Kinde has achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification, marking a significant milestone for the company and its expanding customer base, as it underscores their commitment to information security management. This certification, which sets standards for establishing, implementing, and improving an information security management system (ISMS), is intended to be applicable to organizations of any size and nature. Initially considering SOC2 due to their expansion plans in the U.S., Kinde pivoted to ISO 27001 based on customer preferences, thus aligning their compliance efforts with global standards. They utilized Notion to build and manage their ISMS documentation, which facilitated a smooth certification process. The journey involved meticulous preparation, effective teamwork, and a shift from SOC2 to ISO 27001 standards, supported by both internal and external partners. This strategic choice reflects Kinde's mission to enable startups to authenticate users securely without complex infrastructure, thereby building a trustworthy business environment.
