Tinder, the pioneering platform fostering new connections worldwide, has marked a historic milestone by attaining ISO 27001 certification, raising the bar as the premier dating app adhering to globally recognized information security standards.
In an arduous external audit, Tinder's Information Security Management System (ISMS) was meticulously evaluated, distinguishing it as the first app within its domain to earn the prestigious ISO 27001 certification.
This certification, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), signifies Tinder's unwavering dedication to fortifying comprehensive security measures safeguarding user data, intellectual property, and entrusted third-party information.
To meet the ISO 27001:2013 standard, Tinder undertook an exhaustive process, implementing 114 multifaceted physical, operational, technical, and security controls. This endeavour, spanning months and validated by multiple security experts, fortified Tinder's infrastructure and privacy protocols, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information.
"Achieving this certification is a significant accomplishment for Tinder that demonstrates our consistent commitment to protecting the information assets of our members, employees, and our business to the highest standards of information security and privacy on a global scale,” emphasised Abe Chen, Tinder’s Vice President of Security Engineering.
This milestone, validated by Coalfire ISO—an accredited management systems certification body—via stringent audits, underscores Tinder's unwavering dedication to fortifying data protection. David Forman, Coalfire's Vice President of Privacy and International Assurance, applauded this achievement, signalling the expanding need to bolster information security across consumer services impacting millions globally.
"This certification accomplishment is a sector-first, exemplifying the growing need to expand information security best practices from traditional business-to-business services into consumer segments that impact millions of people around the world,” noted Forman.
He lauded Tinder's proactive approach, especially in an era where the popularity of dating apps has surged, highlighting the company's resolute efforts to fortify member data security amidst heightened scrutiny.
Tinder's attainment of ISO 27001 certification resonates as a defining moment, underscoring the app's commitment to transparency and robust data protection, setting an unparalleled standard in the realm of consumer-focused information security.
