ISO 27001: What Our Certification Means for You

Caxton has achieved ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for information security management. It's a milestone worth explaining properly, not just announcing.

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 isn't a marketing badge. It's a rigorous, independently audited standard that governs how an organisation identifies risk, protects data, controls access to systems, and responds when something goes wrong. Getting certified means an external auditor examined our processes in detail and confirmed they meet that global benchmark. Keeping it means we're reassessed on an ongoing basis, not just once.

For a payments business, this matters more than most. Every day, we move money and handle sensitive financial data on behalf of our clients. That responsibility doesn't stop at building good systems. It means proving, continuously, that those systems hold up.

What the certification process involved

Achieving ISO 27001 took sustained work across the business, not a single department ticking a compliance box. It meant:

• Mapping and assessing risk across every system that touches client data or payment flows
• Formalising access controls so the right people have the right level of access, and nothing more
• Building and testing incident response processes, so if something does go wrong, there's a clear, practiced plan rather than a scramble
• Reviewing supplier and third-party security, since a business is only as secure as the partners it relies on
• Embedding these practices into how teams work day to day, not just how they're documented

None of this happened in isolation. It required input and accountability from teams across the business, and it's now a standard we maintain permanently, not a project with an end date.

For existing clients

You don't need to take our word for how we handle security. ISO 27001 gives you independent, third-party verification of it. If your own organisation runs vendor risk reviews or requires compliance documentation, that evidence is now formalised and available. It should make your due diligence easier, not harder.

If you're evaluating us

For larger or regulated businesses, security certification is often a prerequisite before a vendor conversation even starts. ISO 27001 means Caxton meets that bar. It's one less thing to verify, and one more reason to trust us with your payments and FX from day one.

This isn't the finish line

Certification is a point-in-time confirmation of an ongoing commitment. Security threats evolve, and so do our processes. ISO 27001 requires us to keep proving that our approach to protecting client data holds up, not just today, but on an ongoing basis.

We're proud of the work that went into this, and more importantly, we're committed to maintaining the standard behind it. If you have questions about our security practices or need documentation for your own compliance requirements, our team is here to help.
