Photon: ISO 27001:2022 Certified
Photon recently completed its ISO 27001:2022 audit under TÜV Rheinland. The auditors found no main or minor deviations, an uncommon result confirming our security framework’s robustness and consistency. This ISO 27001:2022 certification confirms that our multiplayer infrastructure and processes meet strict international standards for information security—an essential milestone for any platform managing real-time data at scale.
ISO 27001 Certification for Multiplayer and Real-Time Platforms
Our servers and services power large-scale gaming applications worldwide and high-throughput enterprise solutions for Fortune 500 companies. Every month, billions of user interactions rely on Photon for continuous connectivity and low-latency performance. Achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification with zero deviations is a key indicator that our approach to risk assessment, data protection, and operational security is thorough and effective.
The Significance of ISO 27001:2022
ISO 27001:2022 sets a globally recognized framework for establishing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It requires a methodical approach to implementing controls, ensuring ongoing monitoring, and minimizing risk. Adhering to these principles is especially relevant in real-time environments, where secure data handling and consistent uptime are not optional.
By meeting ISO 27001:2022 requirements, Photon provides an additional layer of trust. Our customers and partners can validate that our security governance spans every area of operations, from access controls and patch management to personnel training and incident response.
Protecting on a Global Scale
Photon infrastructure handles a wide range of data scenarios, from streaming voice to enterprise messaging. We prioritize:
- Infrastructure Hardening: Our data centers and networking stack undergo regular assessments and are reinforced against known vulnerabilities.
- Access Controls: Strict privilege management ensures that internal teams and external services only have the level of access required for their tasks.
- Monitoring and Incident Response: We continuously monitor key metrics and logs, enabling quick detection and handling of potential threats.
GDPR, COPPA, and Beyond
In addition to ISO 27001:2022 compliance, Photon remains aligned with major data protection regulations such as GDPR, COPPA, and more. We also keep pace with emerging privacy frameworks to help our customers maintain compliance across different regions and verticals. We continuously review our data protection compliance with new regional requirements and make adjustments where necessary.
Next Steps
Security is an ongoing process, not just a certificate. Photon will continue to refine its risk management practices and technical safeguards to keep pace with evolving threats. Global reach, fast response times, and a strong security foundation—that’s what real-time systems need, from high-stakes multiplayer games to enterprise-grade platforms.
