Discngine Achieves ISO 27001:2022 Certification: Enhancing Security and Trust for Our Customers
We are thrilled to announce that Discngine has successfully upgraded to the latest ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. This milestone is not just a mark of our ongoing commitment to cybersecurity and data protection but also a strategic step forward in enhancing the trust and satisfaction of our customers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences industries.
As we build upon our solid foundation of trust and security established with our ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, this updated 2022 certification not only reflects our continuous dedication to safeguarding our clients' data but also positions Discngine at the forefront of addressing the dynamic challenges of today's cybersecurity landscape.
Understanding ISO 27001:2022
Released in October 2022, the ISO 27001:2022 standard updates the previous version by introducing refinements that address the evolving landscape of technology and cybersecurity threats. This international standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). By adhering to these requirements, we ensure that our framework of policies, procedures, and controls effectively manages the risks associated with information security.
What the New Certification Means for Discngine
Discngine’s compliance with ISO 27001:2022 reflects our robust security practices in software development, customer support, and SaaS hosting of software solutions. Products like 3decision, Assay, Connector, and our custom applications hosted on Discngine Cloud Infrastructure are designed to meet stringent security standards, ensuring that they safeguard the sensitive data of our customers.
Key Upgrades in ISO 27001:2022 and Their Benefits
The transition to ISO 27001:2022 brings several significant enhancements:
Proactive Cybersecurity with Threat Intelligence: By integrating threat intelligence into our security approach, we shift from reacting to security incidents to preventing them. This proactive measure gives us deeper insights into potential cyber threats and enables us to implement effective countermeasures promptly.
Emphasis on Cloud Security: Recognizing the pivotal role of cloud services in today’s IT ecosystem, the new standard includes detailed guidelines for managing cloud-related security risks. This ensures that our customers can rely on us for secure access, usage, and management of cloud services.
Enhanced Data Privacy and Protection: With stricter controls on personal identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data, we are better equipped to protect against data breaches and other security incidents, ensuring compliance with global privacy regulations such as GDPR.
Strengthened Software Security Practices: Our commitment to secure software development is reinforced through rigorous coding standards and practices, minimizing vulnerabilities and enhancing the reliability of our software products.
