ISO 27001 certification

ISO 27001 certification is a significant milestone for any company committed to the security of its information. For Techcast, the path to this successful certification was a journey full of learning opportunities and growth potential (and a few challenges along the way).

From the outset, our company has attached great importance to the significance of a robust information security management system (ISMS) in accordance with ISO 27001. We therefore began with a thorough analysis of existing security processes and the identification of potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement.

The first step on the path to certification was to establish a clear roadmap and involve all departments. The decision was made relatively quickly to build up expertise in the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard internally and thus dispense with external consultants. Two colleagues from the project management and finance teams, who complement each other perfectly in an interdisciplinary way, took on responsibility for the ISO project.

During the certification process, Techcast had to go through various stages, including

the creation of information security policies,
the performance of risk analyses,
the implementation of security controls, and
the training of employees.
These steps were accompanied by transparent communication, commitment at all levels, and a willingness to rethink and improve existing processes.

Through consistent implementation of the ISO 27001 requirements and continuous monitoring and auditing of security measures, we finally succeeded in achieving certification. It now confirms that our company meets all requirements in the area of information security management and at the same time underlines our commitment to the protection and security of online events such as virtual annual general meetings, press conferences, town hall meetings, and webcasts.

The journey to ISO 27001 certification was challenging but rewarding for the entire team. As a result, Techcast is ready for the future, with a strong foundation in information security and a clear focus on innovation and excellence.

We are proud to have achieved this certification and see it as another step in our ongoing pursuit of excellence in all areas of real-time video communication.

Key steps to ISO 27001 certification

Looking back, we asked our colleague Philipp Schock what steps are necessary for structured implementation:

1. Secure management support

Management commitment to information security and the provision of resources are important.

2. Perform risk analysis

Identifying assets and risks creates a solid foundation for developing the information security management system.

3. Define guidelines and processes

Information security policies, processes, and procedures that comply with the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard must be developed.

4. Training and awareness raising

The importance of safety measures should be clearly communicated to the team.

6. Conduct internal audits

Reviewing the effectiveness of the ISMS and identifying potential areas for improvement prior to the external audit takes the pressure off.
