This achievement goes beyond a badge—it marks a concrete step up, where security evolves from promise into a living, auditable system aligned with real-world risks.
ISO 27001: more than security—institutionalized trust
In regulated markets such as iGaming, financial services, and identity technology, security isn’t merely an argument—it’s a requirement for participation. And when it comes to information security, few Brazilian companies can demonstrate adherence to the highest international standards.
Currently, fewer than 300 organizations in Brazil hold ISO Survey,27001 certification (ISO Survey reported 165 as of December 2021). In a landscape of millions of active CNPJs, Legitimuz is part of an extremely exclusive group that doesn’t just talk about security—it lives it through continuous, auditable processes.
For clients relying on Legitimuz’s facial recognition, OCR, and document validation solutions, the certification is more than symbolic. It is objective proof that the company applies globally recognized controls, independently audited, across all critical data lifecycle stages.
The practical effect? Less friction in due diligence, more agility in integrations, and early trust even before the first line of code. In a market where time is crucial and trust cannot wait, this is a real and rare differentiator.
Risk management that doesn't depend on luck
The digital world doesn't forgive improvisation. The 2022 version of ISO 27001 incorporated updated controls, focusing on modern threats such as supply chain attacks and third-party dependency breaches. This requires a living management model that continuously detects, addresses, and learns from risks.
"In practice, this means that we not only know where we are exposed, but we also have formal, traceable plans to mitigate, respond, and evolve. This strategic clarity is what differentiates resilient companies from organizations that merely react to crises," emphasizes Legitimuz.
Less reactivity, more antifragility
Information security, when well implemented, isn't expensive—what costs dearly is its absence. Data breaches today represent average losses exceeding US$4 million per incident, including fines, reputational damage, and response costs.
By adopting a mature Information Security Management System (ISMS), Legitimuz drastically reduces the chance of these events occurring, and when they do, it has plans in place that work. "Thanks to this, we save resources and strengthen our ability to continue operating under pressure, quickly and consistently," he explains.
Security as a culture — not a department
ISO 27001 requires that security not be restricted to the technology or compliance department. It requires the entire organization to think and act based on real risks, with indicators, internal audit cycles, action plans, and management review. This is the kind of mindset that strengthens not only controls, but the business itself.
"With each review cycle, the standard pushes us forward—establishing a culture of continuous improvement that spans departments, teams, and decisions, which translates into learning, adaptability, and sustainable growth."
A daily commitment to trust
With ISO 27001 as the core framework of our ISMS, Legitimuz accelerates its ability to meet not only standards (such as LGPD, GDPR, PCI DSS), but above all the legitimate expectations of those who trust our services: security, reliability, and preparedness for the unexpected.
"This certification is not a trophy for the shelf. It is an instrument of lasting trust, which directly impacts the way we operate and deliver value. And for every client who depends on Legitimuz, this achievement represents a conscious choice: to stand alongside those who are ready for the most critical challenges of the digital age," the company emphasizes.
“At Legitimuz, security isn’t a shield—it’s the invisible structure supporting everything we deliver.”
