The thing is that according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights privacy and the right to private communication is a basic human right. And GDPR was literally enacted to enforce this human right.
Now one basic principle of democracy is that supreme courts are superior to the people in power. Someone needs to watch the lawmakers so to say. Because it could actually be that the European commission enacts laws that are illegal. And Chat Control 2.0 could actually be illegal because it violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, somebody has to take them to The Court of Justice of the European Union to test it.
My experience after 20 years in the hosting industry is that customers in general have more downtime due to self-inflicted over-engineered replication, or split brain errors than actual hardware failures. One server is the simplest and most reliable setup, and if you have backup and automated provisioning you can just re-deploy your entire environment in less than the time it takes to debug a complex multi-server setup.
I'm not saying everybody should do this. There are of-course a lot of services that can't afford even a minute of downtime. But there is also a lot of companies that would benefit from a simpler setup.
First of all management systems and ISO is a way of working, a method or a framework. Just like scrum and agile are methods for project management within a team, management systems within the context of ISO is a method or framework set up by the management to lead the company. If you don't believe in ISO as a method, then you should not do it. Simple as that.
Personally however I think that ISO and management systems solves a lot of the problems that most companies deals with, and it gives a structured way of setting goals and reaching them.
Secondly the certification is not the most important part. The certification proves that your management system works and that you are reaching your goals, but if your goals are shit then the certification rather proves that you are a shity company. In other words the certification in itself is not a quality badge.
