ISO/IEC 27001 certification – a guarantee of information protection at Digital Gateways and subsidiary AIS Gateways
Confirmation of the highest level of information and data management activities is provided by the certification awarded by the International Organisation for Standardisation – ISO/IEC 27001. Digital Gateways and AIS Gateways with their wide range of onboarding products are among the companies awarded. Why is it important to obtain this certification?
The importance of information in trusted services
In the world of modern technology, information has become as much an asset as financial capital. It is essential to the running of any business. This raises the question of what can be done to handle it effectively and, at the same time, to ensure the security of each entity involved. After all, it is the basis of services such as KYC, financial and income verification, e-signature, which are widely used in banking, finance, insurance, telecommunications and other sectors.
ISO standards - so what are they exactly?
The International Organisation for Standardisation ISO is concerned with creating standards for many spheres of human activity. The regulations are the quintessence of the knowledge of specialists in a particular field. Due to the development of technology and expanding areas of data use, there was a need to create requirements for data processing, storage and protection.
ISO 27001 update
ISO 27001 was first published in 2005. It provides a set of best practices related to cyber security and data processing. The standards that comprise it are used by organisations around the world. For companies that use information collections on a daily basis, they should be the main recommendations to support their work. Based on them, it is possible to create a data security management system, i.e. procedures and strategies within an organisation. In 2022, an update to ISO 27001 emerged to respond to the changing needs of information processing and new threats to data, including interception by unauthorised parties.
What are the benefits of obtaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification?
There are a number of benefits for companies that have passed an ISO 27001 certification audit. Among the key benefits are:
- credibility – certified organisations are robust in terms of their operations. As a result, they build trust in the eyes of their customers and their products, as in the case of Digital Gateways and AIS Gateway, associated with customer onboarding, immediately evoke functionality and security,
- a guarantee of compliance with data privacy laws and other regulations,
- transparency of the company's policies for its employees – effective information management influences the efficiency of their duties.
Certification audit process
Before a company gets an ISO certificate, it has to go through a demanding procedure. All areas related to information management processes and their technical aspects are audited. Organisations must demonstrate the diligence of their operations and the care taken to protect the information they process. It is worth noting that even after just receiving certification, the work related to a company's management system does not end. Businesses must continually review their practices and develop them in line with changing customer needs and potential risks.
