Podfather retains ISO 27001 certification following latest audit

We’re pleased to announce that Podfather has once again successfully retained its ISO 27001 certification. Having first achieved this internationally recognised standard in 2019, our continued accreditation demonstrates the strength of the security practices embedded throughout our business.

This year’s audit was overseen by our Information Security Manager, David, who joined the business in 2024. His leadership, combined with the ongoing commitment of our wider team, ensured we met the high standards required for recertification.

“We are delighted to have retained our ISO 27001 certification again, as it really is THE certification to have in place if you want to show that security is part of your company culture and business practices,” comments Colin McCreadie, Podfather’s Managing Director.  “It takes real commitment from both our information security team and the wider business as a whole to retain such a well-regarded accolade.”

The audit process included a thorough review of our Information Security Management System (ISMS), policies, and procedures, ensuring that our systems, processes and team practices meet the rigorous expectations set out in the ISO 27001 standard.

For those unfamiliar, ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised best practice standard for managing information security. It ensures companies like Podfather are managing sensitive information in a secure, reliable and risk-aware manner.

We believe this certification is essential for any software provider operating in the logistics and SaaS space. Here’s why:

• Trust: ISO 27001 accreditation proves we’ve put the right processes in place to handle sensitive information securely.
• Continuous improvement: Regular audits keep us focused on evolving and improving.
• Risk-aware: Our approach to security is proactive, not reactive.
• Commitment: It takes sustained effort and investment to retain this certification year after year.
• Compliance: Our ISMS ensures we remain compliant with GDPR, PECR and other regulatory requirements.

“Our ISO 27001 certification shows that we mean business when it comes to information security,” adds McCreadie.
