risk, and meeting compliance obligations.

Whether you're scaling a SaaS platform or navigating complex vendor reviews, ISO 27001 certification shows you have the right controls, policies, and practices in place.

 

Why ISO 27001 Certification Matters for Your Business

Certification isn’t just about compliance—it’s about trust, credibility, and resilience. ISO 27001 shows customers, investors, and auditors that you take information security seriously and have the systems to prove it.

  • Defining the scope of your ISMS and setting objectives
  • Performing regular risk assessments and applying mitigation plans
  • Implementing security controls outlined in Annex A
  • Running ongoing reviews, audits, and performance evaluations
  • Continuously improving your security posture
