Piceasoft is a company that takes information security and data privacy seriously. The company operates with demanding B2B customers globally who run business-critical operations. Disruptions are not acceptable.
We interviewed Piceasoft CEO/CTO Jani Väänänen to learn more about the company’s approach to business security.
Q: Why are information security and data privacy so important?
The general target for information security is to protect sensitive information’s confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
Information about the company, employees, and customers is the most important asset; therefore, protecting this information is critical.
Q: How are security and data privacy seen at Piceasoft?
At Piceasoft, we believe that you cannot be too careful when it comes to data privacy. Any incident could lead to trust issues with our customers, and we respect and follow GDPR regulations.
We have taken several steps to ensure that data security actions are in place and that effective policies, processes, and responsibilities are defined to manage and minimize potential risks.
Q: Can you tell me a bit more about these actions?
Piceasoft has rules and policies on information security and privacy that are constantly updated and communicated to all of its employees. We also regularly arrange security knowledge and awareness training and internally communicate relevant topics using newsletters, videos, or short information-sharing sessions.
As a recognition for the work done in this area, we are certified to comply with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard.
Annual follow-up audits ensure we continuously improve our information security and data protection practices. This internationally recognized certification demonstrates that we have taken the necessary steps in our information security to protect our business. This standard also serves as a solid ground for other similar standards. Our customers can be assured that we follow the highest security standards and legislation wherever we operate.
While this requires ongoing work, and we constantly need to review and optimize our information security management system to ensure our maturity, I’m proud of our achievements. It is great to be among the highly valued group of ISO 27001-certified companies.
