Why ISO 27001 and TISAX® Matter for Shared Mobility Operations

For shared mobility operators, the beating heart of their operations is the software platform. This digital nexus powers their service and holds the key to a wealth of essential information including customer data. Information and data security is essential throughout the whole customer journey, from registration to trip termination and payments. The mishandling of this sensitive information could lead to serious consequences, ranging from vehicle theft to misuse and looming financial losses. When looking for a third-party software system, operators must prioritize working with a partner that can ensure the highest levels of information security and data protection. But, how to find such a partner?  Fortunately, security certifications signal operators that they are working with a software provider deeply committed to information security and data protection. No matter what type of mobility fleet you operate, here is what you need to look for:
