Askelie is now ISO 27001 Certified
Askelie Is Now ISO 27001 Certified
We’ve achieved ISO 27001 certification from ACAS British Assessment Bureau, strengthening data security and compliance for regulated organisations.
What Does ISO 27001 Certified Mean
Being ISO 27001 certified by the ACAS British Assessment Bureau (BAB) means Askelie has met rigorous international standards for information security. This accreditation reinforces the trust that regulated organisations place in us every day.
ISO 27001 isn’t just a badge on a website. It’s a formal, independently verified commitment to managing data securely. Something that matters enormously when you’re handling sensitive documents, contracts, and compliance obligations for clients in healthcare, finance, legal, and public sector environments.
What ISO 27001 Actually Means
ISO 27001 is an international standard that sets out the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Organisations that achieve certification have demonstrated to an independent auditor that they:
- Identify and assess information security risks
- Put controls in place to mitigate those risks
- Monitor and continuously improve their security posture
- Document everything and test it regularly
Unlike some compliance frameworks that focus narrowly on one area, ISO 27001 takes a holistic view. It covers access controls, incident response, supplier management, employee training, data encryption, backup procedures, and dozens of other security domains. That breadth means there’s nowhere to hide. Auditors look everywhere.
Why This Matters for Regulated Organisations
If you’re using askVERA, Contracts intELIEgence or any of the askELIE products, your documents, metadata, and organisational data live in Askelie’s systems. Trust isn’t optional when you’re handling:
- Sensitive patient information in NHS trusts
- Financial records in banking and insurance
- Legal contracts with confidentiality clauses
- Personal data subject to GDPR
- Compliance records in audit and regulatory contexts
ISO 27001 certification means:
You know the standards are independently verified
BAB is a recognised, accredited assessment body. They didn’t take our word for it. They conducted a rigorous audit across our processes, infrastructure, and controls.
You have a recognised benchmark
ISO 27001 is globally recognised. If your organisation has its own security frameworks or compliance requirements, you can cross-reference them against a standard that’s understood worldwide.
You have contractual protection
Many regulated organizations now include ISO 27001 certification as a vendor requirement. That box is now checked.
You know we’re investing in continuous improvement
Certification isn’t a one-time event. We undergo annual surveillance audits to maintain our certification, and we’re required to formally review and update our ISMS annually.
What This Certification Covers
Our ISO 27001 certification covers Askelie’s entire information security management system, including:
- Data protection and encryption: How we protect data at rest and in transit
- Access control: Who can do what, and how we verify their identity
- Infrastructure security: How we manage our systems, backups, and disaster recovery
- Incident response: How we detect, respond to, and learn from security incidents
- Supplier security: How we vet and manage third-party tools and services
- Employee security: Training, background checks, and responsibilities
- Physical security: Protection of our facilities and equipment
