The certificate is not the goal, but the proof
For us, ISO 27001 is no piece of paper on the wall, but a confirmation that we really take information security seriously. We have tightly regulated our measures and controls — and we are setting the bar higher and higher. Security is not a job for one department, but it is in everything we do: from onboarding to tooling, from daily processes to making tough decisions. It's just part of our job.
Why extra important now?
The bar is higher than ever. Customers no longer want great stories, but hard guarantees and visible evidence. Without certification, you will hardly pass the selection process in tenders or audits. Upcoming legislation such as NIS2 makes security not only mandatory, but also measurable. Cyber attacks are a daily reality, and geopolitical turmoil can make even stable suppliers suddenly vulnerable. The rise of AI is accelerating developments, but it is actually placing higher demands on the safe handling of data and processes. That is exactly why we make the difference: we not only regulate the technology, but ensure that safety is a standard in our culture.
What has changed in the norm?
The renewed ISO 27001:2022 standard sets stricter requirements for chain safety: how do you deal with risks in the event of supplier failure? We are now sharper than ever on that. We started with a gap analysis, made a concrete improvement plan and — together with the entire team — implemented what was necessary. We see that information security is now more widely supported than ever. It is no longer an “IT party”, but a theme for everyone.
What does this mean for our customers?
Our customers can be confident that their data is safe with us, and we can always demonstrate that. During tenders and audits, this often proves to be the decisive plus. Just as important: our approach is practical and people-oriented. No “ticking off” behavior, but awareness and concrete behavior. Because information security remains human work and requires continuous attention.
What did we learn?
Such a certification process is intensive. We have experienced again: real information security starts with people, not rules. Small, concrete steps work better than large, one-off projects. I'd rather make progress every month than want to solve everything at once. And perhaps most importantly: security is never 'finished'. It requires leadership, a good example and the drive to continuously improve.
Safety is never finished — and that's exactly how it should be.
Information security always remains on the agenda at Blis Digital. Not because we have to, but because we think that's the way it should be. The certification shows that we mean it and challenges us to get even better every day.
