This accomplishment, marked by an audit with zero findings, showcases our dedication to information security, data protection, and quality through maintaining robust security systems and reliable processes.
What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Achieving this certification involves implementing a robust set of policies, procedures, and controls to safeguard data assets against potential threats, vulnerabilities, and breaches. Compliance with ISO 27001 signifies a company’s ability to implement and maintain robust security measures that align with international best practices, enhancing trust among stakeholders.

Attaining ISO 27001 certification embodies InsiderSecurity’s commitment to protecting data, fortifying our infrastructure against cyber threats, and maintaining the trust of customers and stakeholders. This certification demonstrates:
- Commitment to security: ISO27001 certification demonstrates our dedication to robust security measures and our capability to safeguard sensitive information.

The rigorous ISO/IEC 27001 certification process
Our journey towards ISO 27001 certification was marked by meticulous planning and collective efforts across all departments. The process involved an in-depth analysis of the risk profile and existing security measures. To align with ISO 27001 standards, we implemented stringent policies and controls, guided by the framework’s 114 controls across 14 distinct categories outlined in ISO 27001 Annex A.
Throughout the certification process, several requirements needed to be met. This process enabled us to fortify existing policies and controls, ensuring an elevated level of security aligned with the expectations of our customers and external stakeholders. Here are some of the controls we have in place to meet ISO27001 requirements:
- MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution for endpoint
- EDR (Endpoint Detect and Response) solution for endpoint
- DLP (Data leakage prevention) solution for endpoint
- Physical security in the office compound
- Inventories and asset tracking process
- Secure Software Development Life Cycle
- Secret management process
- Formal due diligence process to assess the security risk of our suppliers
- Staff cybersecurity training process
Our existing security solutions, like Automated UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) and CSX, helped us detect any unusual activity in our cloud systems, meeting the logging and monitoring requirements of the ISO 27001 standard. After the grueling certification process, we completed the audit with zero findings.
