Com­mit­ted to secu­ri­ty — Islet is now ISO 27001 certified

ISO 27001 is an inter­na­tion­al­ly rec­og­nized stan­dard for Infor­ma­tion Secu­ri­ty Man­age­ment Sys­tems (ISMS). It pro­vides a frame­work for man­ag­ing sen­si­tive com­pa­ny and cus­tomer infor­ma­tion, ensur­ing data con­fi­den­tial­i­ty, integri­ty, and availability.

Our path to ISO 27001 certification

This achieve­ment is the result of a mul­ti-year jour­ney of con­tin­u­ous improve­ment and reflects our ongo­ing com­mit­ment to excel­lence, con­tin­u­ous improve­ment, and infor­ma­tion security.

Our jour­ney began with the imple­men­ta­tion of a Qual­i­ty Man­age­ment Sys­tem (QMS), in line with the ISO 9001 stan­dard. This required a com­pre­hen­sive assess­ment and doc­u­men­ta­tion of our inter­nal process­es. More than just ensur­ing com­pli­ance, we went through all our cur­rent prac­tices and process­es and iden­ti­fied areas for improve­ment. We suc­cess­ful­ly obtained our ISO 9001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in Decem­ber 2023.

Build­ing on this foun­da­tion, we expand­ed our focus to envi­ron­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty by devel­op­ing an Envi­ron­men­tal Man­age­ment Sys­tem (EMS). Sus­tain­abil­i­ty has always been a key val­ue at Islet, and our goal was clear: reduce our car­bon foot­print and off­set all his­tor­i­cal emis­sions. To meet ISO 14001 stan­dards, we defined clear envi­ron­men­tal objec­tives and imple­ment­ed action­able, trans­par­ent plans. This led us to evolve our qual­i­ty man­age­ment sys­tem into an inte­grat­ed qual­i­ty and envi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment sys­tem, mak­ing envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion an inte­grat­ed part of all our process­es and oper­a­tions. In Decem­ber 2024, we obtained our ISO 14001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly renew­ing our ISO 9001 certification.

Our next goal was to incor­po­rate infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty as the third ele­ment into our inte­grat­ed man­age­ment sys­tem. Achiev­ing ISO 27001 demand­ed more than doc­u­ment­ed process­es — it required the prac­ti­cal imple­men­ta­tion of secu­ri­ty con­trols and an adap­tive approach to the evolv­ing IT landscape

This involved:

• A thor­ough assess­ment of infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty risks.
• Improve­ment of our cur­rent asset, access, and inci­dent man­age­ment processes.
• Redesign­ing our inter­nal aware­ness pro­grams on infor­ma­tion security.
• Estab­lish­ment of a robust inter­nal mon­i­tor­ing system.

Each cer­ti­fi­ca­tion rep­re­sents not just a goal, but a trans­for­ma­tive jour­ney. These mile­stones have helped us rec­og­nize our strengths, iden­ti­fy areas for improve­ment, and evolve the way we oper­ate. While cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is an achieve­ment, it’s not the end.

At Islet, we view these sys­tems as tools for con­tin­u­ous devel­op­ment. Our goal is to keep improv­ing our process­es and deep­en­ing aware­ness of qual­i­ty, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty through­out the organization.

What does ISO 27001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion mean for our stakeholders?

The ISO 27001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion brings long-term val­ue to Islet’s key stake­hold­ers, includ­ing employ­ees, cus­tomers, and part­ners. It assures that:

• Infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty objec­tives are clear­ly defined
• Infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty con­sid­er­a­tions are inte­grat­ed into our process­es and operations
• Risk man­age­ment and access con­trol mea­sures are in place
• Com­pli­ance with rel­e­vant reg­u­la­tions and agree­ments are active­ly maintained

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known stan­dard for infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty man­age­ment sys­tems (ISMS). It defines the require­ments an ISMS must meet. The ISO/IEC 27001 stan­dard pro­vides com­pa­nies of any size and from all sec­tors of activ­i­ty with guid­ance for estab­lish­ing, imple­ment­ing, main­tain­ing and con­tin­u­al­ly improv­ing an infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty man­age­ment sys­tem. Con­for­mi­ty with ISO/IEC 27001 means that an orga­ni­za­tion or busi­ness has put in place a sys­tem to man­age risks relat­ed to the secu­ri­ty of data owned or han­dled by the com­pa­ny, and that this sys­tem respects all the best prac­tices and prin­ci­ples enshrined in this Inter­na­tion­al Stan­dard.
