Checklists

To carry out business, today’s SaaS organisations must demonstrate some level of compliance with internationally recognised cybersecurity standards. For SaaS companies, ISO 27001 is the certification that is most requested by customers. Obtaining such certification allows companies to demonstrate a systematic approach to information security supported by a credible commitment to employ best practices and continuously improve.

To obtain the certification companies must put in place an Information Security Management System (ISMS) conforming to the ISO 27001 standard. For SaaS companies, creating a basic ISMS should not require large investments. Knowing how to obtain ISO 27001 efficiently and an understanding of what a minimal implementation looks like is all that is required.

In 2023 the technology industry experienced a surge of open source LLM models being released. In the first half of 2024, many companies are now getting their hands on these open-source LLM models looking for ways to integrate them in their products and processes.

While the availability of open-source LLMs opens exciting possibilities for companies worldwide, for many security teams this poses a challenge: introducing these LLMs in a safe and compliant way within company products or processes.
