CoVet Achieves ISO 27001 Certification for Enhanced Security in Veterinary Medicine

CoVet, a cutting-edge AI solution tailored to ease the administrative burden faced by veterinary professionals, has proudly announced its acquisition of the prestigious ISO 27001 certification. This certification represents a globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS) and aims to bolster the protection of sensitive data within veterinary practices.

For veterinary clinics, managing data encompasses a wide array of information that extends far beyond medical records. These clinics handle patient files, diagnostic results, treatment plans, customer contact details, billing information, and internal communications, all of which must be secure, accurate, and readily accessible. The achievement of ISO 27001 certification by CoVet signifies a commitment to safeguarding these vital data types through a structured risk management process, access controls, encryption practices, and ongoing monitoring.

As veterinary practices increasingly incorporate AI into their operations, not only does the performance of these systems come into play, but so do heightened expectations surrounding security. Veterinary teams require systems that efficiently document visits while also protecting customer data throughout its lifecycle. The ISO 27001 certification highlights CoVet's dedication to meeting these expectations with validated, internationally recognized controls.

Yannick Bloem, CoVet’s CEO, emphasizes the importance of this certification, stating, “Veterinary teams should not have to sacrifice efficiency for security. ISO 27001 raises the standards for data handling, from access permissions to incident response, and achieving this standard underscores how seriously CoVet takes this responsibility.”

CoVet was developed by veterinarians specifically for veterinarians. It enables teams to be present during appointments while significantly reducing post-visit documentation needs. The security framework includes stringent data access policies, infrastructure protection, and continuous risk assessment processes that align with international standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and SOC 2 Type 2.

Mike Parent, the COO of CoVet, adds, “AI must earn its place in the clinic. This certification reflects the systems and discipline behind our platform. It means that clinics can trust that the data supporting their care is managed with the same rigor they apply in practice.”

As CoVet continues to expand to support new workflows and specialties, its ISO 27001-certified ISMS provides a solid foundation for maintaining security, resilience, and accountability in evolving clinical environments.
