ContractHero’s Path to ISO 27001 Certification – Efficient and Secure with Kertos

As a leading provider of digital contract management, ContractHero sets new standards in transparency and automation. Renowned companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Eurowings, and Dorint Hotels & Resorts rely on the solution to streamline contract management and optimize processes. However, with increasing success came growing demands for information security and compliance.

To achieve ISO 27001 certification efficiently and sustainably, ContractHero needed a solution that would seamlessly integrate a certifiable Information Security Management System (ISMS) into its existing workflows.

Challenge: Scaling Information Security Effectively

With a growing customer base and evolving compliance requirements, a structured security framework became essential. The key challenges:

  • Implementing security standards without disrupting existing processes
  • Establishing an ISMS that is certifiable, scalable, and future-proof
  • Navigating the certification process with minimal operational overhead

The solution: Kertos. Through this collaboration, ContractHero successfully structured and streamlined its certification journey—without unnecessary delays.
