Certified to the
standards that matter
We don't just build software, we hold ourselves to internationally certified standards. Every certification here is independently audited, not self-declared.
Certified to the
One of Ireland's first companies to achieve ISO 42001:2023 certification
The globally recognised AI governance standard.
ISO 42001:2023 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems. It sets requirements for how an organisation develops, deploys, and governs AI responsibly, covering risk management, transparency, human oversight, and accountability.
Being certified means an independent auditor has verified that Square Root Solutions has real processes in place for managing AI risk, not just a policy document sitting on a shelf. Every AI system we build, from agentic AI to computer vision to AI-powered analytics, is governed to this standard, with human oversight built into sensitive decisions and clear accountability for how AI systems behave in production.
What this means for your project:
AI features are built with documented risk assessment, not guesswork
Human oversight is built in for high-stakes or sensitive decisions
Clear logging and accountability for how your AI system makes decisions
Alignment with what the EU AI Act increasingly expects from AI providers
ISO 27001:2022 certified company
The internationally recognised information security management standard.
ISO 27001 is the world's leading standard for information security management. It covers how an organisation identifies, manages, and reduces risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, from access control and encryption to incident response and staff training.
Every project we deliver, whether it involves personal data, financial information, or sensitive business systems, is built under the same information security management practices this certification requires.
What this means for your project:
Formal risk assessment applied to every system we build
Role-based access control and data encryption as standard
Independent, third-party audit, not a self-assessment
A documented incident response process, not an improvised one
GDPR compliant by design
Every project we build considers EU data protection requirements from day one, not as an afterthought.
GDPR compliance isn't a separate certification we hold, it's a design principle built into how we work. Every platform we deliver is designed with data minimisation, lawful basis for processing, EU data residency, and data subject rights in mind from the earliest architecture decisions, not bolted on before launch.
Built for the frameworks your industry requires
Beyond our certifications, we design with the specific legal and regulatory frameworks your industry operates under in mind from day one.
Not every regulatory requirement comes with a certification you can display. Laws like HIPAA and CCPA don't have an official certifying body, but the safeguards they require are just as real, and just as important to get right. We design with these frameworks in mind from the earliest architecture decisions, the same way we approach GDPR.
HIPAA-aware development
For clients in healthcare, we design with HIPAA safeguards in mind: encrypted data at rest and in transit, detailed access logging, and the technical foundations needed to support a Business Associate Agreement with your organisation.
CCPA-aware development
For clients handling the data of California residents, we build with CCPA data subject rights in mind, including data access, deletion, and opt-out requirements, applying the same data protection thinking we bring to GDPR.

Independently verified, not self-declared
Anyone can claim to take security and AI governance seriously. Certification means someone independent checked. ISO 42001 and ISO 27001 both require external audit by an accredited certification body, ongoing surveillance audits to maintain certification, and documented evidence, not just policy statements.
When you work with a certified partner, you're not taking our word for it. You're relying on a standard that's been independently verified and has to be re-earned on an ongoing basis.
