Compliance and certification
Customer trust is our top priority. Our pragmatic and efficient security is built on the technical expertise and professionalism of our teams, allowing our users to understand our approach while maintaining control.
The policies implemented must be transparent, and produce measurable results. They must also adapt to changing threats, and be similar between providers. To achieve this, we certify our solutions to the very highest security standards.
Independent auditors regularly monitor and evaluate the level of security, confidentiality and compliance of the solutions we offer. They then issue certificates and audit reports, attesting to the very high level of protection our services receive.
We contractually commit to comply with the regulations that are in force in the territories where we operate. As we are headquartered in Europe, protecting data confidentiality is central to our business, in line with the GDPR.
Some business sectors have specific regulatory factors and constraints. We are taking a specific compliance approach to meet these needs, particularly in areas such as healthcare, finance, industry and the public sector.
