What is ISO 27001 and why does it matter?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management. It specifies a framework of policies and procedures that organisations must implement to manage sensitive data securely. By achieving certification, Pledge has proven that their systems, processes, and controls meet the stringent requirements of this standard.

• Implements robust security measures to protect sensitive information.
• Proactively identifies and mitigates risks to ensure data integrity.
• Continuously improves systems to stay ahead of evolving security challenges.

A thorough and rigorous process

Earning ISO 27001 certification is no small feat. Their systems underwent a comprehensive, multi-stage audit conducted by a leading independent certification body. The audit evaluated every aspect of their ISMS, including:

• Leadership commitment to security policies and objectives.
• Risk assessment and treatment processes.
• Implementation of advanced security controls.
• Monitoring, measurement, and continual improvement practices.

They are thrilled to report zero non-conformities were identified during the audit, underscoring the maturity and effectiveness of their security practices.
