Category: Life At Javra

In a business environment defined by digital dependency and increasing regulatory scrutiny, the ability to protect information is fundamental to maintaining trust, resilience, and long-term value. At Javra Software, information security has long been embedded in how we operate. Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification formalizes this commitment and demonstrates the maturity of our approach.  Javra Software is now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, the internationally recognized standard for information security management. This certification confirms that our information security practices are governed by a robust framework, supported by leadership accountability, and continuously improved through structured risk management and independent assurance.  This article outlines what ISO 27001 entails, how an Information Security Management System (ISMS) functions, and why this certification is particularly relevant for our customers, partners, and future clients.  What Is ISO/IEC 27001?  ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).  The standard adopts a risk-based and enterprise-wide perspective on information security. Rather than focusing solely on technology, ISO 27001 addresses the governance, operational, and technical measures required to protect information assets across:  This integrated approach ensures information is protected consistently and proportionately, in line with business objectives and risk appetite.  Understanding the Information Security Management System (ISMS)  An ISMS is a structured management framework designed to identify, assess, and mitigate information security risks in a systematic and auditable manner.  At its foundation, the ISMS is aligned with the CIA Triad, a core principle of information security:  ISO 27001 ensures these principles are embedded into day-to-day operations, decision-making, and governance, rather than treated as isolated technical controls.  Information Security, Cybersecurity, and Privacy  ISO 27001 provides a unifying framework across three closely related domains:  Information Security  Information security encompasses the protection of information in all forms, including digital data, physical records, and intellectual property. It focuses on managing risks throughout the information lifecycle, from creation to disposal.  Cybersecurity  Cybersecurity is a subset of information security focused on protecting digital environments from evolving threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, unauthorized access, and network vulnerabilities. ISO 27001 ensures these technical controls are supported by governance, risk assessment, and operational oversight.  Privacy  Privacy addresses the lawful, ethical, and transparent processing of personal data. While information security protects data from unauthorized access, privacy ensures that authorized use complies with regulatory and contractual obligations. ISO 27001 supports alignment with privacy and data protection frameworks, including:  For clients, this provides assurance that data is both secure and responsibly managed.  Why ISO 27001 Matters to Our Clients  ISO 27001 certification provides practical and strategic value.  For organizations operating in complex or regulated environments, these assurances are increasingly critical.  Strategic Impact for Javra  Implementing and maintaining ISO 27001 strengthens Javra’s operational and strategic capabilities:  Information security is not treated as a compliance exercise, but as a foundation for sustainable growth.  Certification, Audit, and Independent Assurance  Javra’s ISO 27001 certification has been issued by Brand Compliance, an accredited certification body operating under the oversight of the Raad voor Accreditatie (Dutch Accreditation Council) (RvA) and follows a defined certification and audit cycle.  Throughout this journey, Javra was supported by Pasquil, who provided guidance on:  This structured approach ensured that the ISMS is both compliant and operationally effective.  A Measured and Ongoing Commitment  ISO 27001 certification represents a significant milestone for Javra Software, while also reinforcing our long-term commitment to information security, privacy, and cybersecurity. For our customers and partners, it provides clear, independent assurance that information security is governed, monitored, and continuously improved today and in the future.  To learn more about how Javra’s ISO 27001 certification supports your organization’s security and compliance objectives, please contact our team.  Certification
