Surely, you\u2019ll have to add new features and make updates over time. But choosing a trusted contractor is a tricky task. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the best idea to evaluate a contractor\u2019s team by their attitude and simplicity in communication. Their presentation may give more data, but it\u2019s still insufficient for a balanced decision. <\/p>\n<p>However, for an unbiased evaluation, it\u2019s reasonable to pay attention to the team\u2019s verified processes and compliance with best practices. An easy way to do this is by comparing them to industry standards.

That\u2019s why <b>we\u2019ve earned in 2019 and proved in 2020 our ISO certifications in 3 categories<\/b>:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2792\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ALL-ISO-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"ALL ISO\" width=\"5032\" height=\"3660\" \/><br \/>\nTo us, earning ISO certification signals more than just a careful, one-off effort so we can hang a shiny certificate on the wall. It\u2019s proof that we have a constant willingness to adhere to these standards on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>So what is ISO 9001&#8217;s meaning and ISO 27001&#8217;s meaning? And why do we keep directing our efforts in this field? Let\u2019s look into it.<\/p>\n<h2>What is ISO Certification?<\/h2>\n<p>First, let\u2019s see what the meaning of ISO is. ISO abbreviation stands for the International Organization for Standardization, which develops recognized global standards for the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems. There are many ISO standards for different purposes designed with input from organizations from around the world. Each of them can strengthen your business in a certain way.<\/p>\n<h2>Significance of ISO<\/h2>\n<p>ISO standards are internationally recognized quality norms considered the best practices in various industries: IT, healthcare, logistics, security, energy infrastructure, management, agriculture, engineering, construction, government, and dozens of others. Today, there are over 23,000 ISO certification types, estimating a high level of b2b and b2c services for all business sectors.<\/p>\n<p>ISO certification is a big deal for organizations because it promises significant benefits. Here are the most perceptible ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meeting the client\u2019s requirements is one of the ISO strategic benefits. A business enhances its long-term competitiveness in the market. Customers are more loyal to certified companies, increasing customer satisfaction.<\/li>\n<li>ISO quality certification allows companies to boost their revenue by entering different markets and meeting new opportunities. ISO-certified products have no problem when entering even the most demanding US or European markets.<\/li>\n<li>Quality management system strongly elevates internal working processes in a company. As a result, business works as a clock and generates much higher revenue.<\/li>\n<li>ISO certification also impacts an organization\u2019s professional culture, changing employees\u2019 working attitudes. Moreover, top managers become more informed about the internal situation to make more accurate business decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ISO compliance alone informs your partners and clients about your serious business attitude. Even if you don\u2019t match all requirements or don\u2019t have the resources to undergo certification, it tells a lot about the company\u2019s processes, product quality, and safety.<\/p>\n<h2>ISO\/IEC 27001<\/h2>\n<p>But what does the ISO 27001 certification mean? This international standard for information security management systems (ISMS) ensures that organizations provide maximum protection of customer data. It defines 114 information security controls designed to protect data from ever-present and evolving threats such as cybercrime, personal data breaches, vandalism\/terrorism, fire\/damage, misuse, theft, and viral attacks. Essentially, ISO 27001 is a framework for implementing, monitoring, and continually improving ISMS.<\/p>\n<p><b>What this certification proves about Django Stars:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>We are continuously enhancing our risk management<\/b> to prevent information security incidents and reduce damage if they even happen. As an ISMS-accredited company, we are trusted by our clients to deal safely with their documentation and data.<\/li>\n<li><b>Our business is more resilient.<\/b> Our ISO 27001 certification shows that we carefully protect our brand against internal and external threats. Implementation of its benchmarks in our daily work allows no room for us to leave vulnerabilities unaddressed. We also strive to keep all our team members updated regarding information security.<\/li>\n<li><b>We\u2019re on the same page with the client. <\/b>Since ISO requirements are the same for companies everywhere, our processes are in line with that of the client, thus further increasing trust and effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What are the benefits for you?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Confidence in the strong protection of your data. <\/b>Our adherence to the stringent security requirements of ISO 27001 gives you confidence that your data, intellectual property, and financial records (in all forms, from digital to hard copy or cloud) are constantly monitored, protected, and kept confidential according to an NDA.<\/li>\n<li><b>Externally validated supplier. <\/b>To be ISO 27001 certified, our cybersecurity practices must be verified at least once a year by an external auditor to ensure our operations are up to date and in compliance with ISO and regulatory requirements.<\/li>\n<li><b>GDPR compliance. <\/b>Given the increased governmental focus on data protection laws and regulations such as the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU GDPR, companies should choose suppliers who can prove they adhere to these rules. As a global standard, ISO 27001 defines personally identifiable information controls that assist with GDPR compliance and support strong data security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2794\" src=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IEEC-27002.png\" alt=\"ISO 27001\" width=\"5032\" height=\"5180\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>ISO 9001<\/h2>\n<p>This is the globally recognized <b>quality management system (QMS) <\/b>standard for companies. It\u2019s designed to regulate the processes used to create a product and deliver it to the customer. The main objective of ISO 9001 is quality control underpinned by the following seven key principles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer focus<\/li>\n<li>Leadership<\/li>\n<li>Engagement of people<\/li>\n<li>Process approach<\/li>\n<li>Improvement<\/li>\n<li>Evidence-based decision-making<\/li>\n<li>Relationship management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What this certification proves about Django Stars:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>We build a systematic approach to management and decision-making<\/b> regularly assessed by an independent auditor.

