As digital commerce continues to evolve at lightning speed, so do customer expectations for transparency, trust, and fairness. In response to this growing need, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published a groundbreaking new standard: ISO 32122:2025 – Transaction assurance in E-commerce — Guidance for offering online dispute resolution services.
As the year gains momentum, the ISO standards landscape continues to deliver critical updates supporting organizations in areas such as anti-corruption, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and sustainable collaboration. This month’s developments emphasize trust, resilience, and integrated lifecycle management—key enablers for business continuity and long-term value creation.
The ISO/IEC/IEEE Joint Technical Committee on systems and software engineering continues to refine and expand its portfolio of standards to address the evolving needs of digital systems development, lifecycle management, and service acquisition. In early 2025, four Draft International Standards (DIS) were released for public review, marking significant progress in agile systems engineering, supplier management, planning, and incident response.
In a significant move for global cybersecurity coordination, ISO has formally published “ISO/IEC 20153:2025 Information technology — OASIS Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) v2.0 Specification“ as an international standard in early 2025. This milestone reflects the growing demand for structured, machine-readable vulnerability disclosure formats that promote faster and more consistent responses to security threats.
In February 2025, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released a significant revision to its anti-bribery management standard: ISO 37001:2025, Anti-bribery management systems — Requirements with guidance for use.
