Background and Issues

ISO 27001 certification: A Prerequisite for Positioning Oneself in Light of the Reform

SEQINO develops a SaaS platform for electronic invoicing and pre-accounting, available as a white-label solution or via API. Its clients include banks, debt collection agencies, and accounting firms. The company was founded by two former bankers.

With the electronic invoicing reform, ISO 27001 certification is required to be registered as an approved invoicing platform (PA). It also meets the expectations of banking institutions, which evaluate their suppliers through requests for proposals and security questionnaires.

Several obstacles still needed to be overcome:

  • a standard perceived as cumbersome and complex;
  • a small team, without a Chief Information Security Officer;
  • the need to pursue both commercial and technical development in parallel.

Doing it ourselves would have required far more resources. With this support, we were able to continue making progress on our business and technological development.

Solution and Method

A project carried out through to certification

SEQINO chose to seek support so as not to devote its own resources to a specialized area, working with a partner capable of adapting to the context of the reform.

Resources mobilized: management (two partners and the CTO) and a developer trained in information security.
