This certification marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to protecting customer data and maintaining the highest standards of information security across our platforms.
What Is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the globally accepted framework for managing information security risks. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), it outlines the best practices and controls required to establish, operate, monitor, and improve an effective ISMS.
What This Means for Our Customers
Our ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates that we:
- Have implemented a robust, systematic approach to managing sensitive information.
- Protect customer and employee data with industry-leading security practices.
- Have risk management strategies in place for preventing and responding to security incidents.
- Operate a secure infrastructure supported by company-wide policies and training.
How We Achieved It
Knowledge Pillars underwent a comprehensive third-party audit to validate our security policies, data protection processes, vendor controls, and business continuity strategies. This assessment confirmed that our ISMS meets all requirements under the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard.
The certification is a result of coordinated efforts across our entire organization and reflects our leadership in the education technology and certification space.
Complementing Our SOC 2 Compliance
ISO/IEC 27001 builds on our previously achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, further strengthening our position as a trusted partner to educational institutions, government entities, and private organizations.
Together, these accreditations affirm our commitment to privacy, reliability, and international standards of excellence.
