By

Director of Product Marketing at Worksuite

TLDR: Worksuite has renewed its ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for 2026, independently audited by A-LIGN. ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems. The 2026 renewal is certified under the updated ISO 27001:2022 framework, which introduced 11 new controls covering cloud security, threat intelligence, and data masking. Worksuite is also SOC 2 Type II attested, GDPR compliant, and CCPA compliant. Enterprise teams can request the certificate of compliance, audit scope, and security questionnaire responses directly from their account representative.

Your InfoSec team has questions. We have answers.

Worksuite has successfully renewed its ISO/IEC 27001 certification for 2026 — independently audited by A-LIGN, one of the leading compliance and cybersecurity audit firms in the world. The audit came back clean.

If you've been through an enterprise software evaluation lately, you know the drill: procurement puts a security questionnaire in front of every vendor before anything moves forward. ISO 27001 is how we get you past that gate faster — because we've already done the work to meet the security and compliance requirements of the world's largest organizations.

We first achieved ISO 27001 certification in 2023. Read the original announcement →

What Changed Since Our Initial Certification

ISO 27001 isn't static. The International Organization for Standardization updated its standard from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022, introducing 11 new controls around cloud security, threat intelligence, data masking, and secure software development. The global deadline for organizations to transition to the 2022 standard was October 2025.

Our 2026 renewal means we're fully certified under the updated ISO 27001:2022 framework — not the legacy standard.

"Worksuite supports enterprise clients managing complex global contractor operations, where sensitive financial, operational, and compliance data has to be protected at every step. For us, security isn’t just about meeting certification requirements — it’s about earning and maintaining trust. Our ISO 27001 recertification reflects the work happening behind the scenes to keep our security practices strong, reliable, and aligned with what our enterprise clients require."

— Anna Waszak, IT & GRC Manager, Worksuite

That means our controls reflect the security realities of 2026: cloud infrastructure, distributed teams, and increasingly sophisticated threat vectors — not a checklist that was written when most of your contractors were still receiving paper checks.

Why It Matters for Your Contingent Workforce Program

If you're running a contingent workforce program — managing independent contractors, freelancers, or a blended workforce across multiple countries — the platforms you use are part of your security perimeter. They touch payroll data, classification records, signed contracts, and sometimes your most sensitive project IP. A breach isn't just a data incident. It's a legal liability, a compliance failure, and a contractor relationship problem, simultaneously.

Worksuite processes that data at scale. Over 350,000 contractors use the platform. Every transaction, contract, and classification decision is documented, encrypted, and auditable.

ISO 27001 certification means our Information Security Management System (ISMS) has been independently verified against three principles:

  • Confidentiality - Two-factor authentication, data encryption, and access controls ensure that only authorized users can reach your data. Your talent network stays yours.
  • Integrity - Data accuracy is maintained and audited. Your financial records, contractor classifications, and compliance documentation are complete and tamper-resistant.
  • Availability - Your workforce operations don't stop because of a security incident. Backup systems, disaster recovery, and redundancy planning are part of the standard.

The Full Compliance Stack

For HR technology and workforce management platforms, a single certification isn't enough. Enterprise procurement teams — especially in regulated industries or organizations managing global contractor compliance — typically require a full picture. ISO 27001 works alongside our other certifications, not in isolation. Worksuite is also certified or compliant with SOC 2 Type II (audited controls over security, availability, and confidentiality), GDPR (for teams managing contractors in the EU and UK), and CCPA (for California-based operations).

Together, these cover the questions your legal, procurement, and security teams will ask. We've built the compliance infrastructure you require — so you don't have to build workarounds to use us.

If You're Evaluating FMS Platforms

If your InfoSec or procurement team needs documentation, we can provide our certificate of compliance, audit scope, and answers to standard security questionnaires directly. Contact your account representative or reach out via our Security Center.

The point of certification isn't the badge. It's evidence — third-party verified, annually renewed — that security isn't an afterthought at Worksuite. It's how we're built. And if a legal inquiry arrives, your team isn't scrambling across six systems to prove it.

Worksuite is a contingent workforce management platform built for enterprise teams managing independent contractors, freelancers, and blended workforces at scale.

FAQ

Yes. Worksuite holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, renewed in 2026 and independently audited by A-LIGN. The certification covers Worksuite's Information Security Management System (ISMS) and validates controls for data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Worksuite is also SOC 2 Type II attested and compliant with GDPR and CCPA.

Worksuite maintains ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (audited by A-LIGN), SOC 2 Type II attestation, GDPR compliance for EU and UK operations, and CCPA compliance for California. Enterprise teams evaluating Worksuite can request the certificate of compliance, audit scope, and completed security questionnaire responses directly from their account representative via the Worksuite Security Center.

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It requires organizations to implement and maintain a documented set of controls protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability — and to have those controls independently audited by an accredited third party. Unlike a self-assessed security policy, ISO 27001 certification means an external auditor has verified that the controls are real, operational, and meet the standard. For enterprise software procurement, it's one of the most commonly required security credentials.

ISO 27001:2022 is the updated version of the standard, replacing ISO 27001:2013. The 2022 revision introduced 11 new security controls addressing modern threats, including cloud security, threat intelligence, data masking, web filtering, and secure software development practices. The global deadline for certified organizations to transition from the 2013 to the 2022 standard was October 2025. Organizations still operating under ISO 27001:2013 after that date are certified against a deprecated framework. Worksuite's 2026 renewal is fully compliant with ISO 27001:2022.
