Overview

Data protection and ISO certifications: Highest standards for security and compliance

The protection of personal data and compliance with international standards are key components of our commitment at ASC Technologies. With ISO certifications awarded by independent institutes, we offer our customers and partners the highest standards in quality management, information security and environmental management. These certifications are more than just labels - they are our promise to you that data is in safe hands and they help you to fulfil regulatory requirements.

That is why it is essential for banks and financial institutions to rely on ISO-certified partners to ensure secure solutions for their IT and cloud infrastructure. ASC is certified according to the following standards:
ISO 9001: Quality management that ensures our internal processes consistently deliver high quality, promoting efficiency and customer satisfaction.
ISO 14001: Promoting sustainable and resource-efficient processes to ensure responsible behaviour.
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II: Protecting sensitive data through proven security measures specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of the financial sector.

With these certifications, ASC helps financial service providers to protect their data and fulfil the requirements of regulatory standards.

ISO certifications: Support for BaFin and FINMA-compliance

Financial institutions rely on complying with the requirements of supervisory authorities such as BaFin in Germany and FINMA in Switzerland to ensure their ability to do business and avoid fines and other legal consequences. Although ASC as a cloud service provider is not directly subject to supervision by the financial authorities, we actively support our customers in fulfilling these requirements - for example by providing a comparison of FINMA requirements with the ISO 27001 standard.  

Our internal processes include, among other things:
Risk management: By applying the ISO standards, we systematically categorise risks and support the fulfilment of regulatory requirements in all areas of the institution.
Controls and audits: Regular internal controls and audits help us to recognise and eliminate weaknesses at an early stage.

In addition, ASC is prepared to disclose certificates and audit reports after signing a confidentiality agreement and offers financial institutions the assurance that ASC is a reliable and compliant partner within the framework of the regulatory requirements of supervisory authorities. Our ISO certifications and alignment with FINMA and BaFin requirements help financial institutions to fulfil the strict regulatory requirements. ASC offers you solutions that ensure data security, compliance and efficient implementation.
