When selecting a partner to handle sensitive data, trust and security are non-negotiable. Organisations must be confident that their data is protected to the highest standards. That’s why achieving ISO 27001 certification - the globally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) - is a significant milestone for Earth Blox and our customers.
ISO 27001 is the gold standard for managing information security. It defines a comprehensive framework of policies, processes, and controls that organisations must implement to protect data, manage risks, and ensure operational resilience.
Certification involves an independent audit process to verify that these systems meet internationally recognised best practices. By meeting the ISO 27001 standard, we demonstrate our ability to handle sensitive data with the care and diligence required in heavily regulated sectors such as finance, insurance, and supply chain management.
What does Earth Blox ISO 27001 certification cover?
Our certification covers every aspect of information security, including:
- Access control: Ensuring only authorised personnel can access sensitive information.
- Risk assessment: Regularly identifying and addressing potential threats to your data.
- Incident response: Rapidly addressing and resolving security incidents to minimise impact.
- Security awareness: Training staff to maintain a security-first culture.
- Monitoring and improvement: Continuously measuring and improving our security practices to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Why this matters for Earth Blox customers
Earth Blox provides geospatial data analytics that supports decision-making across industries where precision, confidentiality and security are non-negotiable. For example:
Finance: Investors upload assets related to financial instruments to assess nature-related risks and impacts across their portfolios for reporting to the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
Supply chains: Companies input commercially sensitive supply chain data into Earth Blox to demonstrate due diligence with supplier management processes and comply with regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Insurance: Insurers use Earth Blox to model environmental risks. ISO 27001 certification ensures sensitive datasets are handled in compliance with strict industry standards.
