ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA has achieved ISO 27001 certification across multiple sites and business units – underlining the company’s commitment to information security.
The certification has now been granted to 15 key ASSA ABLOY sites across Europe, including ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA DAS R&D; ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Nordic Business Area; and ASSA ABLOY Ltd in Willenhall, UK.
ISO 27001 is the global standard that defines best practice for managing information security risks. Addressing evolving cyber threats and strengthening resilience across digital ecosystems, it demonstrates that an organisation has implemented systematic controls to protect information assets – providing assurance to customers, partners and regulators.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification is about digital security, not just physical security. It proves that the company’s products and digital services are developed and managed within a rigorously controlled environment, where risks are continually assessed, data is protected by design, and resilience is built into every stage of the process.
ISO 27001 is not legally mandated in the security industry, but ASSA ABLOY says the certifications demonstrate its commitment to going beyond the baseline requirements and also underline its commitment to meeting the requirements of the EU’s NIS2 directive and preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act.
Kelly Gill, senior vice president & chief technology officer at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA, comments: “The days when security threats to businesses were only physical are long gone. Today, we find ourselves in a world where the digital environment poses even more serious and constantly evolving challenges.
“At ASSA ABLOY, our approach to security is embedded in every stage of product development and service delivery, not least the digital space. Certifications like ISO 27001, as well as our adherence to NIS2 and the CRA, show our determination to safeguard customer data and ensure operational integrity.
“The journey doesn’t stop here. We are now expanding the scope of ISO 27001 certification across the business, ensuring that customers and partners can place even greater trust in ASSA ABLOY for secure and compliant digital solutions.”
