At bancon, we are proud to announce that we have achieved the prestigious ISO 27001 certification for our German and UK-based hubs, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to the highest standards of information security. We are also in the process of extending our Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is the foundation of our ISO 27001 certification, to our client-facing hub in South Africa as well as to our Indian Global Delivery Hub, further reinforcing our global dedication to information security, data protection and risk management.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard that provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability. By adopting this rigorous framework, we safeguard client data, intellectual property and critical business information throughout our engagements, in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification underscores our unwavering commitment to providing secure, reliable services and fostering trust with our clients. This certification brings several key benefits. Our clients can be assured that bancon’s team is consistently trained and fully aware of the latest security standards and potential threats, demonstrating our dedication to protecting client data with the highest level of care. We have established and are continuously fine-tuning well-defined security processes, proactively identifying and mitigating potential threats before they disrupt projects or operations. European banks and financial institutions subject to regulations such as DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) benefit from working with an ISO 27001-certified partner, simplifying compliance and reducing regulatory risk. Additionally, by minimising risks associated with ICT disruptions, cyberattacks and system failures, our ISO 27001 certification ensures business continuity and a resilient operational framework for our clients.
Our journey to ISO 27001 certification involved a structured approach to information security management. We established clear, relevant information security goals, continuously tracking and improving our compliance through external and internal audits. Our ISMS is seamlessly embedded in our day-to-day operations, ensuring that security protocols are consistently applied across all projects and internal processes. Information security is a company-wide priority, championed by our leadership team and ingrained in our corporate culture through regular training, monitoring, and reinforcement of best practices.
Jörg Mauelshagen, CEO of bancon, emphasised the importance of this achievement: “Earning ISO 27001 certification is a testament to our commitment to securing our clients’ data and maintaining the highest standards of information security. This milestone reflects our proactive approach to risk management and our dedication to delivering trusted, compliant solutions.”
Chief Information Security Officer Wilfried Schulte further highlighted: “Information security is at the core of everything we do at bancon. Achieving ISO 27001 certification validates our robust ISMS framework and continuous efforts to enhance our security posture. Our clients can have complete confidence that their information and data is managed with the utmost diligence and care.”
Achieving ISO 27001 certification is just one step in our ongoing journey towards excellence in information security. As we expand our certification coverage to additional locations, we remain committed to continuous improvement and delivering secure, innovative solutions for our clients worldwide.
