UNIwise achieves internationally renowned IT security certification

UNIwise is happy to announce that we have achieved the D-seal certification for IT security and data ethics. The D-seal is an internationally renowned Danish labelling program which promotes the responsible use of data. Through achieving D-seal certification, UNIwise can now more comprehensibly secure digital trust, as its strict criteria recognise robust and responsible approaches to data protection, ensuring accountability to our partners and users alike. 

The right to privacy is an integral part of our increasingly digital society. This is why UNIwise strives not only to be legally compliant when it comes to data protection, but also to ensure that our IT security reflects our ethical values as a company. We process large amounts of data on behalf of our partner institutions, so information security has to be at the heart of what we do. This D-seal certification reflects UNIwise’s continued commitment to ensuring security, integrity and trust in our handling of data. 

Executive Director and co-founder Rasmus Blok is pleased with the certification, commenting: ‘The right to privacy is a fundamental human right, but also one which might be challenged by technology itself, and as such must be protected and respected. Through the D-seal - our newest IT security certification, and together with our existing ISAE3402 external IT security audit - we at UNIwise make it clear to our customers, employees and stakeholders that we are dedicated to protecting their data to the highest ethical standards.’
