In today’s digital age, online security and data privacy are paramount concerns. With cyberattacks on the rise and expected to cost nearly $10.5 trillion, the significance of robust information security measures cannot be overstated.
Users entrust VPN providers with safeguarding their sensitive information and upholding strong information security practices. To meet these expectations and set industry benchmarks, we’re thrilled to announce that the parent company of PureVPN, a leading VPN service provider and the flagship brand of PureSquare, has upgraded its Information Security Management System (ISMS) from ISO/IEC 27001:2013 to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard — reaffirming our commitment to delivering top-tier security and data protection, ensuring the highest standards of information security and data protection. This achievement is independently verified through rigorous audits
What is ISO 27001 Certification?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a globally recognized body that establishes rigorous standards for various industries. ISO/IEC 27001 is the international benchmark for information security management. Since its original edition in 2005, it was revised in 2013 and updated again in 2022 to address modern, evolving threats.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification specifically focuses on information security management:
- Introduces strengthened, consolidated controls in Annex A
- Enhances alignment with other frameworks like NIST
- Emphasizes continuous improvement, adaptability to emerging risks, and modernized cybersecurity governance
Earning this certification demonstrates that PureVPN prioritizes the security of your data by adhering to a comprehensive set of best practices.
The Importance of ISO Certification in Cybersecurity
The digital age offers unparalleled convenience, but it also comes with inherent risks. Cybercrime is on a worrying upswing, with global cybercrime damage costs expected to grow by 15% per year over the next two years.
A single data breach can be devastating, with the average cost reaching a hefty $4.45 million. Moreover, the United States continues to have the highest cost of a data breach at $5.09 million, according to IBM.
In this environment, choosing a VPN provider that prioritizes security is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity. Hence, PureVPN has taken a significant step forward by leveraging the ISO certification to deliver peace of mind to its users.
For PureVPN, this certification underscores their dedication to data protection, security compliance, and maintaining industry standards.
