Big news – SDK.finance is now ISO 27001:2022 certified, the most widely recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Awarded by DNV Business Assurance, this certification proves our commitment to safeguarding sensitive financial data and operating at the highest level of security in the FinTech industry.
This milestone complements SDK.finance’s existing compliance initiatives and reinforces our position as a trusted technology provider for banks, FinTechs, and enterprises worldwide. For our clients, it means greater assurance that security isn’t just an added feature. It’s embedded in every aspect of the SDK.finance Platform.
ISO 27001:2022: The Gold Standard for Information Security
The ISO 27001:2022 certification represents the latest and most comprehensive version of the internationally recognised Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard. For SDK.finance, this achievement validates the implementation of a systematic, risk-based approach to information security management across all business operations.
It requires a structured, risk-based approach across four core domains:
-
Organisational controls
-
People controls
-
Physical controls
-
Technological controls
By covering everything from supplier management and encryption to incident response, the certification ensures a holistic approach to security, one that addresses the complex challenges facing modern FinTech platforms.
Continuous Security Commitment
The certification confirms that SDK.finance operates a framework of ongoing improvement. This includes:
-
Regular risk assessments and audits
-
Vulnerability management
-
Advanced monitoring processes
It also reflects our readiness to handle emerging threats, such as cloud vulnerabilities, supply chain risks, and sophisticated cyberattacks.
Business Impact for Clients and Partners
Global recognition
As a certification issued by DNV Business Assurance with UKAS accreditation, ISO 27001:2022 is recognised in over 150 countries. Research shows that 74% of certified companies report stronger customer trust, while 66% gain a competitive edge.
Compliance alignment
ISO 27001 helps streamline compliance with regulations such as GDPR and supports SDK.finance in serving clients across multiple jurisdictions. For enterprises, it means faster onboarding of a technology partner already aligned with international requirements.
Dual security framework
Alongside our PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, ISO 27001:2022 provides a dual certification model. While PCI DSS focuses on payment system security, ISO extends protection across all business operations, creating comprehensive coverage.
Security by Design
SDK.finance’s Platform architecture is designed with security at its core:
-
470+ REST API endpoints supporting flexible integrations
-
Event-driven architecture (Kafka) ensuring real-time resilience
-
Kubernetes-based containerisation for consistent deployment
-
2,700+ transactions per second in baseline configuration
These features combine scalability and performance with the assurance of operating within a certified security framework.
Looking Ahead
Information security is no longer a checkbox. It’s a prerequisite for growth, partnerships, and investment. ISO 27001:2022 significantly reduces risks for our clients and simplifies due diligence for partners and investors.
“Information security is not a one-off achievement, it’s an ongoing responsibility,” said Alex Malyshev, CEO of SDK.finance. “Earning ISO 27001:2022 certification proves that security is built into the DNA of our Platform. Our clients can focus on growing their businesses with confidence, knowing their financial data is protected according to the highest international standards.”
