Cortex Achieves ISO 27001 Certification: Our Commitment to Top-Tier Security and Compliance

Cortex has received our ISO 27001 certification via Prescient Security. This milestone reinforces our dedication to providing the highest standards of information security for our clients and partners. For engineering leaders and teams who rely on Cortex to streamline development, this certification underscores the trust they can place in us to protect their data at scale.

What is Cortex?

Cortex is an enterprise Internal Developer Portal built to accelerate the path to engineering excellence. Customers like Confluent, Rapid7, and Blackstone use Cortex to abstract away complexity for developers with a single interface for all their engineering tools, templates, and tasks. By providing a clear view into the health and state of every software component, Cortex helps engineering teams drive progress to goals, optimize productivity, reduce technical debt, and build efficient software and teams.

Security and Compliance Built into Our DNA

Cortex helps software leaders drive alignment to standards of reliability, velocity, efficiency, and risk reduction. Similarly, Cortex as a business also strives to align to these standards, understanding that each pillar improves the quality of our business, and day-to-day operations. Our ISO 27001 is a reflection of our commitment to baking security best practice into every operation, in order to best serve our customers, partners, and employees.

Why ISO 27001 Certification Matters

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that helps organizations protect sensitive information systematically and cost-effectively. The framework is built on several key components, including risk assessment, security controls, continuous monitoring, and incident response. It requires organizations to identify risks, implement security measures to mitigate them, and continuously evaluate and improve security practices. 

This certification has become an increasingly critical requirement for enterprise businesses purchasing software, as it provides reassurance that providers adhere to the most rigorous security standard and proactive data protection practices that help clients minimize risk and safeguard data integrity.

What This Means for You

This certification serves as an independently verified layer of assurance that Cortex holds ourselves accountable to the highest standards of data protection, and that our internal processes meet the rigorous demands of ISO 27001.

In short, Cortex.io’s ISO 27001 certification is more than a badge of honor—it’s our promise to our customers that they can rely on us for a secure, compliant, and resilient engineering management platform.
