After months of planning, hard work, and audits, Ontra’s Security, Engineering, and Product teams have helped Ontra receive ISO 27001:2022 certification!
ISO 27001 is an international standard with the goal of safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, which means:
- Confidentiality: Only authorized individuals have access to information.
- Integrity: Accurate and complete information is protected and maintained.
- Availability: Authorized users can access information whenever needed.
Ontra joins a league that includes some of the largest companies managing sensitive customer data, such as Microsoft, Apple, JP Morgan Chase, and AT&T, which have obtained ISO 27001 certification.
What is ISO 27001 certification?
ISO 27001 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). ISO 27001 certification can only be achieved through an independent audit conducted by an accredited third-party organization.
This international standard is designed to help organizations manage and protect their information assets in a systematic and efficient way. It is part of the broader ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, which covers various aspects of information security management.
At its core, ISO 27001 provides a framework that helps organizations identify their security risks, implement appropriate security controls, and ensure that these controls are effective over time.
Why does ISO 27001 matter?
In today’s digital landscape, where cyberthreats are on the rise, businesses are increasingly prioritizing data security and privacy.
For our customers, partners, and employees, the ISO 27001 certification offers a clear assurance that their sensitive data is handled with the utmost care, minimizing the risk of any breaches.
Benefits of ISO 27001 certification
