ESG Data Protection: What Security Certifications Mean for You

Selecting a secure and compliant SaaS provider is critical in meeting today’s stringent regulatory, risk, and data protection requirements. In this article, we explore how Greenomy’s ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 certifications serve as independently audited assurance of our robust information security, privacy management, and operational resilience. Learn how these certifications help mitigate vendor risk, accelerate security due diligence, and align with frameworks such as GDPR and DORA—supporting your organisation’s compliance objectives from the outset.

ESG Data Protection: What Security Certifications Mean for You

When selecting a software partner, robust information security is not merely a differentiator—it is a fundamental requirement. At Greenomy, we have proactively pursued achieving internationally recognised certifications—ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2—to provide our customers with verified, third-party assurance of our commitment to data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance. These certifications serve as concrete evidence of operational excellence and risk management capabilities.

Here is how these certifications make your life easier and your Risk team’s job simpler.

Third-Party Certification = Instant Reassurance

Today’s organisations increasingly look for clear evidence of a vendor’s security and compliance practices, rather than relying on verbal assurances. Procurement and risk management teams frequently highlight the importance of partnering with vendors that operate within a proven, externally audited security framework. In many cases, ISO or SOC 2 certifications are a prerequisite for consideration. Greenomy’s certifications—ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2—provide precisely that level of assurance. 

ISO & SOC certifications: explanation

Independently audited and validated by third-party bodies, these certifications offer our customers confidence that our security posture meets globally recognised standards. Moreover, many security questionnaires and due diligence processes are significantly streamlined when these certifications are provided, often allowing customers to bypass extensive sections altogether. In essence, our commitment to certified compliance reduces friction in the procurement process and builds immediate trust with your risk and security teams.

Security Beyond the Certificate: Continuous Testing & Validation

While certifications provide a solid foundation, customers increasingly expect evidence of ongoing security management beyond the initial audit. Common questions from security and procurement teams include: “How do you test your systems for vulnerabilities?” and “What measures are in place post-certification?”. 

At Greenomy, we take a proactive approach to security by going beyond compliance checklists. Our systems undergo regular external penetration testing, continuous vulnerability scanning, and are subject to robust change management procedures. These measures ensure that our platform remains resilient against emerging threats and aligned with best practices over time. In short, security at Greenomy is not a one-off exercise—it is a continuous commitment to safeguarding your data and maintaining operational integrity.

A penetration test—commonly referred to as a pen test—is a controlled and authorised simulated cyberattack conducted by security experts to evaluate the resilience of an organisation’s IT systems, applications, and infrastructure. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors, assess the effectiveness of existing security controls, and uncover potential weaknesses before they can be targeted in real-world scenarios.

Continuous vulnerability scanning
refers to the ongoing, automated process of detecting security weaknesses in an organisation’s systems, networks, or applications. Instead of running scans occasionally, this approach ensures that vulnerabilities are identified in real time or at regular short intervals, so they can be addressed quickly—reducing the window of opportunity for attackers.

Simplifying Security Assessments: ISO = Less Paperwork

Security assessments are often a significant hurdle in the procurement process, with organisations frequently requesting extensive documentation—sometimes in the form of 100-question security questionnaires. At Greenomy, we understand the burden this places on both internal stakeholders and prospective customers. Our ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 certifications provide a comprehensive framework that aligns with the vast majority of security and compliance requirements typically covered in such assessments. 

As a result, many procurement teams recognise these certifications as sufficient evidence of compliance, enabling them to streamline due diligence and accelerate the onboarding process. By providing pre-validated assurance, we help reduce administrative overhead and facilitate faster, more efficient vendor approval.

Full Transparency via Our Trust Portal

While certifications offer strong baseline assurance, many organisations still require additional transparency into a vendor’s security posture. Procurement and compliance teams often request detailed documentation such as security policies, incident response procedures, and technical controls to support their internal due diligence. To meet this need, Greenomy offers full visibility through our Trust Portal—a dedicated platform where customers can access all relevant security and compliance documentation. 

This includes our ISO and SOC 2 certifications, detailed security policies, testing evidence, and other supporting materials. By centralising this information in a self-service environment, we eliminate the need for time-consuming back-and-forth exchanges and empower our customers with immediate access to the evidence they need.

Demonstrating Compliance in Areas That Matter to You

Greenomy’s ISO and SOC 2 certifications are not simply badges of compliance—they directly address the most common concerns raised by procurement, compliance, and risk management teams during the evaluation process. From data protection and regulatory alignment to incident response and documentation transparency, our certifications provide tangible answers backed by independently audited frameworks.
