Certifications

Peppol PKI certificate

ℹ️
Software vendors with their own Peppol production certificate can send and receive Peppol messages directly over the network, without relying on third parties. For customers, this typically results in faster e-invoice processing, fewer errors, increased reliability, shorter support lines, and lower costs by eliminating external service providers.

Peppol certified provider

ℹ️
A certified Peppol Service Provider is recognized by Open Peppol as a trusted access point to the PEPPOL network, meaning the provider meets all technical, security, and interoperability requirements for sending and receiving e-invoices and other business documents.

ISO 27017 (Cloud security)

ℹ️
ISO 27017 is an international standard that provides additional guidelines for information security in cloud environments. The standard builds on ISO 27001 and specifies extra security controls for both cloud service providers and cloud service customers. ISO 27017 clarifies which responsibilities lie with the cloud provider and which with the customer, and offers guidance on managing cloud-specific risks such as shared infrastructure, access management, and data deletion.

GDPR-Compliant

ℹ️
GDPR compliance means that an organization complies with the European privacy law (AVG) by processing personal data safely, transparently and lawfully. Important requirements are consent, data minimization, security and respect for user rights such as access and deletion.

ISAE 3402 (SOC 1 Typ 2)

ℹ️
ISAE 3402 is an international assurance standard for reports on internal controls at service organizations. It is internationally equivalent to SOC 1 and focuses on controls relevant to financial reporting. A Type II report assesses both the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a defined period (typically 6–12 months).
