ISO9001
Since 2017, Abstract has decided to conform to the ISO 9001 standards by obtaining Certification. ISO 9001 and all its updates are published by the International Standards Organization (ISO). ISO 9001:2015 is an international quality management system standard that provides a framework and set of best practices to improve the quality of any organization seeking to provide products and services. The theme of ISO 9001:2015 is the quality system which can be defined as the aggregate of all processes, resources, assets and cultural values that support the objective of customer satisfaction and organizational efficiency.

ISO27001
For Abstract, Information Security Management has always been of fundamental importance. For this reason, from 2023 Abstract has decided to complete the adaptation of its practices to the framework of "ISO/IEC 27001 - Information technology - Security techniques - Information security management systems - Requirements". "ISO/IEC 27001 is the main international standard focused on information security, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), in collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Both are important international organizations that develop international standards and that , as such, makes them recognizable throughout the world. In 2023 Abstract obtained ISO 27001 certification. The current standard established by this regulation is not, however, solely an IT security standard but rather a complete system to guarantee the management of physical, environmental and organizational security to which our organization has decided to comply.

ISO14064
Abstract has always been very attentive to the environment. For this reason it decided to conform to ISO standards by obtaining ISO 14064-1 certification in 2023. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed the ISO 14064-1 standard in 2006. The ISO 14064-1 standard is an environmental certification that allows organizations to quantify, report greenhouse gas emissions and establish activities for the removal of they. The requirements to allow the implementation of these activities have been defined within the standard. The standard provides for the implementation of an al in order to allow organizations to identify the main sources of emissions and adopt specific measures.
