Leafcloud is happy to announce that we’ve been recertified as ISO27001 compliant. This milestone shows our continued commitment to keeping things safe and secure, year after year.
What’s an ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 - also known as ISMS (Information Security Management System) - is the global benchmark for information security management. This certification confirms our systems and processes meet rigorous requirements for data protection and allows our partners and clients to enjoy peace of mind when it comes to how their data is handled.
Information Security
Information security is important for several reasons. It ensures that:
- Confidential information remains private and is only accessible to authorized persons (confidentiality);
- Information is accurate and complete, and has not been tampered with or modified in any way (integrity);
- Information is available to those who need it when they need it (availability).
While most organizations implement security measures, these can lack coherence and systematic oversight. Individual controls tend to address specific issues rather than forming a comprehensive security framework. The ISO 27001 requires that:
- Thorough assessment of security risks, including threat analysis and impact evaluation
- Implementation of comprehensive, integrated security controls to address identified risks
- Development of an ongoing management process to ensure security measures remain effective and relevant
European Alternatives
European alternatives to big tech companies provide crucial strategic and operational advantages for European clients. They offer stronger alignment with EU data protection regulations like GDPR, ensuring compliant data handling without workarounds. Keeping data processing within EU jurisdiction provides enhanced sovereignty and security. For businesses, working with European providers often means more responsive support in local time zones, clearer understanding of regional business practices, and simplified regulatory compliance processes.
