A Know Your Customer technology company, VerifyMe Nigeria, has been awarded two ISO certifications by the International Organisation for Standardisation. The certifications are QMS ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System) and ISMS ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (Information Security Management Systems).
ISO 9001: 2015 entails an organisation’s structure together with the planning, processes, resources, and documented information that is used to achieve quality objectives. The certification demonstrates a company’s commitment to quality, customer focus, risk-based thinking, and continuous improvement.
ISO 27001:2013 ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system within the context of the organisation. It assures the security of information in all forms – whether digital, paper-based, or in the cloud. Other benefits include enhancing the organisation’s resilience to attack, responsiveness to evolving security threats, and fostering a holistic company culture geared towards understanding risks and embracing security controls.
Speaking on the certifications on Sunday, January 1, 2023, the Co-founder/Chief Executive Officer, VerifyMe, Esigie Aguele, said, “For us, it was important to go beyond compliance to getting our ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications as part of our continued commitment towards operational and customer service quality.
“We will continue to acquire industry certifications to retain our customers’ confidence in our products and our ability to deliver into the future.”
Also, in a statement to the company, the Certification Manager, Tapton Certification Services, Oluwatobi Adeoye, and Partners to QFS Management System representing the International Organisation for Standardisation, stated, “We commend the VerifyMe Nigeria team for its unrelenting efforts to comply with the ISO 9001 and 27001 standards.

We encourage the company to keep up with their best practices and to continue to seek opportunities for improvement.”
