Trust Valley Day (October 17, Lausanne) was a brilliant opportunity to engage with this exciting innovation ecosystem in digital trust. I had an opportunity to chat with many participants including Patrick Barbey, Sébastien Z. and others.
There were exciting sessions on how startups and corporates can work together. Several times the question was posed – how does a startup or scaleup establish trust and credibility in a competitive marketplace? Of course, the answer has many dimensions- customer centricity, collaborative alliances and vitally certification of adherence to compliance frameworks e.g. ISO 270001, SOC2, HIPAA etc..
Compliance certification is not just a point in time achievement but signals to potential customers and partners that the company is committed to the execution of a pragmatic, transparent and rigorous risk management process with respect to privacy and cybersecurity. It flags to competitors and partners alike that the company’s practices around data, privacy and cybersecurity are robust and verifiable.
At the very least, compliance certification therefore helps establish a level playing field for startups and scaleups vis-à -vis well-established companies. I would say it goes much further – accelerated certification, especially against new regulation, can create opportunities and competitive advantage for startups and scaleups, especially when legacy players do not have the certification.
