ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification

How testRigor Keeps Your data secure — So You can focus on what matters.
What Is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
When you share data with a software vendor, you’re placing trust in that company — trust that your information will be handled responsibly, kept secure, and protected from unauthorized access. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard that formalizes that trust.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) — an independent, non-governmental global body — ISO/IEC 27001 defines the requirements for building and maintaining an Information Security Management System, or ISMS. In plain terms, it is a structured, proven framework that tells an organization exactly how to identify security risks, apply the right controls, and keep improving over time.
The 2022 version is the most current edition of this standard. It replaced the previous 2013 version and introduced updated controls organized into four key areas: People, Organizational, Technological, and Physical. These themes reflect how modern organizations actually operate — covering everything from how employees handle sensitive information to how cloud services and software development are secured.
Think of it this way: ISO 27001 is not just a policy document. It is a commitment — backed by a rigorous third-party audit — that security is built into the way a company operates, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Why Does ISO 27001 Certification Matter?
Any company can claim to take security seriously. Certification is the proof.
Achieving ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification means an independent, accredited auditing body has reviewed the organization’s security practices end-to-end — examining documentation, interviewing staff, testing controls, and verifying that the ISMS is not only in place but actually effective. The certification is only awarded when the auditor is satisfied that the organization meets every requirement of the standard.
For customers and prospects, this certification answers a critical question before you even have to ask it: Is this vendor managing security with the same rigor they apply to their core product?
Key benefits of working with an ISO 27001-certified vendor:
- Your data is handled within a formally defined, audited security framework.
- Security responsibilities are clearly assigned — nothing falls through the cracks.
- Risks are continuously identified, assessed, and mitigated — not just at audit time.
- The organization is aligned with international best practices, not just internal policies.
- It supports your own compliance requirements, including those related to data privacy regulations.
Certification Is Not a One-Time Achievement
One of the most important things to understand about ISO 27001 is that it is a living standard. Earning the certification is just the beginning.
To maintain certification, organizations must undergo surveillance audits at least once a year, conducted by the same independent body. These audits verify that controls remain effective, that the ISMS has kept pace with changes in the business and threat landscape, and that the organization continues to meet all requirements. Failing to maintain compliance means losing the certification.
This ongoing cycle — implement, audit, improve, audit again — is what makes ISO 27001 certification meaningful. It is not a badge earned once and forgotten. It is a continuous process that requires active management, accountability, and commitment at every level of the organization.
How testRigor Does It
At testRigor, security is not a department — it is a shared responsibility embedded across the entire organization. Our approach to ISO 27001 reflects how we think about security as a whole: structured, measurable, and always improving.
Dedicated Security Leadership
We have a Head of Security, Risk & Compliance who leads all strategic security initiatives — overseeing not just technical security, but also privacy and operational risk management. Alongside them, a dedicated Cybersecurity Engineer handles the day-to-day implementation and monitoring of our security controls. This ensures security decisions are both strategically aligned and operationally executed.
A Team Built for Secure Development
Our engineers and developers are experienced professionals trained in secure code development practices. Security is not reviewed at the end of a development cycle — it is built into how we write software from the start. This directly supports ISO 27001 requirements around technological controls and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities at the source.
Maturity Models and Continuous Improvement
We apply security maturity models across our entire ISMS. This means we do not just ask “are we compliant?” — we ask “how mature are our controls, and how can we improve them?” Our security posture evolves continuously, driven by measurable targets and honest assessment of where we stand.
Automated Compliance and Continuous Monitoring
We use automated compliance tools that allow us to detect gaps in our processes in near real-time. Our cloud security controls are verified through integrations, and we have implemented Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) automations that keep our environment under constant observation. This means threats and configuration issues are identified and addressed quickly — not discovered months later during an annual audit.
Centralized Risk Management Aligned with NIST
Our risk management approach is centralized and company-wide. It is aligned with the NIST framework — one of the most respected risk management standards in the industry — ensuring that how we identify, assess, and treat risks is consistent, documented, and traceable.
Security Awareness for Everyone
Security is only as strong as the people practicing it. That is why we run ongoing security awareness training and campaigns for all employees. Every team member — regardless of their role — understands their responsibilities and the risks associated with handling information.
What This Means for You
When you choose testRigor, you are not just selecting a test automation platform. You are partnering with a company that has made a formal, externally verified commitment to protecting the information you entrust to us.
Our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification means:
- Your data is protected within a rigorously audited security management system.
- Our infrastructure and processes are designed to prevent unauthorized access, data leakage, and security incidents.
- We are held accountable — not just by our own policies, but by an independent auditing body that reviews us annually.
- Our security practices are aligned with international standards that your own compliance and procurement teams will recognize.
We believe that trust is earned through transparency and evidence — not just claims. That is why we maintain a dedicated Trust Center where customers and prospects can access our security reports, certifications, and documentation directly.
