1. What does it mean to be ISO 27001 certified?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management, originally established in 1995 and updated over time, including the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 version. It defines requirements for building and maintaining a certified Information Security Management System (ISMS).
For a B2B software provider, certifying against ISO 27001 demonstrates the ability to meet rigorous security requirements and protect customer data. It signals that security is not an afterthought, but a formally managed, audited, and continuously improved process.
To earn certification, an organization must implement an ISMS and undergo an independent audit. At Frontrol, we began preparations in March 2020 and successfully passed our certification audit in November 2020, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many customers ask about how we protect sensitive information. Prior to certification, security practices often needed to be defined and agreed upon separately for each project, creating inconsistency and uncertainty. ISO 27001 eliminates that ambiguity by establishing clear, standardized controls that are recognized and trusted worldwide.
ISO/IEC 27001 certification confirms that Frontrol operates with a mature risk-management framework and meets globally accepted information security standards. This provides our clients with confidence that their data is handled securely and responsibly.
2. Is ISO 27001 certification mandatory?
ISO/IEC 27001 certification is not legally required for software companies. A company can operate and design its own security controls without it. However, ISO 27001 provides a proven, globally recognized framework for managing information security. Organizations that follow the standard deliver a higher level of assurance to their clients, particularly when working with production data or sensitive business information.
Implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001 reduces security risks and enforces strong controls such as access management, infrastructure safeguards, and requirements for data availability, integrity, and confidentiality. These practices help prevent unauthorized access, data leaks, and service disruption.
For companies committed to mature security practices, ISO 27001 certification is a strategic investment. It strengthens credibility, supports business growth, and demonstrates that the organization is a reliable and trusted technology partner.
3. What are the benefits of ISO/IEC 27001 for our customers?
- Faster project kickoff because core security practices are already established and audited.
- Reliable data protection through a structured and continuously improved Information Security Management System (ISMS).
- Confidential information remains private thanks to formal access, communication, and handling controls.
- Security built into operations with best-practice processes aligned to international standards and tailored to your project needs.
- Compliance support for industries such as government, healthcare, and financial services that require strict information-security safeguards.
4. ISO certification – pick a company that has one
Frontrol is committed to operating at the highest quality standards. Along with ISO 27001 certification, we also hold ISO 9001:2015, which confirms that our Quality Management System (QMS) meets internationally recognized best practices. These certifications are not formalities; they demonstrate disciplined, consistent, and independently audited processes.
When evaluating technology partners, pay attention to their ISO credentials. Certification shows that the organization follows standardized procedures and has been verified by an external authority. It provides confidence that they deliver reliably, manage risk effectively, and prioritize continuous improvement.
While ISO 27001 focuses on information security and ISO 9001 focuses on quality management, together they create a comprehensive framework for predictable delivery, secure data handling, and efficient collaboration. Working with a partner who holds both standards ensures a stronger foundation for project success and long-term trust.
5. What’s next?
ISO certifications are valid for three years and require annual surveillance audits. That means we don’t “set it and forget it.” We continually improve our Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Quality Management System (QMS) to meet evolving risks and best practices.
Over the next cycle, our focus areas are:
- Continuous improvement: Regular risk assessments, control reviews, and corrective actions to strengthen security and quality baselines.
- Operational discipline: Ongoing staff training, internal audits, and management reviews to keep processes effective and accountable.
- Customer assurance: Clear evidence of control performance, faster security reviews, and consistent delivery quality.
Frontrol holds ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and ISO 9001:2015 for quality. Together, these frameworks support secure, predictable execution across internal operations and client engagements.
