ResTech company Walr creates CIO role following ISO 27001 accreditation

Walr, the ResTech company behind the data creation platform, today announces the appointment of Yaron Brenman as CIO. The announcement follows the company’s internationally recognised ISO 27001 accreditation for information security management, also secured this week.  

With more than 20 years in the insights industry, Yaron began his career at Confirmit (now Forsta), before moving into numerous leadership roles at other well-regarded research firms.  

Previously Walr’s Head of Americas, Brenman’s new role as CIO demonstrates the company’s desire to put quality front and centre. Combining his commercial expertise, deep industry knowledge and eye for the small print, Yaron will be responsible for making sure the company scales quickly and sustainably, without compromising on data security.  

This milestone, alongside the ISO 27001 accreditation, signals to customers that their data is being looked after. 

Lewis Reeves, Walr Founder and CEO, comments, “This represents a fantastic step forward for the business. As we scale quickly it’s important that we build an extremely secure data company that delivers the highest level of trust and confidence for our customers. Yaron’s industry experience, understanding of technology and attention to detail brings significant value to the business.” 

Brenman adds, “Data sits at the very heart of our company. We are dedicated to helping our customers and team curate insights with simplicity, from the secure confines of the Walr Platform. Our ISO 27001 certification proves our commitment to constantly scrutinise our technology, so it is held to the highest security standards. I’m looking forward to improving and refining our processes further as we continue on this trajectory of growth.”
