One of the things we talk about at Voxel51 is that good security is one of the most high-empathy activities we engage in.
Okay… but what is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the international gold standard for information security management systems, basically, how we work to protect your data.
Why did we consider ISO 27001 certification?
One of our core pillars is that data is the most important ingredient in the machine learning process. As such, protecting that data and building a secure organization and platform to that end are paramount to how we want to serve our community. The ISO 27001 standard is a huge piece of how we want to ensure that data is protected.
Why should this matter to you?
For our community, an ISO 27001 certification signals:
- Enhanced data security: This is the most crucial reason. ISO 27001 codifies our commitment to controls and protocols to safeguard your data (with an outside auditor ensuring the healthiness of our practices).
- Reduced risk of data breaches: Data breaches are a constant threat, and can be incredibly damaging. With ISO 27001 certification, we have a proactive approach to information security, minimizing the chances of a breach and protecting your data.
- Compliance with regulations that impact your world: By being certified, we’re offering an additional layer of assurance – which is critical whether you’re working at one of the largest companies or on earth (with a robust IT security team alongside you) or just a hobbyist ML researcher on your own machine.
