Island Achieves ISO 27001 Certification: What It Means for Prospects and Customers

Island's Enterprise Browser recently achieved ISO 27001 certification, which means powerful data controls, simplified compliance, and continuous improvement. Here’s everything you need to know.

Island was born from a drive to make the future of work more secure, resulting in the Enterprise Browser. Now, with our recent ISO 27001 certification — one of the most widely recognized and respected standards for information security management — we’re taking our commitment to safeguard our processes and customers' data even further.

What is ISO 27001 and Why Does It Matter?

ISO 27001 is an international standard developed in cooperation by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It outlines best practices for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). Achieving the certification requires a thorough external audit by an accredited body and demonstrates rigorous controls around Island and customer data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

For customers, ISO 27001 is a clear signal that Island doesn’t just talk about security — it proves it.

How Customers Benefit from Island’s ISO 27001 Certification

Assurance of Risk Controls and Data Security

Island’s ISO 27001 certification provides customers and prospects with strong assurance that their sensitive data is protected according to globally recognized best practices. The certification validates that Island has established rigorous governance across access controls, encryption, incident response, vulnerability management, and overall system integrity. Customers can trust that the Island Enterprise Browser actively mitigates risks, safeguards information, and upholds the highest standards of security across technology, people, and processes.

Reduced Compliance Burden

For organizations operating in either heavily regulated industries or across multiple geographies, working with vendors that meet the worldwide ISO 27001 standard is critical. Island’s certification helps customers simplify their own compliance efforts by providing independent validation of security practices. Whether preparing for audits, due diligence reviews, or risk assessments, customers and prospects can prepare for the future of work with a browser environment that already meets a key international benchmark for information security.

Continued Focus on Improvement

ISO 27001 is not a checkbox; it demands continuous improvement through ongoing monitoring, internal audits, and external testing. Island’s certification ensures customers and prospects are aligned with a partner who is committed to continuously evolving its security posture. This means customers can rely on Island not just today, but for the long term, as the future of work continues to grow more complex.

Final Thoughts

Island’s ISO 27001 certification isn't just a badge — it’s a milestone in our mission to make the Enterprise Browser the most secure and intelligent place for the future of work. For our customers, it brings peace of mind, operational efficiencies, and a deeper partnership built on the highest standards of trust and security.

As cyber threats grow more complex, choosing partners who prioritize security is no longer optional — it’s essential. With Island, customers and prospects can move forward confidently, knowing their users, data, and business operations are protected at the highest level.
