Ribose is the first organization in Asia and outside of the UK to achieve accredited certification to ISO 14001:2015, the newly revised international standard for Environmental Management Systems, and is also the first technology company worldwide to receive this certification. Ribose’s certification was issued the day our certifying body received the world’s first accreditation for this standard by ANAB.

ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems, with its latest revision published on 15 September 2015, helps organizations comply with environmental regulations, minimizing their environmental footprint and improving their environmental performance.

By implementing environmental best practices, we are able to reduce our environmental footprint and enable our customers to achieve and integrate sustainability objectives into their respective supply chains. The certification verifies our ability to measure our environmental footprint and strive towards continuous improvement.

Ribose’s independent assessment and certification was performed by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the ISO 14001 standard, and the first accredited certification body for ISO 14001:2015, accredited by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB). Prior to the latest certification, Ribose was certified to the preceding standard ISO 14001:2004 by BSI.

As the world’s first and only casual collaboration platform to achieve certification to the ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 international standard for information technology service management (ITSM), Ribose is committed to bringing world-class, enterprise-grade availability, service process quality to all of our users.

ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the international standard for service management systems. Based on the IT infrastructure library (ITIL®) best practice framework, ISO/IEC 20000-1 helps companies achieve evidence-based benchmarks to continuously improve service delivery. Previously, services that meet such stringent standards were only limited to a handful of services serving high-paying corporate customers.

Ribose’s certification is awarded by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the ISO/IEC 20000-1 standard, accredited by ANAB (ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board), and recognized by the official ISO/IEC 20000 IT Service Management Certification Scheme created by itSMF (the IT Service Management Forum) and operated by the APM Group.

Ribose’s certification stand as indisputable proof that world-class security, availability and service management are no longer limited to enterprise cloud users. We bring these benefits to everyone, completely free of charge.

At Ribose, we recognize that users depend on our continued availability, and are dedicated to serving our users under any situation, with no excuses.

Ribose is certified to the international standard for business continuity, ISO 22301:2012. Ribose’s certification is accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) and awarded by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the ISO 22301 standard itself.

ISO 22301 stipulates wide-ranging and stringent requirements for business continuity management systems (BCMS) that ensure an organization’s business activities are resilient against disruptions and exceptional events. Ribose’s scope of certification was as comprehensive as possible, covering all processes, services and locations.

As the world’s first and only collaboration platform to be awarded certification, you can be confident that Ribose can help you collaborate anywhere, anytime: even under extraordinary circumstances.

Ribose is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the standard itself, with the certification accredited by the ANAB (ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board). As the world’s first casual collaboration platform to have achieved certification, Ribose is also one of the first organizations worldwide certified to the latest ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard specifying sweeping requirements for information security management systems (ISMS). Certification is awarded only after a neutral and independent accredited auditor has conducted a comprehensive audit to assess and verify the compliance of all applications, systems, processes and services used by the organization. This certification verifies that ISO/IEC 27001 is indeed an integral part of all processes within Ribose.

We are proud that our scope of certification is as comprehensive as possible: from design, development and operations to support processes. Ribose gives you the confidence that your privacy and data will always be protected and handled securely.

The open nature of the cloud presents greater risks to data stored in the cloud. Cloud-specific specialized measures as well as a cloud-centric security mindset must be adopted to augment the traditional information security doctrine.

Ribose is the world’s first SaaS platform compliant to the international cloud security standard, ISO/IEC 27017, certified by BSI (British Standards Institution).

Ribose is the world’s first SaaS platform compliant to the international cloud security standard, ISO/IEC 27017, certified by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of international information security standards.

The open nature of the cloud environment – providing broad network access, rapid elasticity, self-provisioning functionality and resource pooling – presents greater threats and risks to information stored in the cloud that exceeds the scope of traditional information security doctrine, requiring cloud-specific specialized measures as well as a cloud-centric security mindset.

Addressing the specific needs of cloud security, ISO/IEC 27017 builds upon ISO/IEC 27001 – providing additional controls and implementation guidance on architecture, technology and processes to ensure information security is well protected in the cloud. Taking into account that many cloud service providers are often customers of other cloud services, ISO/IEC 27017 also specifies implementation guidelines for both cloud service customers and cloud service providers, emphasizing each entity’s role in cloud security and protecting end users’ information.

Our certification demonstrates Ribose’s unwavering commitment to cloud security, and we are proud to be the world’s first cloud service provider to simultaneously cover all major cloud security certifications: CSA STAR Certification, STAR Attestation and C-STAR Assessment together with ISO/IEC 27017.

In today’s world, privacy is more important than ever for collaborative work, which often include confidential data. Ribose believes that privacy is a right, not a luxury — we are proud to be the world’s first CSP that provides ISO/IEC 27018-level privacy protection to all users regardless whether they are paid or not.

Ribose is certified to ISO/IEC 27018, the international standard that governs the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds for PII processors, by BSI (British Standards Institution), the originator of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of international information security standards.

ISO/IEC 27018 describes commonly accepted control objectives, controls and guidelines based on the eleven privacy principles contained in ISO/IEC 29100, to ensure that PII data is adequately protected when processed by a cloud PII processor.

This certification means that data managed by Ribose will never be sold to a third-party for advertising, nor subcontracted to parties that may breach the integrity of users’ data. This also means that users retain full control of their data stored on Ribose, and that we are transparent about where users’ data resides and how it is processed.
