CybaVerse has successfully achieved ISO 27001 recertification, independently audited and certified by BSI.
We've held ISO 27001 certification for a number of years, and maintaining it is an important part of how we operate as a cyber security business.
Recertification means demonstrating that the processes, controls and standards behind our Information Security Management System (ISMS) continue to work as the business grows and changes. It's not just about having the right policies documented; it's about showing that they're being followed, reviewed and improved as part of the way we operate.
For us, that's exactly how it should be.
What ISO 27001 Actually Means
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management. It provides a framework for how organisations identify, manage and reduce information security risk across their people, processes and technology.
To achieve and maintain certification, organisations must:
- Establish and maintain a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS)
- Identify, assess and manage information security risks
- Implement appropriate security controls
- Monitor and review the effectiveness of those controls
- Continually improve how information security is managed
- Undergo independent auditing by an accredited certification body
As a cyber security company, ISO 27001 is more than a credential for us. We work with organisations that trust CybaVerse with important parts of their security operations, so having independently audited standards behind the way we manage our own security matters.
It's also about holding ourselves to the standards we expect from the organisations we work with.
Maintaining the Standard as CybaVerse Grows
One of the most important parts of recertification is demonstrating that your ISMS has kept pace with the business.
CybaVerse has changed significantly over our latest certification cycle. We've acquired SecureAck, continued to develop CybaOps, expanded our capabilities and grown our team, partner network and customer base.
With that growth comes more technology, more processes and a changing risk landscape. Our approach to information security has to evolve alongside it.
That's what the recertification process assesses. BSI looks beyond whether the correct documentation exists and examines whether information security is actively managed across the organisation.
What This Means for Our Customers and Partners
Our ISO 27001 certification provides another layer of assurance for the organisations that choose to work with CybaVerse.
-
Independent assurance of how we operate. Our approach to information security has been independently assessed against an internationally recognised standard, providing evidence that the appropriate processes and controls are in place across our business.
-
Greater confidence in the security supply chain. Organisations are under increasing pressure to understand the security posture of the vendors and partners they rely on. Our certification provides recognised evidence that information security risk is being formally managed within CybaVerse.
-
Support for due diligence and supplier assurance. For organisations operating in regulated or security-conscious environments, supplier security forms an important part of the wider compliance picture. ISO 27001 can help provide the assurance procurement teams, auditors and other stakeholders are looking for.
-
The same standards we expect from others. We spend every day helping organisations strengthen their security. Applying that same level of scrutiny to the way we operate internally is an important part of being a trusted cyber security partner.
"ISO 27001 recertification is important to us because the standards we talk about with customers and partners have to be reflected in the way we operate ourselves.
CybaVerse has grown significantly, and with that comes new technology, new processes and new risks to manage. Maintaining our certification gives us independent validation that our approach to information security continues to develop alongside the business.
It also gives the organisations working with us something tangible they can take back to their own stakeholders, auditors and boards as evidence of the standards we operate to."
Oliver Spence, Co-Founder & CEO, CybaVerse
Continuing to Raise the Standard
ISO 27001 is built around continual improvement, which means recertification doesn't mark the end of the process.
CybaVerse will continue to grow, CybaOps will continue to evolve and the security challenges facing the organisations we work with won't stay the same. Our approach to managing information security has to keep moving with all three.
Maintaining ISO 27001 gives our customers and partners independent assurance of the standards behind CybaVerse today, while the continual improvement behind it helps make sure those standards keep pace with where we're going next.
