What Is ISO/IEC 27001—and Why It Matters for SolasOS
At SolasOS, we believe that building secure, trusted systems starts with deliberate choices made at the very beginning. That’s why we invested in achieving ISO/IEC 27001, the world’s leading standard for information security.But what exactly is ISO 27001, and why should it matter to our users, partners, and community? Let’s break it down.
Understanding ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this standard provides a structured framework for:
Identifying and managing security risks
Protecting sensitive data (whether it’s digital, physical, or intellectual) Continuously improving security posture over time

Why ISO 27001 Matters—Especially for Startups
In early-stage companies, it’s tempting to focus all energy on product development and speed. But at SolasOS, we’ve made a deliberate choice to build with security from the ground up. Here’s why that matters:Trust is everything. Whether you’re a customer, partner, or investor, you deserve to know your data is handled responsibly. Prevention beats cure. The cost—financial and reputational—of a breach can be devastating. ISO 27001 helps us identify risks early and respond effectively. Future-proofing. As we scale, having a solid ISMS makes it easier to work with enterprise clients, meet regulatory requirements, and pass security audits.In short, adopting ISO 27001 principles now helps us move fast and build trust—without compromise.
