Sidetrade secures ISO 27001 certification
Sidetrade is one of the foremost European
software vendors of B2B AI solutions. Sidetrade algorithms are
powered by millions of data points: over €700bn B2B transactions,
230m payment experiences, 16m corporate websites analyzed, and 50bn
weak B2B signals from social networks. It was therefore appropriate
for Sidetrade to leap ahead in security management by obtaining ISO
27001 certification, the gold standard in information security.
“ISO 27001 certification confirms our commitment
to data security. It reflects our integrity, the quality of our
technology, and the reliability and traceability of our processes.
Very few companies in our field have such a wide scope of ISO 27001
certification: all of our departments, systems and processes
directly related to customers. Sidetrade’s quest for excellence is
one reason why customers trust us to handle their sensitive data
and comply with all security requirements”, said Laurent Pontier,
Technical Director, Sidetrade.
With artificial intelligence requiring
algorithmic processing of massive quantities of data, and 40% of UK
firms reporting at least one cyber-attack in 2018, information
system security and data protection have become truly strategic
issues. The highest level of expertise is required to earn customer
trust.
Because Sidetrade has always worked in SaaS
mode, they have constantly taken a proactive approach to securing
its applications and protecting its customers’ data. ISO 27001
certification was a natural step for Sidetrade, formalizing and
reinforcing its commitment to security.
Compliance now covers all departments,
information systems and processes directly related to customers.
Such a wide-reaching approach to security is relatively rare in
this field, where most companies focus their security efforts on
just the SaaS hosting system. Sidetrade goes much further by
ensuring that all of its data storage and processing systems and
procedures are ISO 27001 compliant.
This company-wide project, which mobilized all
staff and management for over 18 months, now gives Sidetrade
unparalleled cyber security capacity, in line with the toughest
international standards, to meet its customers’ most demanding
security requirements.
“We established a very wide scope of
certification, encompassing every department in the organization
dealing with customers. This provides operational risk control,
including extremely strong protection of customers’ data. Our
digital security processes are applied to every department having
access to customer data, whether Product and R&D in-build or
run phases of our SaaS solution or Professional Services involved
during the solution implementation. Our certification even
covers our internal processes (HR, finance, suppliers, IT), and the
physical security of our installations” explained Laurent
Pontier, Technical Director, Sidetrade.
Sidetrade worked hard to make its Information
Security Management (ISMS) ISO 27001 compliant. Not only were heavy
investments made to secure technical systems and processes, but all
of the company’s working practices were audited with respect to
security and confidentiality by KPMG.
The wide scope of ISO 27001 certification gives
Sidetrade a decisive edge in a world where secure data management
has become crucial. Most corporate executives list cyber risk among
their top priorities in 2019.
