The Challenge

Achieving ISO 27001 in 4 months to protect sensitive customer data

As Zapnito grew, it became clear that they needed a formal system to manage information security. Getting ISO 27001 certified was essential to show their customers that they could be trusted with sensitive data. However, the process of getting certified is complex and challenging. Jon, the COO and Co-Founder of Zapnito, has a strong technical background, having worked as a CTO for many years, needed more than just software—he needed a partner who could guide them through the entire process.

The Solution

More than just software – A partner who could guide through ISO 27001

After looking at a few other options, Zapnito chose Secfix because it felt like the right fit. Jon explained, “We considered some bigger companies, but I felt we wouldn’t get the attention we needed from them. Secfix offered the perfect combination of the right size, good value for money, and the features we actually needed."
