Dubai, UAE - November 1, 2025

Circularo, a leading provider of secure eSigning and digital document management solutions, today announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 27017 certification, the international standard for information security controls specifically for cloud service providers.

This milestone reinforces Circularo’s commitment to maintaining the highest levels of security, privacy, and compliance for its customers worldwide. The certification applies to all Circularo cloud deployments hosted in Microsoft Azure data centres in Europe and the United Arab Emirates, as well as in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Strengthening Cloud Trust and Security

ISO/IEC 27017 is an extension of the globally recognized ISO 27001 framework and focuses on security best practices for cloud environments – covering both cloud service providers and their customers. By achieving this certification, Circularo demonstrates that its cloud-based eSigning platform meets the most rigorous international standards for protecting customer data, managing cloud operations, and mitigating emerging cybersecurity risks.

“Achieving ISO 27017 certification is a significant step in reinforcing the trust our customers place in Circularo,” said Andrei Mochola, COO of Circularo. “As governments and enterprises increasingly rely on cloud-hosted solutions, they can be assured that Circularo delivers secure, compliant, and privacy-respecting digital signing services across all our regional data centres.”

Benefits for Circularo Customers

For Circularo clients across public and private sectors, ISO/IEC 27017 certification provides:

  • Verified Cloud Security Controls – Independent assurance that Circularo’s cloud infrastructure adheres to globally accepted security and privacy best practices.
  • Regional Data Sovereignty – Certified protection across Microsoft Azure EU and UAE regions and Oracle Cloud Saudi Arabia, ensuring that customer data stays within the respective jurisdiction.
  • Compliance Alignment – Reinforces compliance with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. (46) of 2021 on Electronic Transactions and Trust Services, EU GDPR, and eIDAS regulations.
  • Enhanced Transparency – Clear security responsibilities between Circularo as a cloud provider and customers as data controllers.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

This certification builds upon Circularo’s established reputation for trusted, secure digital transformation, complementing its ISO 27001 certification, eIDAS-compliant Qualified Trust Services, and government partnerships such as GovSign with the TDRA. Circularo continues to expand its secure cloud footprint and deliver solutions that combine sovereign data protection, regulatory compliance, and user-centric design.

“Our ISO 27017 certification is more than a compliance achievement – it’s a reflection of our deep commitment to cloud security, operational excellence, and customer trust,” added Mochola.
