Cornerstone.IT Maintains Its ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification Following a Successful Surveillance Audit
by Lester Shaun Maquinao & Edgar Macasaquit, Network Operations Engineers
Cornerstone.IT has maintained its ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification through a successful surveillance audit, covering our entire organization.
ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization, and ISO 27001 is its standard for information security management. It’s often mentioned alongside SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2), though the two work differently: SOC 2 is an attestation report on how controls performed over a defined period, while ISO 27001 is a certification against the standard itself, verified through independent audit.
This certification speaks to several aspects of how we operate:
- We operate under documented security controls and policies – a practice confirmed by an outside auditor.
- We integrate the AI tools we use under proper governance and security, holding them to the same standards as the rest of our organization rather than treating them as an exception.
- We remain dedicated to protecting client data, and the systems and processes we rely on to manage client environments are included within the scope of this certification.
- We stay consistent with our compliance upkeep, and maintaining this certification requires ongoing investment, one we continue to make.
The certification applies across our entire organization, not to a single department or function.
Maintaining this certification reflects something we hold ourselves to: the discipline to see something demanding through, on our own terms, before it’s ever asked of us. That’s the same standard we bring to the work we do on behalf of our clients, whether the task at hand is routine or complex.
This achievement reflects the effort of the entire Cornerstone.IT team, and we’re grateful for the work that made it possible.
