Schréder obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its Schréder EXEDRA platform. This is a widely used, internationally recognised standard for establishing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), which helps to embed and further mature our security controls through risk management, moving towards continuous improvement, ultimately leading to improved service delivery and customer satisfaction, and managing compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, NIS). It is also a risk-based approach to information security, allowing Schréder to focus on relevant threats and key information assets.
