Passify achieves ISO 27001 certification: Setting the standard for information security
At passify, we are delighted to announce that we have successfully obtained ISO 27001 certification, the premier international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This achievement is a testament to our dedication to protecting data, ensuring operational resilience, and delivering secure systems to our customers in the transport and logistics industry.
As a growing startup, achieving ISO 27001 is not only a milestone; it’s an assurance that our processes, systems, and services uphold the highest standards of security, reliability, and professionalism. It reflects our commitment to safeguarding the interests of our customers while building a sustainable and secure future for their operations.
What is ISO 27001, and why is it important?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized framework for implementing, maintaining, and continually improving information security management systems. Certification requires organizations to address information risks comprehensively, mitigate threats, and systematically protect sensitive data.
For us, this certification symbolizes our proactive efforts to secure both internal and customer-related data against evolving cyber risks and other security threats. It demonstrates that we have robust systems in place to ensure confidentiality, availability, and integrity—the three pillars of information security.
Where NIS2 fits in
NIS2 is the EU cybersecurity directive that raises baseline security and incident-reporting requirements for “essential” and “important” entities across sectors—including transport and digital infrastructure. Depending on your size and role (e.g., terminal operators, logistics providers, digital infrastructure supporting transport), you may fall within its scope.
While NIS2 is not a certification, its requirements focus on governance, risk management, supply-chain security, incident response, and business continuity. Our ISO 27001-certified ISMS provides the structures and controls that strongly support NIS2 readiness.
- Governance and accountability: defined roles, management oversight, and policy ownership.
- Risk management: systematic risk assessments and documented controls.
- Supply-chain security: vendor due diligence and contractual security requirements.
- Technical and organizational measures: access control, encryption, secure development, backup and recovery.
- Monitoring and detection: logging, alerting, and vulnerability management.
- Incident reporting readiness: playbooks and workflows aligned with NIS2 timelines (early warning, 72h notification, and final reporting as required under national implementations).
Note: NIS2 obligations ultimately apply to each in-scope entity. Partnering with an ISO 27001-certified provider like passify reduces effort and audit friction by providing clear evidence, mature processes, and control mappings.
Steps we took to achieve ISO 27001 certification
Becoming ISO 27001 certified required considerable focus, planning, and execution across our operations. These measures also align closely with NIS2 expectations:
Risk Assessment and Management: We conducted comprehensive risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities across systems and processes. These assessments drive structured policies and treatment plans with clear ownership supporting NIS2’s risk-based approach.
Defined Security Controls: We implemented technical and organizational controls to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or breaches, including encryption, access controls, backup measures, and network security. These controls map to NIS2’s required security measures.
Information Security Awareness Training: Every team member at passify underwent detailed training to understand their role in maintaining security standards. Continuous awareness aligns with NIS2’s emphasis on staff competence and accountability.
Incident Response Documentation: We created and tested incident response plans to ensure rapid, coordinated action in the event of a threat or breach. Our procedures support timely customer communications and help you meet NIS2-aligned reporting workflows.
Ongoing Monitoring and Auditing: ISO 27001 emphasizes continuous improvement. We implemented monitoring, vulnerability management, and regular internal audits to keep pace with evolving threats—supporting NIS2’s requirements for detection and resilience.
This framework enables us to anticipate risks, safeguard operations, and provide maximum security for data handled by our solutions.
