Our information security now has an official seal of approval
What does ISO 27001 mean?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines requirements for the establishment, implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement of a documented ISMS. The aim is to systematically guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
These three protection goals are central: confidentiality means that information is only accessible to authorised people, and unauthorised access is prevented by appropriate measures. Integrity ensures that data remains correct and complete, i.e. is protected against manipulation or unintentional changes. And availability means that information and IT systems are reliably available when needed – for example through emergency plans, backup concepts or technical fail-safes.
What exactly does the standard regulate?
The standard is technology-independent and applies across all industries. It offers companies a structured framework for managing information security strategically, systematically and comprehensibly. Among other things, ISO 27001 regulates:
- risk analysis and assessment regarding information security-related threats,
- the development and operation of a structured security concept,
- organisational and technical measures to minimise risk,
- roles, responsibilities and competences in the security context,
- the management of security incidents,
- training and awareness-raising measures for employees,
- as well as ongoing monitoring and improvement of security processes through internal audits and management reviews.

Information security is not a one-off project! It is based on technical solutions and processes that we are constantly developing. Our employees actively take responsibility, consistently pay attention to security-relevant aspects in their daily work and demonstrate a high degree of awareness and diligence. With the ISO 27001 certification, we also emphasise that at socoto, information security is a reality.
