Why ISO 27001 Certification Matters

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that helps organizations protect sensitive information systematically and cost-effectively. The framework is built on several key components, including risk assessment, security controls, continuous monitoring, and incident response. It requires organizations to identify risks, implement security measures to mitigate them, and continuously evaluate and improve security practices. 

This certification has become an increasingly critical requirement for enterprise businesses purchasing software, as it provides reassurance that providers adhere to the most rigorous security standard and proactive data protection practices that help clients minimize risk and safeguard data integrity.

What This Means for You

This certification serves as an independently verified layer of assurance that Cortex holds ourselves accountable to the highest standards of data protection, and that our internal processes meet the rigorous demands of ISO 27001.

In short, Cortex.io’s ISO 27001 certification is more than a badge of honor—it’s our promise to our customers that they can rely on us for a secure, compliant, and resilient engineering management platform.
