One year after ISO 9001 certification, 4Days also achieves UNI EN ISO/IEC 27001 certification for the Information Security Management System (ISMS), with ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 extensions.
The achievement marks a significant milestone in the company's growth and strengthening process, both formal and substantive, which aims to guarantee its customers and users the best international standards in relation to the services and products offered.
The three new certifications obtained in relation to the design, development, and delivery of services related to the Truspace platform focus on an aspect that is more crucial than ever cybersecurity.
To make a comment on this new milestone, Rita Boldarino who, as CFO of 4Days, supported the company in this additional step in the process of validating its services.
Let's have clarity: what themes do the certifications obtained insist on?
Rita Boldarino: “The ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications are three key certifications for a company developing Information Technology services in the cloud because they cover information security management.
In particular, the ISO 27001 defines the requirements for an Information Security Management System. that helps organizations protect sensitive information with a systematic approach to risk management, with full assurance of data confidentiality, integrity and availability.
ISO 27017 and ISO 27018, extension of ISO 27001, instead, they provide specific guidelines for information security in cloud services, including additional specifications to counter threats and risks specific to cloud computing.
These are certifications that insist on the personal data protection in public cloud services, providing guidelines for handling personal information and ensuring that users' data are handled securely and in accordance with privacy regulations.”
What are the main implications for 4Days of this result?
Rita Boldarino: “All certification paths first and foremost help to align one's work to highest standards, improving the organization's operational efficiency and raising the quality of service design and management. In this case, adopting best practices for information security management has meant that 4Days has developed more efficient processes and more effective risk management.
Specifically ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications offer numerous benefits for organizations in terms of information security and data management, ensuring full regulatory compliance.
In fact, adopting an ISO 27001-compliant information security management system helps protect sensitive data from all threats, reducing the risk of breaches.”
What, on the other hand, is the impact on customers?
Rita Boldarino: “The impact on customers is direct. In fact, the certifications apply internationally and are concrete proof of the company's commitment to ensuring full security of the information and personal data it processes. In particular, ISO 27017 and 27018 ensure transparency and credibility of the cloud services offered, reassuring customers about the security of their data.
A requirement, this one, that is fundamental for the users who use the platform today Truspace, even more necessary if the user is the Public Administration, an entity increasingly at the forefront of CDE adoption to ensure BIM management of procurement in compliance with mandatory regulations. Truspace is, in fact, due to its high standards, present as a CDE in the ACN- Agency for National Cybersecurity marketplace”.
What about with respect to the target market?
Rita Boldarino: “There is no doubt that certifications also give a competitive advantage in all relevant markets, national and international, public and private. Truspace can offer the guarantee of high standards confirmed by third parties in the certification process. In addition to being a plus, this is also a source of pride with respect to the company's journey to date.”
