Contentful has invested in ISO 27001 compliance certification to demonstrate its commitment to information security, improving processes and applying them to the whole business. Senior management support was crucial from the outset, and despite budget and resource challenges, they set out for success. Compliance means that security processes are in place, risks are analyzed, and treated in an educated manner, laying a foundation for future improvements and transforming security as a driver for business growth. The company's journey to certification involved two main phases: asset management and risk management, which led to the development of a set of policies, improved decision-making, and clearer security ownership among employees. With mandatory training and security owners assigned to every feature, Contentful is better equipped to identify and mitigate security threats, earning and keeping trust from its investors, customers, and employees.
