idgard: Data protection at the highest level
As an idgard user, you fulfill all data protection requirements for contract data processing in the cloud and comply with all monitoring obligations.
Reliable Standards
Independent and reliable standards are necessary in order to obtain a statement about the quality and characteristics of a cloud service and all downstream processes such as security, infrastructure, availability and more. A certificate, such as ISO 27001 or 9001, makes it much easier for companies to fulfill their control obligations in the context of commissioned data processing. What’s more, it proves that the necessary security is in place.
Basis of ISO certifications:
idgard is certified according to the internationally recognized standards ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001, meeting the highest requirements for information security and quality management.
ISO/IEC 27001 represents a comprehensive management system for protecting sensitive information. It ensures that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data are maintained at all times. Through clearly defined security processes, regular risk assessments, and continuous improvement, idgard provides a consistently high level of security—particularly when handling sensitive and personal data.
Complementing this, ISO 9001 guarantees an effective quality management system. It ensures that processes are efficient, transparent, and customer‑focused, and that they are continuously optimized. Customers benefit from stable operations, high service quality, and reliable performance.
With its ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, idgard demonstrates its commitment to delivering the highest standards of security, quality, and reliability.
Significance in the context of the EU General Data Protection Regulation:
idgard is GDPR compliant and implements comprehensive technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal and sensitive data. End‑to‑end encryption, finely granular access and permission management, and clearly defined security mechanisms ensure that only authorized individuals are able to access confidential information.
In addition, idgard actively supports companies and organizations in meeting GDPR data protection requirements by providing a secure, transparent, and controlled environment for the exchange and storage of sensitive data. In this way, idgard establishes a reliable foundation for data‑protection‑compliant collaboration—even in environments with particularly high compliance requirements.
Trust Seal
In addition to certificates, there are also so-called trust seals. These are seals of approval that confirm that a website or application is trustworthy and meets certain quality or security standards. The trust seals, which are usually awarded by an independent party, can cover various aspects – whether data security, data protection, quality assurance or compliance with certain industry standards. However, the seals are often only based on a self-declaration – a more detailed examination by the independent company often does not take place. In this respect, they differ from the certificates.

It is important because it minimizes risks, strengthens trust with customers and partners and supports compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
