Insurte, the global travel insurance company known for its compliant Schengen Travel Insurance, has announced it has achieved ISO 27001 certification – the leading international standard for information security management.
Besides being a technical milestone, this success highlights Insurte’s deeper brand ethos: combining innovation, inclusivity, human-centered service, and collaboration. All of these combined to reimagine a new way of travel protection in today’s quickly changing world.
Usually, ISO 27001 certification is seen as a purely technical benchmark. It’s proof that an organization has top-of-the-line safeguards in place for sensitive data. That alone is impressive enough. For Insurte, however, achieving ISO 27001 certification is also a reflection of its guiding principles.
“This certification shows who we are as a company,” said a spokesperson for Insurte. “It confirms we value our customers’ trust and security, and it also reinforces our commitment to transparency. We want it to be clear that we prioritize the safety of our customers and partners.”
The process itself is lengthy. Getting certification requires external audits and rigorous assessments of security protocols, both from a technical standpoint and a day-to-day process.
In the travel sector specifically, customers throughout the entire industry have to provide personal information in order to obtain travel and take out a travel insurance policy, so keeping security a priority is instrumental to a company’s success. Insurte gets this.
Among others, one of Insurte’s founding goals was to simplify the Schengen visa insurance experience. It’s no secret that the process can often be seen as complicated and bureaucratic.
However, Insurte simplifies the entire thing without compromising on quality and coverage. Attaining ISO 27001 underpins Insurte’s approach, allowing the company to provide quick and easy travel insurance solutions with the utmost security. Insurte is demonstrating that there’s no reason you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
With the customer in the forefront of everything that they do, Insurte positions itself as more than a policy provider. It is the partner travelers need when navigating oftentimes stressful visa applications.
“Behind every policy is a person, often preparing for a meaningful trip. Whether it’s a family reunion, dream vacation, or even a business trip,” The spokesperson continued. “Our security framework exists to honor that trust and protect those significant moments.”
Insurte has unlocked a new era, where human focus extends to stronger data protection: safeguarding customers’ most sensitive information during one of the most important parts of travel planning.
To Insurte, it isn’t just about protecting its customers, though. It’s also about protecting its partners and stakeholders, such as global insurers and even its in-house team. Security isn’t a one-angle production; to Insurte, it’s a way of being.
After all, inclusivity (in all facets of the word) is another cornerstone that reinforces Insurte’s identity. Whether it’s policy range and pricing or transparency and security, the company designs its touchpoints to serve a spectrum of travelers and partners.
ISO 27001 certification is another way that Insurte is proving that world-class data protection can be delivered at scale, while remaining inclusive, affordable, and simple.
The world is digitizing; just take a look at the European Union’s new portal for Schengen visa applications. It is called the EU Visa Application Platform (EU VAP). Once launched, the EU VAP will revolutionize the Schengen visa application process, which is manual-intensive and paper-based at the moment. Visa applicants will be able to go online to a secure portal and apply for their Schengen visas almost entirely virtually.
This is just one example, but it’s a clear signal that digital visa systems are becoming more and more prevalent around the globe.
Insurte sees ISO 27001 as one achievement of many more to come; it isn’t the finish line in tech security for them.
“This certification is part of a larger vision. We want every traveler to feel confident that their coverage is not only compliant but also tailored to their needs… all without jeopardizing their security.”
