Setting the record straight on recent misleading claims about our compliance platform.

They’ve possibly dug an even deeper hole now.

None of their ISO 27001 certificates, aside from the premium one-offs with the vCISO, are accredited by any reputable ISO accreditation body. I would even argue that IAS, who accredited Prescient Security (mentioned as a reputable body in the article), has a questionable reputation and certainly gives off a pay-to-play impression.

You can look up the names of their partners below. The one body I found that is on the register (Accorp) is accredited by UAF, a known cert-mill accreditation body, and I’m not even sure it’s the same Accorp that Delve has partnered with.

For reference, you want a ISO certificate issued by a body accredited by UKAS (UK gov. adjacent non-profit), ANAB (ANSI), or equivalent, all government-recognised. This is normally the first thing I check whenever someone claims ISO 27001 certification and it is a great heuristic to validate certification rigour.

Shockingly low levels of DD by everyone involved here.
