Getaround Successfully Secures ISO 27001 Certification, Reinforces Leadership in Carsharing Connected Car Space

Certification recognizes Company’s commitment to information security and unlocks opportunities to expand strategic partnerships

Getaround (OTC: GETR), the world's leading connected carsharing platform, is proud to announce it has achieved ISO 27001 certification. This certification underscores Getaround's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security and data protection for our users and partners.

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Achieving this certification validates Getaround’s robust framework of policies, procedures, and controls to manage and protect sensitive information effectively.

“Securing ISO 27001 certification was not just a goal, but a strategic imperative for Getaround,” said AJ Lee, COO of Getaround. “This achievement unlocks significant opportunities for partnerships with industry leaders who demand the highest standards of data security. By meeting these stringent requirements, we’ve solidified our position as a trusted collaborator, and we’re excited about the new partnerships and innovations this certification will enable.”

The certification process involved a comprehensive audit conducted by an independent certification body. This audit assessed Getaround's ISMS against stringent criteria, including risk management, security controls, and continuous improvement processes. Getaround's ISO 27001 certification is part of its broader commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction. As the company continues to innovate and expand its services, maintaining robust information security practices will remain a top priority.
