This certification underpins every aspect of Facctum’s RegTech platform, from Customer Screening and Watchlist Management to Payment Screening, ensuring that clients’ compliance data is protected from unauthorised access, corruption, or loss.
Why ISO 27001 Matters for Compliance Platforms
Financial institutions rely on third-party technology providers to process highly sensitive customer and transaction data. Regulators, including the Financial Conduct Authority and the European Banking Authority, require firms to demonstrate effective oversight of their vendors’ security and data protection practices.
ISO 27001 certification validates that Facctum applies a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS) with continuous monitoring, risk assessment, and control improvement. This provides customers with confidence that Facctum adheres to international best practices for managing data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Facctum’s Approach to Data Protection
Facctum implements a multi-layered data protection model that covers infrastructure, application design, and operational governance.
Encryption at Rest and in Transit: Sensitive data is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 and TLS 1.3 protocols.
Access Control and Authentication: Role-based access ensures that only authorised personnel can access production environments.
Continuous Monitoring: Systems are monitored 24/7 for anomalous activity, potential intrusion, and performance degradation.
Data Segmentation: Client environments are logically separated to prevent cross-data exposure in multi-tenant deployments.
Regular Penetration Testing: Security testing and vulnerability scanning are conducted by independent assessors.
Every measure is backed by documented security policies, employee training, and incident response procedures aligned with ISO 27001 control objectives.
Governance and Compliance Framework
Before detailing operational measures, it’s important to understand Facctum’s governance structure. The company embeds compliance within its organisational design, integrating risk management, audit readiness, and data lifecycle oversight into daily operations.
Information Security Management System (ISMS): Defines governance structure, policies, and control responsibilities.
Data Governance Framework: Aligns with GDPR and regional data privacy laws to manage data ownership, retention, and deletion.
Independent Audit and Certification: Regularly audited by accredited ISO assessors to ensure ongoing compliance.
Incident Management Procedures: Documented workflows for identifying, reporting, and resolving security incidents.
Vendor Risk Oversight: Continuous due diligence on third-party providers to maintain end-to-end supply chain integrity.
These governance layers ensure that compliance with ISO 27001 isn’t static. It evolves as new threats and regulatory expectations emerge.
Integration with Facctum Products
All Facctum products share a unified security foundation. Whether deploying Alert Adjudication for case management or Transaction Monitoring for real-time analytics, clients benefit from the same ISO 27001-backed security controls.
This standardisation ensures consistent protection of data across multiple environments, reducing risk exposure while streamlining compliance verification.
