Axeptio has been awarded ISO/IEC 27001 certification, the international standard for information security management systems. This milestone formally recognises the company’s long-standing commitment to data protection, fully aligned with its role in fostering trust between brands and their users.
ISO 27001: the international standard for information security
ISO/IEC 27001 sets out the requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard provides organisations with a structured framework to identify, assess and mitigate risks related to the protection of sensitive information assets — including personal data, financial information, strategic documents and data entrusted by third parties.
As recalled by the certification body Certi Trust, ISO/IEC 27001 is built around three core principles: confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. These pillars underpin all the requirements of the standard and guide the design of the ISMS.
Rather than focusing solely on technical safeguards, ISO 27001 adopts a comprehensive governance-based approach. It requires clear organisational choices, documented processes, well-defined responsibilities and a demonstrated ability to continuously improve information security practices over time.
The ISMS: a structured, audited and continuously evolving framework
At the heart of the certification lies the ISMS itself. It enables organisations to embed risk management into their long-term operations, taking into account evolving threats, changing uses and an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.
The certification audit confirmed the consistency of Axeptio’s security policies, the relevance of the controls implemented and the organisation’s ability to sustain this level of rigour over time. This aspect is essential, as ISO 27001 is not a one-off achievement but a long-term commitment. Axeptio now enters a continuous improvement cycle, punctuated by regular audits and internal reviews.
A strategic milestone supporting Axeptio’s international expansion
ISO 27001 is widely recognised as the global reference standard for information security. It provides a common, standardised proof of an organisation’s security maturity. For technology companies operating across multiple markets, it provides a common framework for dialogue with enterprise customers, international partners and public sector stakeholders.
For Axeptio, this certification is fully aligned with its international growth trajectory, marked this year by the opening of a subsidiary in Quebec, as well as the acquisitions of AdOpt in Brazil and CookieCode in the Netherlands.
ISO 27001: a collective achievement, fully aligned with Axeptio’s mission
Achieving ISO 27001 certification is the result of a company-wide effort launched in early 2025, involving all Axeptio teams.
As explained by Oscar Castellana, Chief Operating Officer at Axeptio: “This project brought together technical, legal, operational and management teams around a shared objective: building a robust and sustainable approach to information security management. This certification reflects a collective effort and a strong commitment to embedding cybersecurity and risk management into our day-to-day operations.”
For Axeptio’s customers and partners, ISO 27001 certification provides tangible assurances. It demonstrates that information security processes are governed by a recognised framework, audited by an independent third party and embedded in a continuous improvement approach.
In a digital ecosystem where data protection requirements continue to intensify, this certification further strengthens Axeptio’s position as a trusted and reliable partner, committed to compliance, security and the reliability of data processing.
