A Major Milestone in Our Commitment to World‑Class Security and Trust
Cloud On Demand is proud to announce that we have achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This certification represents a significant milestone in our journey to be best‑in‑class as a secure cloud and financial technology enabler, both locally in South Africa and across the international markets we serve.
As a South African‑based financial technology and cloud services provider, Cloud On Demand specializes in delivering secure, reliable, and innovative digital solutions to the cloud provisioning and financial services sector. Our partner base operate in highly regulated, risk‑sensitive environments, and they entrust us with information that is critical to their operations. Achieving ISO/IEC 27001:2022 formally validates our long‑standing commitment to protecting that trust through globally accepted security best practices.
Why ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Matters?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the world’s leading standard for information security management. It defines how organizations must establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that protects information assets against evolving cyber threats, operational risks, and data breaches.
At its core, the standard is built around three fundamental principles:
- Confidentiality – ensuring that sensitive client, employee, and partner information is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure.
- Integrity – maintaining the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of information through controlled processes, secure development practices, and quality assurance.
- Availability – ensuring that systems and data remain accessible, resilient, and reliable whenever they are needed by authorized users.
The 2022 revision of ISO 27001 reflects today’s cloud‑first, digitally interconnected world, with a stronger focus on cloud security, threat intelligence, secure configuration, and ICT readiness. This makes the certification particularly relevant for modern cloud and fintech providers like Cloud On Demand.
Our Information Security Management System (ISMS)
Cloud On Demand’s certification was achieved through the establishment and successful audit of a comprehensive ISMS, implemented in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and assessed by an independent, accredited certification body.
Our ISMS provides a structured, risk‑based framework that governs how we manage information security across people, processes, and technology. It enables us to:
- Systematically identify and assess information security risks based on real‑world threats and business impact
- Design and implement appropriate security controls aligned to our services and client environments
- Monitor, review, and continuously improve the effectiveness of those controls over time
Information security at Cloud On Demand is not treated as a once‑off compliance exercise. It is embedded into our operational model, governance processes, solution design, and day‑to‑day decision‑making.
Continuous Commitment, Not a One‑Time Achievement
Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification is not the end of the journey, it is the foundation for continuous improvement.
We are committed to:
- Proactively identifying and mitigating emerging information security risks
- Complying with applicable legal, regulatory, and contractual security and data‑privacy obligations
- Providing ongoing security awareness and role‑based training to all employees
- Conducting regular internal audits, management reviews, and risk assessments
- Maintaining transparent and responsible communication with clients regarding our security posture and any incidents that may arise
This ongoing commitment ensures that our security controls evolve alongside the threat landscape, regulatory expectations, and the needs of our clients.
