ISO 27001 Certification: How CUBE Strengthens Construction Data Security

We are proud to announce that CUBE is now ISO 27001 certified, marking a major milestone in our journey to deliver secure, reliable, and future-ready digital solutions for the construction industry. As a platform built to manage the entire lifecycle of construction data, from BIM collaboration and document control to project execution, this certification reaffirms our commitment to protecting the sensitive information our users trust us with every day.

Digital adoption in construction is accelerating. But as more workflows move online and data volumes grow, cybersecurity has become a critical concern. From project designs and contracts to cost plans and schedules, today’s construction information must be securely stored, shared, and managed across diverse teams, locations, and systems.

That’s where ISO 27001 comes in, and why this certification is so significant for our users.

Why ISO 27001 Matters in Construction

ISO 27001 is a globally recognized international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for identifying and managing security risks across an organization’s operations, technologies, and people.

In the context of construction, ISO 27001 helps protect:

• Digital BIM models and design files
• Contracts, tenders, and legal documentation
• Financial data and procurement records
• Communication logs and team collaboration data

Traditionally, construction projects have relied on fragmented systems and siloed documentation, making them vulnerable to cyber threats, accidental data loss, and compliance issues. As projects become increasingly collaborative and cloud-based, safeguarding this information is paramount.

By achieving ISO 27001 certification, CUBE is not only meeting international best practices but also helping our clients meet their own data protection obligations, particularly on public and enterprise-level projects where security and compliance are non-negotiable.

Our Journey Toward ISO 27001 Compliance

Just like with our ISO 19650 certification, CUBE approached the ISO 27001 journey as an opportunity to improve how we work, not just tick a box.

Here’s how we imbibe ISO 27001 into our core operations:

• Security by Design

From the start, CUBE has prioritized secure architecture. Our platform is hosted on a highly secure, enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure that supports encryption and access controls at every level.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

We implemented granular access controls to ensure users only see and interact with the information relevant to them, minimizing the risk of internal data leaks. Role based access is available not just at Portal level, but also at Project and Organization levels. Further granularity exists for managing access to specific data at a file level as well.

• Encryption in Transit and at Rest

All project-related data, drawings, documents, emails, reports, is encrypted both in transit and at rest, using the latest industry standards to prevent interception or unauthorized access.

• Backup & Disaster Recovery

We built robust backup and recovery protocols into the system, so your project information is always protected, even in the event of technical failures or external threats.

• Activity Logs & Audit Trails

CUBE provides full visibility into user actions, with detailed logs and audit trails that support accountability, traceability, and compliance documentation.

• Continuous Training & Testing

Security isn’t just about technology, it’s also about people. Our team regularly undergoes security awareness training and we conduct penetration testing and audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

What This Means for CUBE Users

ISO 27001 certification reinforces our commitment to our users, giving you the confidence that CUBE handles your data securely, responsibly, and in line with global standards.

Whether you're working on public infrastructure, private developments, or enterprise-scale portfolios, you can count on CUBE to:

• Protect your project data
