While coronavirus left a lasting imprint on the world, our company has been fortunate to return to some normality. Hybrid working has allowed us to excel and deliver customer projects at our usual high standard while ensuring our employees can work in the most effective environments.
Our team have continued to use their Development Days to hone their skills in the latest Microsoft technologies, helping us continue implementing solutions up to par with best practices and current standards. This year we focused on growing our partner network to strategically offer solutions to new markets. Let’s look at some of the highlights from 2022!

ISO 27001 certification, achieved and certified again!
Earlier this year, we successfully completed an external assessment by UKAS accredited auditors that verified ISO 27001:2013 information security standards for a further three years. The assessment included coverage of our quality management system and confirmed the continuation of our ISO 9001 certification.
In maintaining these certifications, we demonstrate our commitment to managing information security and quality to internationally recognised standards across our business operations and delivering products and services to customers.

2022 – the year of Condatis Credential Gateway Launch!
Our Condatis Credential Gateway is a decentralized identity service that provides organisations with a developer platform to simplify defining trust frameworks, credential issuance and verification.
The gateway is a system-neutral solution, providing verifiable credential capabilities in a common standards-based way to support easy integration of verifiable credentials, data sources or identity verification service providers without being locked in with a specific vendor.
“We are taking the complex infrastructure and ecosystem of decentralized identity and building reusable components, tools and other resources to allow development teams and partners to consume these new technologies quicker, easier and more cost effectively.”
– Alasdair Murray, Chief Product Officer
To round up our year and turn the focus on our year ahead…
“As I look back over the past three years since our rebrand, I’m filled with so much pride. We have achieved so much in one year alone, staying true to our core values of being trusted, collaborative, inclusive and passionate about technology. I am delighted we have such a strong and supportive partner network working with us as we maintain our position as trusted experts in identity. Our relationship with our partners at Microsoft is stronger than ever, and we are continuously working towards our shared goal of driving decentralised identity adoption through Microsoft Entra Verified ID and our own Credential Gateway platform. I am grateful to all my colleagues for their constant effort and commitment to working harder and smarter, solving complex problems for our customers globally. I look forward to what we will achieve in the coming year. We can, and we will only go from strength to strength.” – Chris Tate, Condatis CEO
