ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Certified information security management system

At the heart of Validation Manager’s security is our Information Security Management System (ISMS), operated by Ascentry Finland (Finbiosoft Oy) and certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This establishes the foundational principles guiding our operations.

All our employees, contractors, and partners operate within this framework, emphasizing vigilance and security. As digital threats continually evolve, we prioritize your security, enabling you to conduct business confidently.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification applies to the ISMS of Finbiosoft Oy (Ascentry Finland). It does not certify the product itself.

Why ISO/IEC 27001:2022 matters

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a comprehensive, internationally recognized approach to information security. Aligning our Information Security Management System (ISMS) with this standard ensures that we consistently establish, maintain, and improve the processes that protect your data and secure your diagnostic workflows.

External audits

The ISMS operated by Ascentry Finland is subject to regular independent audits by independent accredited certification bodies. These external reviews verify our compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements and validate that we follow global best practices — ensuring top-level security wherever we operate.
