Framework reference
ISO 27001 for EU B2B software companies.
ISO 27001 is voluntary, but EU B2B buyers often treat it as mandatory in practice. It helps software companies prove they run a structured information security management system, manage risks, operate controls, and keep evidence ready for customer and auditor review.
