Exciting news on the frontier of security certification and the delivery of the gold-standard of services delivered by the Cyrex team. After the 3 year certification process, we’re proud to say that the Cyrex team is an official holder of the ISO27001 security certificate.  

What exactly is the ISO27001 Certificate?

The ISO27001, formally known as the ISO/IEC27001:2022, and informally known as the ISO27-1, or the ISO27k, the certificate has many names and titles! First and foremost, it is the international standard to manage information security. In securing the certificate for our team it means that we have delivered our services in the necessary framework and following the correct guidelines in establishing, implementing, and managing information security management systems.  

What does it mean for Cyrex and our Clients?

The latest standard, as of 2022, is an important milestone for the Cyrex team and means a lot to have this international recognition of the quality of service delivered by us. The scope of the certificate covers all security and development services which means our entire service offering is included under this impressive banner.  

What this means is we can display this ISO certified stamp, marking us as a team who takes the quality and execution of our services seriously. The baseline for our delivery is now defined by a rigorous international standard which we have been proud to deliver for many years. It’s important to us, as a cybersecurity team, to know that we have been performing our duties correctly and properly to the right standard of the international security community.  

This third-party audit process shows our gold-standard offering isn’t just gold foil wrapped around our services but a real solid gold delivery of quality. Our customers, clients, and partners can now see an internationally vetted stamp showing that any data trusted to us will remain secure at all times.  

Most importantly, this is a reassurance to those engaging or considering engaging with our white box penetration testing services. Given the trust involved in handing over your source code, this is an extra reassurance of our commitment to security and quality of work.   

Tim De Wachter, Founder & CTO of Cyrex said, “We are extremely proud for the recommendation this gives. It confirms we’re operating at a high level and are delivering the gold-standard of security that we always aim for.  

The Process of Certification

A three-year process of audits awaits any seeking to achieve this certificate. A significant audit begins the process of your entire company and operations. Over the next two years, several check-in audits are performed to see how your team is adapting to the feedback from the initial audit. Finally, at the end, a full re-audit occurs! If you pass all of these, you are certified.   

This is related to anything that comes through security in the broad sense, focusing on information security, risk management, cyber-resilience, and operational excellence.  

To pass these audits, you must display a high quality of delivery in the processes, policies, and procedures surrounding the security level. Of course, once this process is completed, we begin the audits again! It is a constantly revolving process to ensure that our standards never drop and that our team are always seeking to improve and uphold newer, evolving standards and quality.
