The SaaS company, wherEX, achieved ISO 27001:2017 certification issued by AENOR, a world leader in this type of accreditation. This recognition guarantees that the company has an adequate Information Security Management System in all its processes.

This demonstrates a real commitment to protecting the data of the platform's users. Currently, there are only 89 companies in Chile with this active certification, and wherEX is now one of them. To achieve this accreditation, the SaaS company passed 114 strict management controls, both technological and legal.

Today, information security is in the spotlight due to emerging phenomena such as identity theft, data breaches, financial records and cyber-terrorism threats.

 

The relevance of Information Security

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) are the best tool to combat the risks of cyber-attacks and leaks of sensitive data. In this way, maximum security is provided for the data of the users of the tendering platform. Therefore, the information of purchasing companies and suppliers is fully protected under wherEX management.

It should be noted that information security management applies not only to IT security (e.g. firewalls, anti-virus, etc.), but also to process management, human resources, legal protection and even the physical protection of company premises.

The ISO 27001:2017 standard gives customers and suppliers confidence by ensuring that their data and information security is protected at all times. With this accreditation, wherEX is at the forefront of implementing internal controls and protocols in this area.
