Andy achieves ISO 27001 certification: what it means for our clients
As food service operations become increasingly digital, data security is becoming just as important as operational efficiency.
Temperature logs, internal audits, operational checklists, food safety records and incident reports are now managed through digital platforms used daily by teams across kitchens, restaurants and central operations.
This shift brings significant benefits in terms of consistency, traceability and operational visibility. But it also means that the information generated by these systems must be protected to the highest standards.
In this context, Andy has obtained the ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for information security management.
But what does this certification actually mean for the companies that use Andy?
What is ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the global standard for managing information security.
It defines how organisations must identify risks, protect data, control access to information and ensure that systems are managed in a structured and secure way.
Achieving this certification requires the implementation of a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS) that covers:
-
risk assessment and management
-
data protection policies
-
access control and user permissions
-
secure infrastructure and processes
-
internal procedures and staff responsibilities
-
regular audits and continuous improvement
In other words, ISO 27001 ensures that information security is not handled ad-hoc, but through a systematic and audited framework.
What does ISO 27001 mean for Andy’s clients?
For hospitality operators using Andy, the certification provides additional assurance in several key areas.
1. Protection of operational data
Restaurants, dark kitchens, catering companies and hospitality groups generate large amounts of operational data every day.
This includes food safety records, internal audits, corrective actions, temperature monitoring and operational procedures.
ISO 27001 ensures that this information is managed under internationally recognised data protection standards, reducing the risk of unauthorised access, data loss or security breaches.
2. Greater confidence for enterprise clients
Many hospitality groups operate under strict compliance frameworks and internal audit processes.
Working with a technology provider certified under ISO 27001 simplifies supplier evaluation and strengthens confidence that operational data is handled responsibly and securely.
For companies managing multiple sites or operating in regulated environments, this level of assurance is increasingly essential.
3. Secure digitalisation of hospitality operations
Digital transformation in hospitality is not only about replacing paper with software.
It also requires ensuring that critical business information — from HACCP records to operational checklists — is stored and managed securely.
With ISO 27001 certification, Andy reinforces its commitment to providing a platform that supports operational excellence while maintaining strong information security practices.
Strengthening trust in hospitality technology
As the hospitality sector continues to digitalise operations, the protection of operational data becomes a critical part of building trust between technology providers and operators.
By obtaining ISO 27001 certification, Andy takes another step in ensuring that its platform meets the highest standards of information security, helping hospitality businesses operate with confidence in an increasingly digital environment.
