We are thrilled to announce that Jishu Labs has successfully achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification, the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This achievement represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing our clients with the highest levels of data security, privacy, and operational excellence.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the globally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this framework provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company and customer information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The certification process involves rigorous third-party audits of our security policies, procedures, and controls. Independent auditors evaluate everything from access controls and encryption practices to employee training and incident response capabilities.
Why ISO 27001 Matters for Our Clients
In today's digital landscape, data security isn't just a checkbox—it's a critical business requirement. As a software development partner, we handle sensitive client information, intellectual property, and proprietary code daily. ISO 27001 certification provides our clients with:
- Independent verification that our security controls meet international standards
- Assurance that we follow structured processes for identifying and managing security risks
- Confidence that their data and intellectual property are protected with industry-leading practices
- Evidence of our commitment to continuous security improvement and compliance
- Peace of mind when entrusting us with mission-critical development projects
Our Information Security Management System
Achieving ISO 27001 certification required implementing a comprehensive ISMS that addresses all aspects of information security across our organization:
- Systematic risk assessment methodology for all projects and systems
- Regular risk reviews and updates as threats evolve
- Risk treatment plans with clearly defined controls and responsibilities
- Continuous monitoring of risk indicators and security events
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all system access
- Role-based access control (RBAC) following least-privilege principles
- Regular access reviews and prompt deprovisioning
- Strong password policies and credential management
- Detailed audit logs of all access and changes
- Mandatory security awareness training for all team members
- Regular updates on emerging threats and attack vectors
- Phishing simulation exercises to test and improve awareness
- Specialized training for developers on secure coding practices
- Clear security policies and procedures accessible to all staff
- Defined incident response procedures and escalation paths
- 24/7 security monitoring and alerting
- Regular incident response drills and tabletop exercises
- Post-incident review and continuous improvement process
- Clear communication protocols for client notification when appropriate
Complementing Our SOC 2 Compliance
ISO 27001 certification builds upon our existing SOC 2 Type II compliance, creating a comprehensive security framework. While SOC 2 focuses on controls relevant to service organizations, ISO 27001 provides an enterprise-wide ISMS covering all aspects of our business operations.
Together, these certifications demonstrate our holistic approach to security—from technical controls and development practices to organizational policies and continuous improvement. Our clients benefit from dual-certified security that meets both American (SOC 2) and international (ISO 27001) standards.
Our Certification Journey
Achieving ISO 27001 certification was a comprehensive effort involving our entire organization. The journey included:
- Gap analysis against ISO 27001 requirements
- Development and documentation of security policies and procedures
- Implementation of technical and organizational controls
- Internal audits to verify control effectiveness
- Staff training on new policies and procedures
- External audit by accredited certification body
- Remediation of findings and final certification audit
This rigorous process took several months and required dedication from teams across the organization. The result is a mature, battle-tested ISMS that protects our clients and positions Jishu Labs as a trusted security partner.
Continuous Improvement and Surveillance
ISO 27001 certification isn't a one-time achievement—it requires ongoing commitment to security excellence. We undergo annual surveillance audits to maintain our certification, ensuring our ISMS remains effective as our business evolves and new threats emerge.
We've established processes for continuous security improvement, including regular risk assessments, control effectiveness reviews, and incorporation of lessons learned from security events and industry trends. Our goal is not just maintaining compliance, but constantly raising our security posture.
