Any organization that wishes to obtain this certification has to be formally audited and certified compliant with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard.

Lakhani said, “At RapidCompute, one of our key priorities is the security of our customer’s information and business continuity. To ensure that our security standards are at par with international best practices, the ISO/IEC 27001 certification was crucial”.