Its rules respond to growing concerns in modern society about the environmental impact of organizations, both locally and internationally. In IT, many executives tend to underestimate their involvement in this process. But we see that the reality is somewhat different: in the modern world, processes are closely intertwined. In particular, the EMS deals with your travel, equipment supplies, internal influences, and others.<\/p>\n<p><b>What this certification proves about Django Stars:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>We minimize environmental impact<\/b>, both immediate and long-term.

Moreover, it helps to reduce costs and provide better outcomes for the company\u2019s customers and stakeholders.<\/li>\n<li>After adopting ISO standards, a company lowers technical trade barriers and improves its position in the international market. It facilitates economic security and creates a perfect framework for active growth.<\/li>\n<li>ISO standards are recognized in many countries at a legislative level. When an organization becomes ISO-certified, it shows a certain high level of quality, data security, and other critical issues that may influence its performance in national markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ISO certificate is an undisputed quality indicator, so implementing ISO standards will positively affect every part of the organization\u2019s performance.<br \/>\n<div class=\"info_box_shortcode_holder\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/djangostars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Technology-Consulting.png)\">\n    <div class=\"info_box_label\">\n    Services\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"info_box_logo\">\n    \n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"info_box_title font_size_\">\n   <span class=\"info_box_title_inner\">Tech consultancy: Get advantage.&lt;br \/&gt;&nbsp;<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"info_box_link\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/djangostars.com\/services\/software-consultancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" >\n            <span>Learn More<\/span>\n            <div class=\"button_animated\">\n                <svg width=\"24\" height=\"12\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 12\" fill=\"none\"\n                     xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path d=\"M23.725 5.33638C23.7248 5.3361 23.7245 5.33577 23.7242 5.33549L18.8256 0.460497C18.4586 0.0952939 17.865 0.096653 17.4997 0.463684C17.1345 0.830668 17.1359 1.42425 17.5028 1.7895L20.7918 5.06249H0.9375C0.419719 5.06249 0 5.48221 0 5.99999C0 6.51777 0.419719 6.93749 0.9375 6.93749H20.7917L17.5029 10.2105C17.1359 10.5757 17.1345 11.1693 17.4998 11.5363C17.865 11.9034 18.4587 11.9046 18.8256 11.5395L23.7242 6.66449C23.7245 6.66421 23.7248 6.66388 23.7251 6.6636C24.0923 6.29713 24.0911 5.70163 23.725 5.33638Z\"\n                          fill=\"#282828\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                <div class=\"shape\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Now you know what does iso certification stand for and why ISOfication matters.
