We are proud to announce that DiliTrust has just renewed its ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification on information security management systems and is pleased to have added ISO 27701:2019 certification on privacy protection.

What are ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications?

ISO 27001 is an international standard that sets a benchmark for information security management systems in a company (ISMS).

ISO 27701 certification is important for a SaaS company such as DiliTrust, as it provides a framework for implementing and maintaining a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). This extension helps us comply with data protection regulations, empower our customers' data protection and officially demonstrate our commitment to protecting the personal data privacy of all our customers and partners.

Security is our DNA

Innovation means we need to adapt to the reality of our markets and customers at every level. That is why implementing a data privacy management program (DPMP) is essential to operate effectively in the modern digital economy, such a program is also crucial for all of our customers and the data we are responsible for, as well as for our company.

According to the 2022 Cost of Data Breach Report by IBM, 83% of companies experienced more than one data breach last year and 45% of those breaches occurred in the Cloud. Of these violations, 60% resulted in price increases for customers.

This is exactly what DiliTrust wants to avoid and why we consider both certifications to be pillars for our company. Security and compliance are part of our DNA.

The ISO 27701 certification guarantees that we have implemented a privacy management system that meets international standards (i.e. GPDR or CCPA) and that we are committed to protecting our customers' data.
