Code analysis is essential in every organization focused on software development. However, when sensitive information is at play, organizations might want to take an extra step to ensure that those data are well protected. That’s where ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification has a significant role. More than guaranteeing that developers write better code, it’s a way to show customers that the organization takes its data security seriously.

What is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and why is it relevant?

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization developing and producing worldwide standards. ISO standards cover various activities, from making products and managing processes to service delivery and supplying materials.

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system within the context of the organization. It also includes requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organization. The requirements set out in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size or nature.

ISO certification has become the norm, and it works as a seal of approval.
