At Referoo, your security and privacy have always been our top priority. We’re excited to announce that we’ve achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the international standard for information security management. This is a big step in demonstrating our commitment to keeping your data safe and secure, now and in the future.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the globally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It sets out the criteria for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing and improving an organisation’s information security practices. Being ISO 27001 certified means we’ve gone through a rigorous process to ensure that the data we handle is managed securely and with the highest level of care, meeting both national and international standards.
What does this mean for you?
ISO 27001 certification is more than just a formal recognition – it means your sensitive information is better protected than ever. Here’s what it means for you:
Stronger Security Measures
We’ve implemented industry-leading security controls to make sure your data is shielded from threats, breaches and unauthorised access.
Global Compliance
We’re now fully aligned with global best practices in information security management, meaning we meet the highest standards of data protection worldwide.
Peace of Mind
With ISO 27001 certification, you can rest easy knowing your data is handled with the utmost care and attention, backed by a certified, trusted security framework.
How did we get here?
Becoming ISO 27001 certified isn’t a quick fix – it’s a comprehensive process that took time, effort and attention to detail across our entire organisation. Here’s what we did:
- Risk Assessment and Security Audit
We started with an in-depth review of our existing systems to identify risks and vulnerabilities, ensuring we had the right measures in place to manage and mitigate them.
- Strengthening Our Security Framework
We put in place a robust information security management system (ISMS), implementing new policies, processes and technology to keep your data safe at all times.
- Training and Awareness
It’s not just about the technology – our team was trained to follow best practices and maintain a security-conscious mindset every day, ensuring that security is embedded into everything we do.
- Rigorous External Review
Finally, our systems were independently audited by experts to confirm that our security measures met ISO 27001 standards. And we passed with flying colours!
