Roost® Achieves ISO 27001 Certification

Commitment to Information Security and Data Privacy with Roost Property Telematics Platform

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roost, the leader in Property Telematics for the Insurance Industry, today announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, the international standard defining best practices for information security management systems. Compliance with these standards demonstrates Roost’s commitment to a world class, continuously improving, information security and data privacy program.

For Roost’s customers, this certification means that all data entrusted to Roost by carriers and their policyholders is protected within a world class Information Security Management System that maintains the best practices in information privacy and security available today. Part of that Certification ensures that Roost’s information systems are constantly monitored and tested for potential weakness, and then continuously improved and strengthened.

“As the leading provider of property telematics solutions to some of the largest insurance carriers in the world, there is intense focus on information security and data privacy,” says CEO Roel Peeters.  “Dedicating the resources to achieve ISO 27001 certification was an easy decision.  It’s very important to us that we have an information management system our customers can rely on to protect the data they give us.  By dedicating the resources to develop an ISO27001 certified system, we think we’ve achieved the gold standard for information security and data privacy.  Our customers deserve nothing less.”

Established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the ISO27001 standard requires the certification of an organization’s basic information security management system (ISO27001) as well as certification of specific information controls for areas such as data access, business continuity, HR management, physical and communications security, new development, and supplier security management.
