Introduction

Trust in technology is built on resilience, responsibility, and consistency. As organizations rely more on intelligent systems and uninterrupted operations, compliance becomes a business necessity, not just a requirement. Sertalink understood this early. With rapid growth plans and a strong focus on operational stability, the company chose to pursue ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 certification. However, Sertalink did not want compliance to slow innovation. To move quickly while staying audit-ready, Sertalink partnered with Axipro as its compliance expert. The result is undeniable- Sertalink earned two international certifications in just four months, supported by a structured, well-guided compliance journey.

About Sertalink

Sertalink is an IT security company and a ManageEngine partner focused on delivering reliable, scalable, and future-ready digital solutions. The company is built on stability, innovation, and operational excellence. As a result, clients depend on Sertalink’s systems to perform consistently in demanding environments. As the organization expanded, two priorities became strategic: Responsible use of advanced and intelligent technologies, strong business continuity and operational resilience Therefore, achieving ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 certification was a natural step. These standards helped Sertalink formalize governance, strengthen resilience, and demonstrate accountability to customers and partners.

Challenge: Responsible AI use and operational resilience

As organizations increasingly rely on AI-driven systems and uninterrupted operations, certifications like ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 have become strategic priorities. Companies pursue ISO 42001 to demonstrate responsible AI governance, regulatory readiness, and customer trust, while ISO 22301 is critical for proving operational resilience and business continuity to enterprise clients and stakeholders.

ISO 42001 introduces new requirements around AI risk management, governance, and accountability that many organizations have never formally defined. ISO 22301 demands a clear understanding of business impact analysis, recovery objectives, and continuity testing.

At the same time, organizations face pressure to move fast. Choosing the wrong scope or implementing controls without proper validation can lead to audit delays, rework, and lost momentum.

Sertalink needed a partner that could quickly clarify the right scope, translate complex requirements into practical controls, and ensure full audit readiness without slowing the business. Axipro’s expert team provided a structured, end-to-end approach that maintained steady momentum, accuracy, and confidence throughout the certification journey.

Solution: Audit and certification

Axipro led Sertalink through a streamlined process, achieving ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 certification within a defined, fast-track timeline.

Using a structured, end-to-end approach, Axipro implemented all required controls, policies, and continuity requirements and prepared Sertalink for external audit without rework or delays. A rigorous pre-audit readiness review ensured full alignment with certification requirements before the final assessment.

Sertalink’s certification journey reinforced both its technical maturity and market positioning. With structured guidance from Axipro, the company successfully embedded ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 into its operations, ensuring audit readiness and long-term resilience.

Jimmy Beekaree, Chief Information Security Officer at Sertalink, highlighted the technical value:

ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 provided the framework to formalize our commitment to responsible AI and operational resilience. It’s a technical benchmark that proves our systems are built for trust and stability.

Koen Franckaert, Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized the business impact:

We position ourselves as our customers’ link to cyber resilience, and ISO 42001 and ISO 22301 prove it. These certifications give our clients the confidence to trust us with their most critical systems.

With tailored advisory and structured implementation, Axipro ensured Sertalink achieved certification with confidence, clarity and trust.
