ISO Certifications Simplified

ISO standards in different areas, from pens to aircraft, are created to guarantee quality on a global level. Each of the standards was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) — an independent, nongovernmental, international organization that unites professionals in their areas to set the standards for the quality of goods or services.

ISO 27001 (Information Security Management) is an international standard and benchmark that audits and assesses all companies’ policies, processes, and safeguards when it comes to data security. It  is the only auditable certification in the world that defines the requirements of an information security management system (ISMS), and it’s the foundation for the standards and rules we adhere to. It covers 14 domains of security to ensure all areas are adequately assessed.

ISO 27701 is an internationally recognized standard in privacy and data protection and serves as a formal independent seal of approval for Flo’s privacy program. It provides a framework for organizations to manage and demonstrate compliance with privacy laws and regulations and is designed to help organizations establish and maintain effective privacy management practices, ensuring the protection of personally identifiable information.
