This achievement highlights that Candour Face ID is among the most secure methods for verifying identities and demonstrates our deep commitment to security at every level of our work. 

What is ISO 27001? 

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management systems. It sets clear requirements that organizations must meet to establish and maintain a strong framework for protecting sensitive data. 

This standard offers guidance to companies of all sizes and industries on how to build, implement, and continuously improve their information security management systems. Achieving compliance with ISO 27001 means a business has put in place a robust system to identify and manage risks related to its data security while following internationally recognized best practices and principles. 

Why is ISO 27001 important? 

In today’s digital-first world, identity verification providers handle some of the most sensitive data imaginable, including biometric profiles, government IDs, and personal credentials. ISO 27001 certification shows a strong commitment to protecting information through strict and independently checked processes. As new threats constantly emerge, maintaining this certification ensures security measures stay current and effective against evolving risks. 

For clients and regulators, ISO 27001 sends a clear message that the provider takes data protection seriously. It builds trust, supports compliance with global regulations such as GDPR, and lays a solid foundation for operating in highly regulated markets. 

As identity verification becomes increasingly AI-driven, with facial recognition and biometrics at its core as seen in Candour Face ID, ISO 27001 ensures that the underlying systems remain secure, resilient, and prepared for the future. We believe security must be a fundamental principle embedded in every layer of our technology.
