Starting in 2025, innovation will accelerate with the opening of the AWS region in Mexico, breaking historical paradigms in technology and digital transformation, since, in a country known for its strict regulations in the financial sector – where banks, insurers and fintechs must guarantee the residency of productive data – this new region eliminates barriers that previously limited digital transformation.

Now, however, the transformation will have no limits.

With the aim of further strengthening and improving the Latin American market in technological issues, the international companies Itera and Sensedia have formalized a strategic alliance that will allow them to offer solutions, both comprehensive and advanced, to meet the growing demands of the digital environment in the region.

How will this alliance benefit Colombia?

Under the vision of driving digital transformation in Latin America (giving organizations the ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving technological environment), Sensedia’s experience and know-how in managing modern API-based integration solutions are perfectly complemented by Itera’s expertise in cloud migration, modernization and optimization of infrastructures, creating a complete set of solutions for companies in all sectors.

This strategic collaboration will focus on offering innovative API integration and management solutions, providing Colombian companies with advanced tools to accelerate their digital transformation. Itera will bring its expertise in cloud services and consulting, while Sensedia will bring its modern integration platform, backed by years of industry experience.

This alliance aims to improve operational efficiency, facilitate the creation of differentiated digital experiences, and accelerate the delivery of services and products to market.

“We are very pleased with this strategic alliance, which gives us the opportunity to offer our customers an even wider range of integrated services and solutions, tailored to the dynamic Colombian market. The combination of our capabilities will allow us to more effectively address present and future technological challenges in the country, thus driving a truly significant transformation.”, commented Rebeca Basurto, Country Manager of Itera Colombia.

“This collaboration will allow us to deliver innovative solutions to our customers so that they can generate new offers, experiences and innovation for their entire ecosystem. A strategic alliance to make businesses and companies more adaptable, agile and connected,” said Alexandre Gomes, executive director of Sensedia in Latam.

Both companies are convinced that this alliance will strengthen the technological infrastructure in Colombia, generating a positive impact on the economy and contributing to sustainable growth in the digital age

“Our clients can rest easy with us, because they are backed by the experience and knowledge we have about the financial sector. Not only at the infrastructure level, but we also help them understand their business projects and how we can transfer those ideas to the cloud to boost their profitability,” says Ana Osuna, Project Manager at Itera.

How did the ISO/IEC 27001 Standard come about?

After this standard appeared in 1990 as a safety standard, the International Standards Organization published it as ISO 17799 in the early 2000s. And, five years later, it changed its name to ISO 27001.

This is how this regulation has gone through three revisions to reach the current one, which was published in February 2022 and whose transition period for companies is expected to end in October 2025.

Each organization that has this standard or wants to implement it, should be aware of the changes that the new version implied:

1. a) Renaming the standard from “Code of Practice for Information Security Controls” to “Code of Practice for Information Security, Cybersecurity and Privacy Controls”.
2. b) New nomenclature and structure by changing from 14 domains to only 4 major domains (organizational, physical, technological and people).
3. c) Reduction from 114 to 93 controls (11 new):

1. Threat intelligence
2. Information security for the use of cloud services
3. ICT Readiness for Business Continuity
4. Physical Security Monitoring
5. Configuration management
6. Deleting Information
7. Data masking
8. Data Leak Prevention
9. Activity monitoring
10. Web Filtering
11. Secure Coding

1. d) The changes in the clauses are as follows:

• Clause 4. When identifying the internal context and environment of the organization, cyberspace should be considered. When identifying stakeholders, include groups that will be contributing to the control of privacy and cybersecurity.
• Clause 5. Include cybersecurity and privacy protection in the Information Security Policy.
• Clause 6. In risk management, consider personal and cyberspace assets. In addition to planning the changes that will be implemented.
• Clause 7. Consider resources to cover privacy and cybersecurity.
• Clause 8. No modification.
• Clause 9. Monitor new controls.
• Clause 10. Upgrading must consider technological changes in cyberspace.

The main reason for updating is to adapt to the new work reality of many companies around the world. And in this dynamic, remote work and the control of new cyberattacks occupy an important place.

Take into account the 4 actions for the 2022 version of the ISO/IEC 27001 Standard

In view of the changes, the main actions expected from companies are the following:

1. Update the risk treatment process considering the new controls.
2. Update the statement of applicability.
3. Modify existing policies and procedures.
4. Include safety metrics and indicators.
