Expanding ISO 42001 competencies

As part of our forward-looking approach to responsible AI governance, we’re investing in internal capacity to support ISO/IEC 42001, the emerging standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS).

Our team is currently acquiring internal auditor qualifications for ISO 42001 to ensure that we can independently assess and guide the development of AI systems with embedded risk controls, ethical safeguards, and regulatory readiness.

By equipping ourselves with these competencies early, we aim to stay ahead of the curve — both in assisting our clients and in applying trustworthy AI practices internally.

ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 on the roadmap

We’ve officially begun working on implementation roadmap for ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) certifications.

These international standards will reinforce our internal processes with independently verified best practices in information security, risk management, and service quality. Achieving these certifications is not only about improving operations — it's about aligning with the expectations we help our clients meet every day.

The dual implementation reflects our integrated approach to security and continuous improvement, and underscores our belief that quality and protection go hand in hand.

Up Secure Trust Portal

We’re proud to announce the launch of the Up Secure Trust Portal — a centralized space where our clients, partners, and stakeholders can access key documentation about our security, privacy, and compliance posture.

This step reflects our deep commitment to transparency and trust by design. The portal will include our security policies, privacy practices, certifications roadmap, and other relevant disclosures to help our clients evaluate us with clarity and confidence.

As a privacy and cybersecurity consultancy, it's vital that we lead by example. The Trust Portal strengthens how we demonstrate accountability and provides a scalable foundation for ongoing compliance communication.
