Oxylabs Receives ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

We have recently certified our Information Security Management System according to the ISO/IEC 27001:2017 standard, showing proof of the quality of our services and fueling our commitment to excellence.

What’s an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate?

Developed by ISO and IEC, ISO 27001 is an industry-leading standard that helps businesses implement, manage, and improve their ISMS (Information Security Management System). Companies adhering to its requirements ensure they handle data securely and protect it against possible threats.

ISO/IEC 27001 covers various kinds of information — from business to personal data — and how it is stored (digital and physical copies or third-party suppliers). It also plays a normative role, defining specific requirements an ISMS must meet to be certified. These requirements are as rigorous as they are numerous, but they all follow three core principles:

• Confidentiality: Only authorized people can access information.

• Information integrity: The organization protects data from erasure or damage.

• Availability of data: Data is always available to authorized persons.

So, the certificate focuses on more than just software and hardware — it also addresses policies, workflows, and people.

Excellence in security and innovation

Organizations can choose to become ISO/IEC 27001 compliant or certified. Compliance means the company follows the standard's good practices but has not been formally assessed. However, to become certified, they must undergo months of preparation, concluding in a thorough audit performed by a certification body. For a growing company like Oxylabs, which operates within the web data field, getting the ISO/IEC 27001 certification was an important step.

Innovation is one of our core values, but leading the market with cutting-edge solutions demands a secure foundation. This certification gave us a much-welcomed chance to take stock of our data security strengths and weaknesses, secure vulnerabilities, and improve cyber resilience. Most importantly, it positions us as reliable business partners, delivering solutions to our customers with security, trust, and excellence.
