Why braintec is getting ISO 27001 certified
Information security, trust, reliability, and professionalism are the foundation of every successful business relationship. As the leading Odoo Partner in Europe, braintec sets itself apart from other Odoo consulting companies through exact these standards. To sustainably solidify our qualities, we are implementing ISO 27001 – the global gold standard for information security.
For medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and corporates in the DACH region, the protection of sensitive business data is a core issue. Working with an ISO/IEC 27001 certified IT partner offers concrete benefits: Most importantly, the certainty that information security risks are systematically handled through an internationally recognised and audited risk management system. This minimises a company's own business risk and saves time-consuming security checks on service providers.
"The journey to ISO 27001 certification reflects our commitment to continuously improving our work, protecting our information assets, and exceeding the high expectations of our clients and partners," explains Sarah Dema, Management Assistant and responsible for the ISO implementation at braintec.
"Currently, the full focus of our entire organisation is required: We are examining all our processes and workflows, the customer journey, and our risk management down to the smallest detail. It is about living a true security culture."
"When SMEs and large companies trust us with their ERP projects, they can be sure that their systems are functionally leading and fully protected. Because braintec offers a consistently security-focused ecosystem – from the core software Odoo through implementation to services."
Odoo is ISO 27001 certified
As an ERP system, Odoo bundles the most important business processes – from accounting and HR to customer data (CRM) and supply chains. For SMEs and corporates, a failure or data leak represents a significant business risk. Odoo offers a crucial advantage here: Odoo S.A., the creator of the business software, operates an ISO/IEC 27001 certified Information Security Management System.
As part of the audit*, the following areas were highlighted where Odoo's management system particularly stands out compared to other enterprise software:
Robust technical controls: Strict standards for backup management (data resilience) and logical access control help ensure that sensitive environments remain isolated and protected.
Security by Design: Security is an integral part of the development process at the code level. Furthermore, the Secure Development Lifecycle is a fundamental pillar of the Odoo suite.
Awareness as Culture: Security is a mindset at Odoo and not an isolated task of a department. The audit team noted a high level of security awareness and deep organisational understanding throughout the company.
Leadership engaegment: Odoo's management treats security as a highly prioritized resource with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

What is ISO 27001? The global gold standard
ISO is the internationally used abbreviation for the "International Organization for Standardization". Independent certification bodies control and verify whether the processes and structures of a company meet the requirements of the respective standard.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for the systematic protection of sensitive information and processes through a structured Information Security Management System (ISMS). "The framework helps us identify risks and adequately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, intellectual property, as well as data from employees and third parties," explains Sarah Dema.
The CIA Triangle
The entire ISO framework is built on three core pillars of information security, known as the "CIA Triad":
Confidentiality: Your data is strictly secured and accessible only by authorized persons.
Integrity: Your data is accurate, reliable, and protected from unauthorized changes.
Availability: We ensure a highly resilient system architecture so that authorized users can access their data.
