Neo.Tax Achieves ISO/IEC 27001 Certification!

Earlier this month, Neo.Tax achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification! The audit from Prescient Security was a stringent one, with in-person interviews and a review of all our documentation, records, and processes relating to data security.

Why go through all that? Because the security of our customers’ data is an essential part of what we do.

What Is ISO/IEC 27001 Certification?

In 2005, the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) first jointly published their requirements for creating, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System up to their Information Security Standard.

By establishing this highest level security standard, the ISO and IEC became a proof point for customers wanting to guarantee the safety of their information. The organizations have since jointly published two updates, in 2013 and then again in 2022. 

Neo.Tax chose to be audited by Prescient Security to verify that our practices meet ISO/IEC standards. After 4 months of hard work, we passed our audit and can now proudly tell our customers: we are ISO/IEC certified!

What This Means for Neo.Tax Customers?

While the certification should deliver peace of mind to our customers that their data will always be handled with utmost care and highest privacy standards, the reality is: nothing much has changed.

Since we started Neo.Tax, we’ve always understood that data privacy was table stakes in the world of tax and accounting. Throughout the years, we have taken the steps to become compliant with SOC 2, Type II (which we also just renewed—for the second time!), as well as GDPR. But that’s mainly to tangibly show our customers what was always true: we are obsessed with protecting your sensitive data. 

So, this latest certification is another feather in our data-privacy hat, but it matters more to us, because it shows that we’ve continued to prioritize data security by constantly maintaining and improving our systems and processes.

“Protecting our customers’ data has always been deeply personal to us at Neo.Tax,” says our CTO, Firas Abuzaid. “This certification isn’t just a milestone—it’s a reminder of the trust people place in us, and we take that responsibility to heart every single day.”

“We’re not stopping here; in fact, we have already begun preparing for SOC 1 compliance, which will validate the rigor of our internal controls over financial reporting and further strengthen the trust our customers can place in our systems.”
