Trust is the new currency. Whether you're handling sensitive personal data or delivering digital services at scale, your clients, partners, and regulators all ask the same question:

“Can we trust you?”

At SCARPEL LIMITED, we just answered that question with a resounding yes — backed by internationally recognized proof.

We’re proud to be certified under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security Management) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management). But let’s go beyond the headline. These aren’t just shiny logos, they’re strategic assets. Here's why:

1. ISO Certifications Are Not Sheets of Paper – They Bring Operational Discipline

According to ISO’s global survey, over 2 million ISO certificates were issued worldwide by the end of 2023 — a number that continues to rise. Why? Because these frameworks instill real, measurable discipline into how companies operate.

• ISO 9001 ensures organizations operate with customer-centric quality at every level, driving consistency and performance.
• ISO 27001 empowers companies to manage and reduce cybersecurity risks through a formalized framework, proven through third-party audits.

This isn’t bureaucracy — it’s business resilience in the face of risks and incidents.

A stark reality: 60% of European SMEs that suffer a cyber breach disappear within six months of receiving the attack because they cannot afford the losses.

2. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Is the Gold Standard for Data Protection Matching Today's Cybersecurity Reality

The 2022 revision of ISO 27001 isn’t just a cosmetic update — it reflects the shift in today’s cyber threat landscape. The number of security controls was streamlined to 93, organized into four clear categories:

• Organizational
• People
• Physical
• Technological

New and modernized controls include:

• Threat intelligence
• Data masking
• Cloud security
• Physical monitoring

These enhancements make ISO 27001:2022 more relevant and responsive to cloud-native, digitally interconnected operations of today.

With the rise of global privacy and security laws like GDPR, NIS2 Directive, and emerging AI regulations, ISO 27001:2022 is the most internationally recognized way to prove the robustness of your safeguards.

3. ISO 9001:2015 Proves You Don’t Just Talk Quality, You Aim at Delivering It

ISO 9001:2015 is the world’s most widely adopted quality management standard, designed to ensure consistency and continuous improvement of your service quality controls.

At its core, it uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to align all business processes with customer satisfaction and operational efficiency at the forefront.

According to Advisera, ISO 9001-certified organizations experience fewer product defects, higher customer loyalty, and stronger team alignment.

A Harvard Business Review study found that ISO-certified companies had higher survival rates — especially during market downturns — due to their embedded process resilience.

Quality isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a system, and ISO 9001 serves as its blueprint.

4. Your Clients Are Checking, and Certification Wins Business

Whether it’s an enterprise procurement process or SaaS security review, ISO certifications are no longer optional — they’re deal breakers.

ISO certification is important for both vendors and customers. In data-sensitive industries like finance, insurance, or healthcare, ISO 27001 is often considered a minimum requirement for vendor approval.

While not a legal requirement, ISO 27001 helps organizations align with key acts — including GDPR and the NIS2 Directive — by providing a structured approach to data protection and risk management.

To validate credibility, buyers and partners now rely on public registries like IAF CertSearch, where they can verify certification status. If a vendor is not listed, it can raise red flags — especially during compliance due diligence.

ISO certification signals that its holder is serious about accountability and service excellence.

5. These Certifications Complement Each Other and Future-Proof Your Foundation

Smart organizations are moving toward integrated management systems — for good reason. Both ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 follow the Annex SL framework, which ensures consistency in the structure and requirements across various ISO standards.

This framework:

• Makes it easier to align with the requirements of different standards
• Streamlines record-keeping
• Improves internal governance
• Ensures a unified and measurable risk and incident management procedure

This is why many companies, including SCARPEL LIMITED, pursue both certifications. One handles security, the other ensures quality — and combined, they create a resilient, scalable foundation for future growth.

Certifications Are Just the Beginning

SCARPEL LIMITED didn’t get certified for the sake of it. We did it to embed a higher standard of discipline, protection, and performance into our corporate DNA.

And in 2025, when digital resilience defines market success, that commitment is not transient — but a strategic one.

Whether you're a client, partner, or industry peer, please be confident that we’re not just maintaining our standards — we’re raising them.
