We recognize that security is a priority for enterprises undergoing database modernization initiatives,” said Maurice Olsen, Director, Information Security and Compliance at Yugabyte. “As the company behind the distributed SQL database of choice for business-critical workloads, we are committed to delivering the necessary features and processes to ensure YugabyteDB can safely manage large amounts of critical data in production environments.”

To achieve this certification, Yugabyte’s compliance was validated by an independent certification body after demonstrating a repeatable, systematic approach to managing and protecting customer data. The official ISO 27001 certification further demonstrates the maturity of Yugabyte’s security program, differentiating the industry-leading open source distributed SQL database, YugabyteDB, from other offerings.
