Halal integrity and data integrity: two sides of the same trust

Halal certification depends on records: where meat came from, how it was processed and how it was stored. As those records move from paper into software, protecting them becomes part of protecting the certification itself.

An altered record can be as damaging to customer trust as a lapse on the processing floor, even when the product itself is perfectly fine.

Simple protections that make a difference

• Restrict who can edit certification records, and review the list every quarter
• Keep an unchangeable history of edits
• Back up records somewhere an attacker on your network cannot reach
• Practise producing records quickly for an auditor during a system outage

Food safety, halal integrity and cyber security are often run by different teams. The strongest businesses we see bring them together.
