View26 GmbH is delighted to announce that we are now ISO 27001 certified!.

Our Journey to an ISO 27001 Certified company

For the last year, amid COVID-19, we have been working on getting the Security Process streamlined at VIEW26. It all started with getting our Apps enrolled for the Atlassian Bug Bounty Program.Soon after, VIEW26 worked with URS to prepare for the ISO 27001 audit. The firm guided VIEW26 through an initial assessment of its existing processes and procedures to identify potential gaps, and provided continuous advice on how to address them.

It was an intensive, year-long process that demanded involvement and support from all members of our team. With the certification finally achieved, View26 is thrilled to reaffirm its commitment to meeting the highest security standards for our customers.

What is ISO 27001 Certification?

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary international certifications. The organization brings together experts to share knowledge and create what they describe as “consensus-based, market-relevant International Standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.”

ISO 27001 provides organizations like VIEW26 with a framework for managing their information and data. The ISO 27001 certification process typically involves a three-stage external audit process by ISO experts:.

Stage 1: An informal review in which auditors check for complete documentation of the organization’s security policy

Stage 2: Auditors work to confirm that the organization’s management system has been adequately designed and implemented according to ISO 27001 requirements

Follow-up: ISO 27001-certified organizations are regularly audited to verify that the security program complies with the standards.

As you can see, this process is long and exhaustive. Several people across the IT and Security functions here at VIEW26 deserve a round of applause for their work on our new ISO 27001 certification.

So, what does this mean for you?

This certification is additional proof of our commitment to information security. This certification demonstrates our commitment to information security, compliance, and regulation practices. It represents a great deal of work in ensuring our processes and technology are in line to mitigate risk and secure data for our customers.

It is a vital proof of assurance to our clients that we are taking necessary steps to establish a formal information risk management process and a functioning ISMS or Information Security Risk Management System.

More importantly, being an ISO 27001 certified company demonstrates our commitment to make information security one of our utmost priorities.
