We are thrilled to share some fantastic news — KITRUM has officially achieved the ISO 27001:2022 certification in March 2025! This certification demonstrates our commitment to establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving our information security management system (ISMS).
Achieving protection excellence
Our journey to achieve this certification began in Q4 2023 when we conducted an audit and mapped out the accreditation process and execution roadmap. The active implementation started in Q1 2024 and continued until KITRUM passed the certification in Q1 2025. Such a long run reflects our significant effort to meet the rigorous standards of ISO 27001:2022.
A closer look at our enhanced security measures
ISO certification requires robust policies, procedures, and controls to manage information risks. To meet these requirements, we:
- Conducted a comprehensive risk assessment of potential information security vulnerabilities and leaks, focusing on our internal data, areas, assets, personnel, and physical security. Based on this analysis, we developed risk mitigation strategies for our Information Security Management System (ISMS).
- Ensured that our processes complied with over a hundred ISO 27001:2022 requirements, divided into Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological controls.
- Organizational controls. Included the general operation of ISMS (KPIs, goals, and improvements), along with the company’s commitments, roles and responsibilities, risk and incident management, and legal, statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements. Empowered the protection of the personally identifiable information (PII).
- People controls. Enabled secure screening, onboarding, offboarding procedures, information security awareness training for team members, education, and remote working policies. Conducted company-wide phishing simulations to identify potential vulnerabilities and enhance our awareness.
- Physical controls. Implemented strict security protocols for all company assets and devices used in the office or remotely to safeguard our digital environment.
- Technological controls. Enforced endpoint protection, data encryption, secure backup solutions so that all our information is safe, backed up, and renewable. Prioritized secure software development from development to deployment, including source code management, malware protection, antivirus solutions, advanced threat detection, web filtering, and network security.
Ultimately, we passed the certification audit on our first attempt and got the ISO 27001:2022 certificate.
