N-SIDE renews ISO 27001 certification and transitions to the 2022 standard

N-SIDE successfully renewed its ISO 27001 certification and transitioned to the latest version of the framework, ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to information management security and operational excellence for our global internal and external stakeholders. 

Strengthening our security posture globally

At N-SIDE, the security and integrity of our customers’ data and operations are top priorities. By renewing our certification under ISO/IEC 27001:2022, N-SIDE reinforces its position as a trusted technology and services partner building on its first ISO27001certification obtained in 2023 under the 2013 standard. The updated standard brings important enhancements to address today’s dynamic threat landscape, including:

1. Cloud Services Management
   Strengthening governance over cloud environments to ensure secure, efficient operations.
2. Threat Intelligence
   Enabling proactive identification and mitigation of emerging security threats.
3. ICT Readiness for Business Continuity
   Enhancing resilience against disruptions and boosting disaster recovery capabilities.
4. Configuration Management
   Establishing robust measures to maintain system integrity and prevent misconfigurations.
5. Data Leakage Prevention
   Implementing additional controls to safeguard sensitive information against unauthorized access or exfiltration.

These refinements pave the way for more comprehensive protection of data and systems, ensuring that N-SIDE and our customers can adapt and innovate securely in an ever-evolving digital environment.

Another highlight of our renewed certification process is the expansion of its scope. While our U.S. Boston office and our headquarters in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, were already encompassed in the original certification; we have now extended it to our Japan office, established in Tokyo. This addition ensures a unified global standard of information security across all global N-SIDE locations
