“Being recertified is an important achievement. Since the last certification we further invested and developed differentiated methods for managing risks tailored to the needs of all of our customers,” says Alvaro Lima, Modulo’s Co-founder.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

This international certification formally specifies a management system that is intended to bring information security under explicit management controls.

ISO/IEC 27001 requires that management:

• Systematically examines the organization's information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts;
• Designs and implements a coherent and comprehensive suite of information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment (such as risk avoidance or risk transfer) to address those risks that it deems unacceptable; and
• Adopts an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis.
