Technology Start-Up ID Crypt Global has successfully implemented multiple ISO standards and achieved certification with UKAS accredited body Alcumus ISOQAR, with support from Assent Risk Management.

Implementing the standards for Information Security, Business Continuity and Environmental management within a remote start-up company provided several challenges and opportunities. 

By embedding best practices across these disciplines at an early stage, the business has created a solid foundation and company culture on which to scale.

However, with minimum aspects affecting the environment and a highly resilient technology infrastructure already in place, the company had to think carefully about how it could drive continual improvement.

With support from Assent Risk Management, ID Crypt built a compliant integrated management system which was tested through several internal audits before undergoing the external audit process leading to certification.

What is Self-Sovereign Identity?

ID Crypt Global builds solutions based on the principles of “Self-Sovereign Identity”. This means that an individual or company always owns their identity, facilitating identity-based services without the risks associated with centralised databases.

This enables solutions from “secure peer-to-peer discovery and messaging” to “privacy first age verification” where only the data or proof needed is shared.

“Assent challenged ID Crypt to consider the key components required to secure, support and describe our business processes. This enabled the development of systemic controls and documentation to meet the ISO standards, all of which are essential and invaluable to support our future growth. The friendly and professional ongoing support of the Assent team has been critical to this success.”
