The Challenge
Emidat wanted to achieve ISO 27001 certification as quickly as possible due to its partnerships with large clients, for whom this certification was a mandatory requirement. The need for compliance was driven by the expectations of these key clients, making the certification not just a goal, but a necessity for continuing business relationships.
Faced with the dual pressures of maintaining day-to-day operations and meeting ISO 27001 standards, Emidat had to act quickly. The challenge was further compounded by the comprehensive nature of the ISO 27001 process, which includes developing policies, creating extensive documentation, implementing controls, and performing risk assessments. For a lean startup like Emidat, balancing these demands while maintaining a focus on product innovation and customer service was no small feat.
