Selecting a software partner in today’s digital era involves much more than just technical know-how or creative design. It is all about trust.
Every line of code written for your product, every database managed, and every user interaction handled by your partner has something in common, that is data. And data, when mishandled, can become the biggest risk a company can face.
Therefore, certifications ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security Management System) and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 (Privacy Information Management System) have become essential indicators of credibility, reliability, and accountability in technology partnerships.
At Digiratina, we have ensured to adhere to industry standards by obtaining the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security Management System) and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 (Privacy Information Management System) certifications, along with complying to EU: GDPR and PDPA Sri Lanka. Not only are we certified and compliant, but we also follow these standards throughout as we believe that secure software is successful software.
Understanding Security Certifications
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management System (ISMS)
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the global standard for managing information security. It ensures that an organization has well-defined processes to protect sensitive data from threats such as unauthorized access, breaches, or data loss.
It focuses on three key principles:
- Confidentiality – Ensuring information is accessible only to authorized parties.
- Integrity – Maintaining data accuracy and completeness.
- Availability – Ensuring data is accessible whenever needed
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)
As an extension of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (ISMS), ISO/IEC 27701:2019 (PIMS) is specifically designed for data privacy and personal information protection. It provides a framework that aligns with major global regulations, including the EU: GDPR and Sri Lanka’s PDP Act, ensuring personal data is processed lawfully, transparently, and securely.
When a company holds these certifications, it is not just about passing an audit; it is about proving that every process, policy, and person is aligned with data protection best practices.
Why This Matters for Your Business
When choosing a software partner, certifications like ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (ISMS) and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 (PIMS) are not just “nice to have”, they are strategic advantages. Here’s why:
1. Reduced Risk and Liability
Working with a certified partner significantly minimizes your exposure to data breaches, compliance violations, and reputational harm. The partner already operates under audited frameworks designed to prevent incidents before they happen.
2. Built-in Compliance
A certified partner automatically supports your own compliance obligations. If your business is governed by regulations like EU: GDPR, HIPAA, or PDPA, partnering with an ISO certified vendor such as Digiratina Technology Solution helps you meet those standards faster and with fewer internal overheads.
3. Stronger Client Confidence
Your customers want to ensure their data is safe, and your partner certifications become part of your value chain. Working with a compliant vendor strengthens your own brand’s credibility and trustworthiness.
4. Security First Development
Certified companies like Digiratina build security into every phase of software development, from requirement elicitation, architecture and coding to testing and deployment, ensuring privacy and protection throughout.
5. Proactive Risk Management
ISO-certified teams continuously assess, monitor, and improve their processes. You are not just getting a one-time guarantee; you are gaining a partner committed to continuous security evolution.
What to Look for When Evaluating an Offshore Software Partner’s Security Posture
When assessing potential software partners, ask these questions:
- Are they ISO 27001 and/or ISO 27701 certified?
- Are they EU: GDPR and PDPA compliant if offshoring to Sri Lanka?
- How do they train employees in security awareness?
- Do they have a documented incident response plan?
- Is “privacy by design” part of their development process?
If the answer to these questions is confident, yes, you know what to do.
