Zetta Genomics is excited to announce that we have successfully passed our Stage 2 ISO27001 audit! This is an important milestone for our organisation, reaffirming our commitment to information security and safeguarding data.
ISO27001 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Passing Stage 2 demonstrates that we not only have strong systems in place but that they are fully operational, meeting rigorous standards to protect sensitive information. For a genomic database like ours, this certification is more than a badge of honor—it’s a testament to the trust our users place in us.
For our customers—such as researchers, hospitals, and healthcare organizations—this certification is a clear signal of our dedication to protecting sensitive genomic data. It ensures that the information they rely on is handled with the utmost care, underpinned by industry-leading security practices. Whether advancing groundbreaking research or delivering critical patient care, our customers can trust that their data is safe with us.
