It’s expensive and time consuming.

I passed my first audit last week. I know exactly what it entails.

I would have expected Proton to have had this certificate a while ago.

kudos on them passing the audit though.

Awesome congrats! Maybe they didn’t need it if they are mostly business to consumer focused and average users don’t ask for it?

Thanks 😊

It's true that 27001 is more valued in the industry. The lack of the certificate also doesn't imply they have no information security management system.

I was surprised they weren't certified yet.
