Devillard obtains ISO 27001 certification!
We are pleased to announce that we have recently obtained ISO 27001 certification, the most widely recognised standard for information security management.
What is ISO 27001?
With the rise of cybercrime and the constant emergence of new threats, managing cyber risks and threats can seem difficult for businesses.
As the international benchmark for information security management systems (ISMS), ISO 27001 helps organisations become aware of risks and proactively identify and address their gaps.
This certification defines the requirements an organisation must meet to identify its information risks, implement appropriate measures and ensure continuous improvement.
In practice, ISO 27001 certification is more than just a label; it builds trust: it eases contractual relationships, simplifies compliance processes for regulated markets and gives clients a tangible measure of how seriously we manage risk. For Devillard, it is also a driver of continuous improvement: the certificate is not an end in itself, but a framework that pushes us to stay vigilant and constantly adapt our defences to new threats.
Obtaining the certification
After many months of preparation and implementation, this certification issued by Certi-Trust confirms that Devillard operates, for its clients and partners, a rigorous data protection system that complies with the most demanding international standards for security and risk management.
Obtaining ISO 27001 certification is the result of several months of rigorous work. We strengthened our internal and external processes, documented our practices and tested our security measures to demonstrate to an independent external auditor the effectiveness of our management system and our ability to manage information security risks.
As you will have gathered: against a backdrop of sharply rising cybercrime, ISO 27001 certification confirms our reliability, our commitment to providing our clients with a secure environment, and our determination to strive for excellence and keep improving to meet new challenges.
Benefits and guarantees for our clients
Guaranteed independence
First, a guarantee of independence: compliance is confirmed by an accredited external body, not just by an internal assessment, which reduces uncertainty in tenders or regulatory inspections.
Documented criteria
Second, the certification structures how we assess and treat risks: data protection decisions are made according to documented, traceable and regularly reviewed criteria.
Clear procedures
Finally, at operational level, this means clear incident procedures, controlled system access rules and a systematic requirement for the confidentiality and resilience of the services we provide. All of which reduce the likelihood and impact of a damaging event on our clients’ operations!
The certification confirms that Devillard has implemented an information security management system (ISMS) capable of identifying critical risks, selecting appropriate measures and demonstrating their effectiveness. However, obtaining this certification is not a guarantee frozen in time.
The standard requires ongoing controls, internal audits, management reviews and external surveillance audits to ensure the measures remain effective over time. For our clients, this means they can rely on a provider whose security posture is monitored, audited and improved against very precise criteria.
