OneTrust Certification Automation streamlines and simplifies compliance with new 2022 standard

OneTrust, the market-defining leader for trust intelligence, is helping organizations attain certification with the newly released ISO 27001:2022 standard. OneTrust Certification Automation and OneTrust’s robust team of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) experts enable companies to compare and upgrade their existing ISO 27001 certification from the old standard to the new standard, while dramatically reducing the time and manual effort required to achieve compliance.

Cyber-attacks such as phishing and malware, and vulnerabilities from third parties and supply chains, are a constant and growing threat to businesses. As organizations are expected to demonstrate resilience against these risks, ISO 27001 certification signals that they have defined and implemented processes across their information security management systems (ISMS) that align with industry best-practices. In 2022, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published changes to its ISO 27001 standard (ISO 27001:2022), providing the newest set of updates since the 2013 revision (ISO 27001:2013). Organizations who attain ISO 27001 certification must demonstrate compliance annually.

“Today’s cybersecurity landscape is rife with hacks and breaches, making security assurance more important than ever. Achieving ISO 27001 certification helps companies expand their marketability, gain a competitive advantage over competition, and increase trust with stakeholders and customers who can be confident that their valuable data and intellectual property is safeguarded,” said Cliff Huntington, General Manager, OneTrust GRC and Security Assurance Cloud. “However, compliance can be difficult, time-intensive, and burdensome on security teams due to heavy documentation requirements and demand for proving governance. We’ve listened to our customers’ challenges and designed a comprehensive solution – combining people, process, and technology – to make ISO compliance simpler and more efficient.”
