Why ISO certification matters when choosing a cloud based collaboration platform
Data security isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a commitment.
In today’s digital world, where data breaches and cyber threats are on the rise, businesses need more than just promises from their cloud providers. They need proof that their sensitive information is handled with the highest level of security. That’s where ISO 27001 certification comes in.
At Tresorit, security is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have successfully passed our surveillance audit for ISO 27001:2022 certification — a globally recognized standard that validates our ongoing commitment to protecting customer data. But what does this mean for you, and why should you care when choosing a collaboration platform? Let’s break it down.
What is ISO 27001, and why does it matter?
ISO 27001 is an international gold standard for information security management. It sets strict requirements for how companies identify risks, implement safeguards, and continuously improve their security practices to protect sensitive data from threats like cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access.
Getting ISO 27001 certified isn’t just about passing an audit — it’s about embedding security into a company’s DNA. It requires:
✔ Continuous risk assessment to stay ahead of new threats
✔ Strict access controls to protect sensitive data
✔ Regular security updates and monitoring to ensure compliance
✔ Ongoing audits and improvements to maintain high standards
For businesses handling confidential customer information, financial data, or intellectual property, working with an ISO 27001-certified provider means peace of mind — knowing their data is protected by industry-leading security measures.
More than a one-time achievement: Security is a continuous effort
ISO 27001 certification isn’t something you get once and forget about. It’s a three-year certification cycle, requiring annual surveillance audits to ensure companies don’t just maintain but continuously improve their security measures.
At Tresorit, we don’t see security as a static goal — it’s an ongoing journey. That’s why, when the updated ISO 27001:2022 standard was released, we took the opportunity to align with the latest requirements as quickly as possible. In early 2023, we began updating our security protocols and by February 2024, we successfully completed the recertification process. We also passed our surveillance audit this spring.
Why ISO 27001 matters for your business
It reinforces trust
When you share sensitive business data, you need to trust that your cloud provider has the right security in place. ISO 27001 certification proves that Tresorit doesn’t just meet security standards — we exceed them.
It’s essential for regulated industries
If you operate in finance, healthcare, or legal services, security and compliance are non-negotiable. Many regulatory frameworks require working with ISO 27001-certified providers to ensure the highest level of data protection.
It gives you a competitive advantage
Your customers care about data security. Choosing an ISO 27001-certified cloud provider like Tresorit helps you demonstrate your commitment to protecting their data, giving you an edge over competitors that don’t meet the same rigorous standards.
Security is a journey, not a destination
At Tresorit, renewing our ISO 27001:2022 certification is just one step in our ongoing mission to provide the most secure cloud collaboration solutions. Cyber threats are always evolving, and so are we. That’s why we’re committed to staying ahead of risks, continuously improving our security measures, and ensuring that your data is protected — now and in the future.
