We are proud to announce that we have successfully expanded the scope of our ISO 27001 certification to include our Software Development Services business unit, while also upgrading to the latest ISO 27001:2022 standard. Having been certified since 2019, this achievement underlined our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in information security.
In today’s digital age, protecting sensitive data and ensuring the security of our processes is more critical than ever. This latest certification upgrade reflects our dedication to maintaining these standards and reinforces the trust our clients place in us.
What is ISO 27001:2022 and Why Is it Important?
ISO 27001 is an international standard that outlines the best practices for an information security management system (ISMS). The 2022 version addresses evolving cybersecurity needs and improves clarity in security management. These updates introduce new security controls, such as cloud security and threat intelligence, and it provides a comprehensive framework for reorganising and protecting sensitive information to align with evolving cybersecurity challenges, covering everything from people, physical, organisation and technology.
For businesses in software development, this update is crucial. We manage a wide range of sensitive information from intellectual property to client data. ISO 27001:2022 helps us continually to update policies, processes and standards to ensure safeguarding of the information. It provides a structured approach to identifying potential risks, implementing necessary safeguards, and maintaining the accuracy and integrity of data. By implementing this standard, we build stronger relationships with our clients, showing them that we take their information security seriously.
How ISO 27001:2022 Benefits Mitrais and Its Clients in Software Development
Achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification for our Software Development Services business unit at Mitrais offers significant advantages, both for our company and our clients. Here are four key benefits of this certification update:
- Commitment to Security and Risk Management
The upgrade to ISO 27001:2022 certification shows our dedication to protecting sensitive data. It means we are taking security risks seriously and managing them effectively, ensuring strong security practices.
- Systematic Threat Mitigation
With the updated standards, we have access to the latest tools and methodologies to systematically identify and mitigate potential security threats, ensuring robust protection of our clients’ information with industry-leading safeguards.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency
Streamlined processes driven by ISO 27001:2022 standards allow us to improve both security and efficiency. For example, clients can benefit from quicker onboarding and smoother project execution due to more efficient communication protocols and risk management, reducing costs while maintaining high security standards.
- Competitive Advantage and Client Trust
Upgrading to ISO 27001:2022 certification and expanding the certification scope gives us a significant competitive edge. It also provides our clients with the assurance that we adhere to rigid security protocols, reducing legal risks and enhancing their trust in our services.
Why Mitrais Chose to Pursue ISO 27001:2022 Certification
The decision to upgrade to ISO 27001:2022 standard and expand its coverage to include our Software Development Services business unit was driven by the growing demand for security in the industry in information security. With increasing regulations like GDPR in Europe, the Privacy Act in Australia, and the PDP law in Indonesia, businesses are increasingly focused on protecting personal and privileged information. By adopting ISO 27001:2022 ahead of schedule, we show that we are serious about this expectation.
As an international software development company, Mitrais works with a significant amount of sensitive information and ISO 27001:2022 provides a framework that helps us manage this information securely and responsibly. While we know that each organisation has its own requirements, it is our duty to ensure that all this information is properly managed and securely protected.
Trust and reputation are critical in our industry. While we have years of experience building and maintaining our reputation, ISO 27001 certification serves as concrete proof of our capabilities. It shows that we not only declare our commitment to security but also have the infrastructure, frameworks, and processes in place to back it up. This certification strengthens our reputation, assuring our partners and making it easier to grow our business and attract new clients.
How ISO 27001 Aligns with Mitrais’ Long-Term Goals
At Mitrais, our long-term strategy is centered on building and maintaining high-trust relationships with our clients. Information security is a key component of this. The upgrade to ISO 27001:2022 certification is more than just a compliance measure —it’s a strategic move that reinforces our commitment to excellence in security and trust.
ISO 27001:2002 is not a one-time achievement; it requires continuous improvement and regular audits to ensure ongoing alignment. At Mitrais, we conduct both formal and internal audits to evaluate our processes and policies, making necessary adjustments to stay aligned with the evolving needs of our clients and the industry.
In the rapidly changing industry, this ability to adapt and improve is crucial. The ISO 27001:2022 framework not only helps us maintain standards but also strengthens our ability to adapt to new security challenges, ensuring that we continue to provide secure, reliable, and high-quality services.
Conclusion
The inclusion of our Software Development Services business unit in the scope of our ISO 27001:2022 certification, coupled with our early adoption of ISO 27001:2022, is a significant milestone for Mitrais. This achievement reinforces our commitment to information security, trust, and continuous improvement.
As we move forward, we will continue to uphold the highest standards of information security, ensuring that our clients can trust us to protect their most valuable assets. With ISO 27001:2022 in place, Mitrais is better equipped to meet the challenges of the future, delivering secure, reliable, and high-quality software development services to clients around the world.
