ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best known standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It defines requirements that organizations must meet when putting a system into place to manage risks related to the security of data owned or handled by the company. Within Europe this is ultimately supported by CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, and within Germany at federal/national level by the BSI, the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (Federal Office for Information Security).

ficonTEC had previously already attained certification. However, with the ever increasing risk associated with cyber-attacks and data theft, ficonTEC is committed to shoring up its own existing organizational resilience.

Through updates to internal security, we intend to provide a solid basis for the security in the products that we offer to our customers. Any implementation must also remain both robust and future-safe. Accordingly – initiated through the recent adoption of corresponding BSI-licensed tools – ficonTEC is currently working intensively to re-establish full certification. Current developments envisage certification to the latest Edition (ISO 27001:2022) by early 2024, or possibly beforehand.
