Every control above will be operating by 1 January 2027, except the ISO/IEC 27001 internal audit (March 2027), the certificate (June 2027) and full accessibility beyond sign-up and purchase (June 2027). The references are a map of which standard each area answers, not a claim of certification. Recovery targets: we aim to lose no more than 24 hours of data and to be back up within 24 hours.
