Skillable Granted ISO-27001 and SOC 2 Certification for Ongoing Commitment to Security

Skillable has earned the coveted ISO-27001 and SOC 2 certifications, putting the organization in the top .01% of the most secure companies in the world.

Skillable has become ISO-27001:2022 certified by a third party as per the standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), joining the leagues of only .01% of companies worldwide who hold the certification.

Skillable also renewed its SOC 2 certification, the combination of which demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to securing private data and safeguarding users from cyberattacks.

First created in 2013, the ISO-27001 certification is the only internationally recognized information security standard. Organizations that earn the certificate have a continued investment in the people, processes and technology that protect both business and user data. The certificate is only earned after thorough testing by third parties who measure an organization’s security measures against leading technology companies such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

The ISO-27001 certification in addition to compliance with the SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) certification, EU’s GDPR, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and California’s CCPA certification further showcases Skillable’s commitment to security. The audit tests the overall trustworthiness of services provided by businesses to ensure they’re properly safeguarded against risks. Only companies that meet the five principles of trust developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), which include security, availability, processing, integrity and confidentiality and privacy, are recognized as SOC 2 certified.
