Validaide Passes First Surveillance Audit for ISO 27001: A Milestone in Information Security Excellence

Updated: December 2024

We are proud to announce that Validaide successfully passed its first surveillance audit for ISO 27001:2022 in December 2024, achieving zero findings. This achievement reinforces our commitment to information security and highlights our ongoing efforts to maintain the highest standards in protecting sensitive data.

This milestone builds on our initial ISO 27001:2022 certification, obtained in December 2023, and reflects our continuous dedication to strengthening our Information Security Management System (ISMS).

What is ISO 27001 Certification?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. Certification demonstrates that Validaide has adopted effective measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

What Does Passing the First Surveillance Audit with Zero Findings Mean for Our Customers?

Passing the first surveillance audit with zero findings is a significant validation of Validaide’s strong security framework and ongoing commitment to excellence. This means we continue to provide:

• Enhanced Security Measures: Rigorous and continually updated security controls to identify, manage, and mitigate risks.

• Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Full adherence to relevant laws and regulations regarding data protection and information security.

• Continuous Improvement: A proactive approach to refining our security practices and staying ahead of emerging threats.

Mark Bijl, Validaide’s CTO, shares:

"Obtaining ISO 27001 certification in 2023 was a critical milestone for Validaide, and it was particularly rewarding to have only two OFIs at the time. Now, having completed the first surveillance audit in 2024 with zero findings is just a great testament to our team’s diligence and commitment. It demonstrates our ability to uphold high standards of information security and our dedication to meeting customer expectations in that area. The fact that we automated many of our compliance activities using the Vanta compliance automation solution should be noted, as it offers us a form of CC - Continuous Compliance – with great efficiency benefits."
