IISRI® Independant Information Security Rating Institute
IISRI® is a well-recognized partner in providing implementation, assurance and attestation services according to international standards since 2016. All attestations from IISRI® also come with an internal IISRI® rating that can be published.
Why
The Independent Information Security and Privacy Rating Institute IISRI® was founded in 2016 to provide a more accurate security and privacy assurance method to the public. Security and Privacy certifications, like ISO27001, PCI DSS or SOC2, are issued after passing a minimum threshold. This binary approach does not leave much room to understand how well organisations protect customer data. Security and Privacy ratings, however, allow customers to see to what extent an organisation has put controls.

IISRI® audits, rates and certifies the security and privacy of service providers. IISRI® is the world’s leading provider of public information security ratings on profit and non-profit organisations, including governments, and their services. Our global team comprises regional and sector experts from the industry and researchers from the university.Although IISRI® might cooperate with the assessed organisations during the assessments, IISRI® is completely independent in forming a final opinion.

Consulting
IISRI® advises on compliance and implementation of different security standards and frameworks. All IISRI® consultants and contractors have sufficient qualifications and at least five years of verified experience with international organizations such as ISACA, ISC2, or PECB. Some of us hold European Union security clearances and are official PECB accreditation body auditors with computer science and law degrees. Besides that, we work with our partners to provide different types of formal certifications like ISO27001 (security), ISO27701 (privacy), ISO27018 (privacy for cloud providers), and PCI (credit card payments).
Ratings
Ratings are a great tool for organizations that want to know how secure they are or who have to assess their suppliers to do due diligence during acquisition/merging. Many organizations found certifications like ISO27001, PCI DSS, and SOC2 insufficient and that these provide only binary information if the controls are effective. IISRI® strongly believes that this transparency about information security and privacy of organisations through public visibility of security and privacy ratings will encourage organisations and governments to constantly improve their security and privacy posture and safeguard valuable data.
Assurance Statements
IISRI® issues a Security Assurance Statement that attests to an organizations' Security Posture. This is usually against ISO27001 but can also be done against another security standard. This statement depicts, besides the overall security rating, the results of an organizations' internal assessment of the security domains. Many customers have used the IISRI® Assurance Statement as a stepping stone in their first years on their journey to a more invasive international certification, such as ISO27001, ISO27701, and SOC2 type 2. The IISRI® Assurance Statement is considered to be complementary to those international certifications.
