SMIGHT GmbH has received ISO 27001 certification for information security management. This certification underlines the company’s commitment to the highest standards of data security and the protection of customer information, operating predominantly in the critical infrastructure (KRITIS) sector.
More than 120 distribution network operators now use SMIGHT GmbH’s plug-and-play retrofit solution for measuring low-voltage outgoing circuits. Like all grid operators, they work in one of the most sensitive infrastructures and must meet special legal requirements in terms of information security. SMIGHT GmbH has now undergone the ISO 27001:2022 certification process in order to continue to provide these companies with the trust and necessary security as a supplier of hardware and software.
ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). It was developed to help organizations of all sizes and industries to protect their information systematically and cost-effectively by implementing an ISMS.
“The confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer data has always been a top priority for us,” says Oliver Deuschle, one of the two Managing Directors at SMIGHT. “The ISO 27001 certification attests to our holistic security concept and now also makes secure data processing explicitly transparent.”
To achieve the certification, SMIGHT underwent a comprehensive audit process carried out by TÜV SÜD Management GmbH, an independent and recognized provider of audit and certification services. This process included a detailed assessment of the IT infrastructure, business processes and company policy with regard to information security.
The ISO 27001 certification is part of SMIGHT’s ongoing efforts to keep this process alive and to continuously invest in improving information security.
