BANDUNG, Indonesia, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Evermos proudly announces its recent achievement of ISO 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS), reaffirming the company's commitment to delivering the highest standards of security across its entire platform and services, including those provided by its business unit, Everpro.

"Evermos users have varying levels of digital literacy. Many of them are housewives and underserved communities. We want anyone using our platform to feel secure during their interactions on Evermos," explained Iqbal Muslimin, Co-founder and Chief of Sustainability at Evermos. "Furthermore, the implementation of data security is a significant effort within the framework of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) as part of the company's commitment to sustainability."

Despite the typical timeframe of six months for ISO 27001 certification, Evermos accomplished this in just four months, starting from the initial planning stages to the audit process conducted by the national certification organization.

• Physical Control: Ensuring the physical security of information assets.
• Organizational Control: Establishing organizational processes and policies for managing information security.
• People Control: Implementing measures to ensure employees understand and comply with security policies.
