We are pleased to announce that Cronofy is now certified to the ISO27001 information security standard. We were delighted to complete the audit with zero major or minor non-conformities. This shows that our processes, the way we build our products and operate day-to-day is consistent and thorough, and already in line with the ISO27001 guidelines. We want to make sure that you can schedule everything, for everyone, safe in the knowledge that data will be processed and secured to the highest standards.

What is ISO27001:2013?

ISO27001:2013 is an information security standard, set out by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving platforms and processes (otherwise known as the ISMS). The standard also sets out requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks.

Serious about Information Security

When you use Cronofy, you’re sharing potentially sensitive information with us. It’s our responsibility to make sure that we protect that data and we take that responsibility very seriously. That’s why information security will always be, a first-class concern to us. It’s always at the forefront of minds – whenever we’re building or developing any aspect of our service. We understand that our customers care deeply about the security of data, and it’s something we feel equally strongly about. We want our customers to know that they can trust us to process and handle their calendar and event data – always securely and to the highest standards.

The ISO27001 standard, as well as the other standards achieved by Cronofy, serves to demonstrate the fact that we have a world-class Information Security management system in place and ensure confidence in the way we handle all your data.

Independent Auditing

To achieve this certification, Cronofy’s compliance was audited, and validated, by an independent audit company, A-LIGN. Throughout the audit, Cronofy demonstrated a comprehensive and thorough approach to mitigating information security risks and the secure management of data.

Continuous Improvement

As part of running an effective information security program, Cronofy is committed to continual improvement in line with ISO27001. Cronofy will be assessed every three years, with audits in between those. This certification helps Cronofy ensure that we are operating, and, maintaining our ISMS and are protecting our customers’ data, in line with the standard.

We’re really pleased to now be ISO27001 certified, as well as SOC2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant, as well as a member of the EU-US Privacy Shield.
