forghetti achieved ISO 27001 certification this year.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It defines requirements an ISMS must meet.
The ISO/IEC 27001 standard provides companies of any size and from all sectors of activity with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system.
Conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 means that an organization or business has put in place a system to manage risks related to the security of data owned or handled by the company, and that this system respects all the best practices and principles enshrined in this International Standard.
With cyber-crime on the rise and new threats constantly emerging, it can seem difficult or even impossible to manage cyber-risks. ISO/IEC 27001 helps organizations become risk-aware and proactively identify and address weaknesses.
ISO/IEC 27001 promotes a holistic approach to information security: vetting people, policies and technology. An information security management system implemented according to this standard is a tool for risk management, cyber-resilience and operational excellence.

forghetti signed a development contract with CIRA to develop replacement applications for both their Canadian Shield and DNS Firewall platforms. They are replacing both back and front end systems and the forghetti team has contracted with Nerdzlab of the Ukraine to deliver this project. It is a 6 month project which encompasses iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Chrome OS platforms as well as the support of MDM delivery mechanisms.
The platforms are the first step in CIRA taking control of their product range. The plan thereafter is to incorporate other cyber security platforms (e.g. forghetti) and to market them to their customer base across Canada.

We have all been using forghetti for several years now and it seems so simple (to me at least) to use... life without it would not be the same.
However as we all know, we continue to meet people... friends, business contacts who have not engaged... we clearly need to do more, but sometimes it can be the little things that make that difference...
Our onboarding is decent, our eduction ongoing needs input... When we get further investment, I would like to double down on our product market fit, so that we become the simple solution for all, once and for all.
Here is a link to an article which is interesting and covers some of the aspects of what is called Product Market Fit. Have a read when you have a moment.

Despite the silence, James, Charlie and I continue to explore avenues of growth so that we can indeed do something great. We have had some interest over the past few months from various sides of the world, but fundamentally we are still held back by partner delay and the reality that forghetti is not a focus for them. We have therefore been exploring the opportunities for raising investment. We have of course been here before, but we have never actually pressed the button on making it happen. I hope to be able to provide a concrete update towards the end of September 2024.

With the new website comes a new and more secure investor portal. Up to date with all the latest goings on at forghetti, we hope that you find this to be a useful resource.

John now has complete control of the area of the business with whom we would wish to partner. Whilst this does not mean things happen faster, it does mean that there is still light at the end of the tunnel.

In line with partnership discussions, I am pleased to confirm that the penetration testing of the platform has been completed and that we have a clean bill of health.
