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:
- People – clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and security awareness.
- Processes – policies, procedures, and decision-making structures.
- Technology – systems, infrastructure, and technical safeguards.
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:
- Confidentiality – ensuring information is accessible only to authorized individuals.
- Integrity – safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information.
- Availability – ensuring information and systems are accessible when required.
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:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- International data transfer mechanisms, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
- Employee and customer data protection requirements
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.
- Protect sensitive business and customer information
- Reduce cybersecurity and compliance risk by aligning with regulatory, contractual, and industry expectations.
- Improved operational resilience, supporting continuity during incidents or disruptions.
- Support continuous improvement of security practices
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:
- More efficient and standardized processes.
- A stronger organization-wide security and risk awareness culture.
- Increased confidence from customers and partners.
- Improved competitiveness in markets where security maturity is a prerequisite.
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:
- ISMS design and implementation.
- Risk assessment and treatment planning using the Risqui risk management platform.
- Internal audit preparation and execution.
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.
