ISO 27001 : Security by Default at Clever Cloud
What exactly is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the international benchmark standard for information security management. It defines the requirements for establishing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Achieving this certification means that an organization complies with strict standards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
The certification must be renewed every three years, but it is also subject to annual surveillance audits conducted by independent bodies. Combined with mandatory annual internal audits, this ensures that security practices remain compliant over time and are not just a one-off validation.
This standard is not limited to technical measures: it also covers governance, internal processes, risk management, and continuous improvement. In short, ISO 27001 is proof of a high level of maturity in cybersecurity.
At Clever Cloud, everything is ISO 27001 — by default
Many providers only apply certification to part of their services, or as a paid option limited to certain environments. At Clever Cloud, it’s different: our entire infrastructure and platform is certified ISO 27001:2022.
This means that everything we host, all our managed services, and all our technology components comply with the same security standards. There are no gray areas, no “premium security” product reserved for a few clients: compliance is built-in, systematic, and included for everyone.
This approach stems from our vision: a trustworthy cloud must be secure by design. By choosing Clever Cloud, you automatically benefit from the highest level of protection recognized worldwide—without extra effort or additional cost.

Q&A – ISO 27001 Certification at Clever Cloud
What does ISO 27001 provide compared to other labels?
It is a recognized international standard that certifies both technical and organizational aspects. It is regularly audited by independent third parties, ensuring real and verified compliance. Unlike other labels, ISO/IEC 27001 is a common language in the industry: it connects cybersecurity with the realities of the cloud and provides a proven framework that covers the entire supply chain through to production.
Does the certification cover only certain services?
No. At Clever Cloud, the entire platform is ISO 27001 certified, without exception. This is one of our major differentiators.
Do I have to pay extra to get a certified environment?
Absolutely not. ISO 27001 security is integrated by default, with no additional cost or special plan.
What concrete benefits does this bring to my company?
You gain trust with your clients, compliance with your regulatory obligations, and reduced risks from cyber threats. You benefit from a secure framework that’s ready to use, without having to manage the complexity of certification yourself.
How can I verify that Clever Cloud is certified?
We provide our certificates on our website. Here is our ISO 27001 certificate.
How does Clever Cloud test the security of its systems?
Beyond global audits conducted by external bodies—rare but comprehensive—we carry out frequent penetration tests with specialized providers. These regular campaigns continuously detect potential vulnerabilities and strengthen the robustness of our platform.
