Why this matters for Oak’s clients
ISO 27001 is the world’s leading standard for information security management. Opera’s certification validates that Oak’s operations sit on a platform backed by rigorous policies, strong risk management and global best practices.
Keshav Ramrecha, Group Head of Information Security at Opera, who led the implementation of ISO 27001 for the group said:
“Achieving this certification demonstrates how our platform meets the highest global standard for information security, compliance and governance. This certification reflects months of rigorous work reflecting our commitment to information security”.
For Oak’s clients and partners, this means:
- Confidence that Oak operates on a certified and secure platform.
- Assurance that sensitive data is managed with the highest standards of care.
- Reduced risk exposure and strengthened trust in the services Oak delivers.
Reflecting on the achievement, John Doublard, Group Chief Technology Officer, shared:
“Achieving ISO 27001 certification was a key deliverable within our Technology strategy. This accomplishment is a clear reflection of our commitment to protecting the integrity and confidentiality of client, employee and third-party data. It demonstrates that we meet the highest international standards and that we are continually focused on evolving our systems, processes and culture to stay ahead of security risks”.
A rigorous certification journey
Opera’s certification process was extensive, involving technology improvements, HR security alignment and organisation-wide awareness training. The audit concluded with zero major or minor non-conformities, a rare outcome that reflects the strength of the systems on which Oak relies.
By operating on Opera’s certified platform, Oak is able to extend these standards of security and resilience directly to its clients.
"Earning ISO 27001 certification is more than a badge, it’s a strategic investment in trust. For our clients, it reinforces that their data is handled with the highest standards of security and care. Achievements like this don’t come from flashy initiatives; they come from doing the essential, often unseen work that strengthens the foundation of our business. This milestone reflects our long-term commitment to resilience, integrity and delivering secure, future-ready services."
Looking ahead
Opera’s achievement of ISO 27001 certification provides Oak with a solid foundation for future growth and innovation. The certification is not a one-time accomplishment, it represents a long-term commitment to continually improving systems and adapting to an evolving security landscape. It ensures that Oak’s services remain secure, resilient and aligned with evolving regulatory and client expectations.
