Tyk

Tyk uses ISO as a foundation as their business rapidly grows: A Case Study

Standards: ISO 9001, ISO 27001
Industry: Technology – software development

Introduction

Tyk Technologies Ltd. helps developers connect systems to systems. A major challenger in the API Gateway space, providing open source API Gateways, API Management Dashboards and an API Development Portal to a worldwide user base. The business is taking on the likes of Google and operate out of London, Singapore and the US. Security of the software code and SaaS hosting environment is absolutely paramount.

Approach and Implementation

2SB guided Tyk to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification. The rapid growth of the business and its internationally dispersed workforce presented unique challenges during the implementation, however the establishment of an information security framework helped Tyk identify and systematically mitigate the risks the organisation faces.

Results

First implementing the ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 systems when the organisation had ten team members, the system has had to grow and evolve as the number has surpassed 100.

Tyk’s COO commented “2SB supported us through the implementation process, really taking the time to understand our business. Instead of putting documents in place that didn’t give our business any value, they worked with process owners across the organisation to develop meaningful and secure methods of working. ISO 27001 in particular can be confusing to implement without guidance. 2SB expedited the process for us, helping us to interpret the standard and how it applied to our business”.
