A New Standard in Financial Management: Paynest Achieves ISO 27001 Certification

This year, Paynest reached an important milestone for its operations: obtaining ISO 27001 certification.

ISO 27001 is the international standard and benchmark for Information Security Management. By achieving this certification, we have confirmed the adoption of processes and controls designed to mitigate and manage operational risks, ensuring the security of our partners’ data.

The process was rigorous, assessing Paynest holistically rather than focusing solely on its software. It covered systematic risk assessment, the implementation of security controls, continuous improvement processes, and the maintenance of records and evidence.

As part of this process, we reviewed and strengthened our internal processes, suppliers, and integrations to increase the reliability and security of our information and systems, ensuring confidentiality, availability, and integrity.

All Paynest employees are trained and regularly updated on information security matters, including mandatory training and regular system updates. This preparation is essential to address the risks associated with emerging technologies, which are evolving rapidly, particularly in the era of Artificial Intelligence.

This certification is an important mark of credibility that opens up new opportunities for Paynest. For large companies in Portugal and Spain, compliance with ISO 27001 is a requirement when selecting technology partners. Given their size and scope of operations, these organisations seek to work with partners they can trust to handle sensitive information with the highest level of rigour.

By demonstrating a strong commitment to protecting the information of our customers and partners, this certification further strengthens Paynest’s position as a trusted provider in financial management.
