Intego Group Achieves ISO 27001 & ISO 27701 Certification: A New Milestone in Data Security and Privacy

At Intego Group, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially achieved ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications—an important step that reinforces our commitment to securing our clients’ data and maintaining best-in-class information security and privacy standards across all areas of our business.

But what do these certifications mean—and why should you, our partners, care? Let’s break it down.

What Is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Simply put, it means we’ve built and follow a rigorous, globally recognized framework for managing and protecting sensitive information—whether it’s customer data, internal documents, or intellectual property.

This standard covers everything from risk management practices to robust security controls, ensuring that our systems and infrastructure are secure—so that all data is not just stored, but safeguarded systematically and proactively

What About ISO 27701?

ISO 27701 is the privacy-focused extension of ISO 27001. It brings data privacy into the spotlight, helping organizations like ours align with global regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.

This standard adds layers of accountability around how personal data is handled, making sure it’s collected, processed, and stored in a way that respects privacy and complies with ever-evolving legal landscapes.

Why It Matters — Especially for Intego Group

As a global technology partner with operations in software development, clinical research, and data science, our teams handle massive volumes of sensitive information—from source code to clinical trial data. These certifications matter because they:

  • Validate our security and privacy practices against international benchmarks
  • Build trust with our clients in highly regulated industries like healthcare, pharma, and finance
  • Future-proof our operations against risks in an increasingly complex digital world

The Challenges We Faced

Achieving these certifications wasn’t a checkbox exercise. It required an intense, company-wide effort. Some of the challenges included:

  • Aligning global offices (Costa Rica, Ukraine, Poland, USA) under a unified security and privacy framework
  • Upgrading infrastructure and tooling to meet stricter compliance requirements
  • Training our cross-functional teams—from developers to clinical data scientists—to embed these practices in their daily workflows
  • Adapting quickly to new regulatory pressures without slowing down innovation or delivery

How We Overcame Them

Our success came down to collaboration, transparency, and commitment:

  • We formed a dedicated compliance task force, with representation from each business unit and geography
  • We adopted a “security by design” approach, embedding risk mitigation into every project lifecycle
  • We rolled out a continuous learning program, ensuring every team member—technical or not—understood their role in data protection
  • We partnered with expert consultants to conduct independent audits and gap analyses, making sure our policies weren’t just compliant, but best-in-class

Looking Ahead: Our Promise to Clients

These certifications are more than just badges—they’re a reflection of our DNA. At Intego Group, security, privacy, and trust are not just features of our services; they are the foundation on which we build long-term partnerships.

As we continue to scale globally and serve industries where the stakes are high—from biotech to fintech—we remain steadfast in our mission to:

  • Deliver solutions that are secure by default
  • Keep evolving our compliance programs to stay ahead of regulatory changes
  • Invest in technologies and talent that elevate data governance and operational excellence

“This achievement is a testament to our people and our culture. We don’t just adapt to the gold standard—we aim to set it.”
