Globaldev completes its annual ISO/IEC 27001 recertification

How can you be confident that your software development or solution provider keeps your information locked from the outside world, and not just in a shared drive or a folder no one tracks?

Everyone can claim to follow “security best practices”. However, unless those practices are checked by an independent auditor, there’s no guarantee they are consistent or even followed at all. That’s why ISO/IEC 27001 certification exists.

What is ISO/IEC 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally-recognized standard for managing information security. It provides a structured way for organizations like us to identify risks, decide how to treat them, and continuously improve how information is protected. All of this is done to keep data confidential, accurate, and accessible only to the right people.

To meet the standard, a company has to build an Information Security Management System (ISMS). This system brings together all the elements that can affect security, so people, processes, technology, physical infrastructure, and supplier relationships.

In layman's terms, ISO/IEC 27001 means acting predictably and responsibly with information. For example, limiting who has access to client data, monitoring unusual activity, and ensuring that every employee understands what to do if something appears suspect. It is not a one-time setup, but rather a dynamic system that adapts as the company expands and threats change.

Globaldev’s journey with ISO/IEC 27001

Globaldev initially obtained ISO/IEC 27001 certification in 2023. Since then, we've undergone independent recertification every year to ensure that our processes remain effective and in line with the industry best practices. This includes ongoing monitoring, internal audits, risk assessments, and ensuring that our controls work in actual life.

Over the last few years, our company has expanded tremendously. Just this September 2025, we entered into the APAC region by acquiring Investidea. Overall, Globaldev Group now operates in:

• Vietnam
• Armenia
• Poland
• Portugal
• Ukraine
• Germany
• Israel

With more locations, and therefore, people and technologies in place, a robust, consistent strategy to information security is critical. Recertification guarantees that all new and existing offices follow the same structured, accountable security framework.

How is ISO/IEC 27001 beneficial for Globaldev clients?

ISO/IEC 27001 specifies how we handle information at all stages of what we do. For clients, it all starts with the basics: their data (whether it's code, documentation, internal files, or something shared across tools) is stored in a regulated and monitored environment, rather than spread across platforms or left to personal preferences.

Because the standard depends on ongoing risk assessment, our security controls evolve as threats do. Clients rely on a system that is reviewed and updated on a regular basis. This reduces exposure to cyber incidents in a practical and measurable way.

Another advantage is consistency. Globaldev operates in various countries, and ISO/IEC 27001 ensures that security standards are consistent across. Clients may anticipate the same level of security, access control, and documentation regardless of which team is in charge of the project.

Additionally, the standard upholds specified duties. Everyone, who works with client data, follows the same guidelines and is aware of risks associated with their tasks.

ISO/IEC 27001 also has an impact on how we develop and maintain software. It oversees design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance, lowering the likelihood of vulnerabilities entering a system undetected.

Main ISO/EIC 27001 control categories

This list of the categories that we control is in no way exhaustive, as there’s much more that goes into being compliant with the standards. But to keep this concise and valuable for you, we’ll include these main categories:

• Information security policies
• Organization of information security
• Communications security
• Access control
• System acquisition, development, and maintenance
• Human resources security
• Supplier relationships
• Asset management
• Information security incident management
• Cryptography
• Information security aspects of business continuity management
• Physical and environmental security
• Operations security
• Compliance
