Successful ISO recertification for Arcplace

The world's most important standard in the field of information security, ISO/IEC 27001 was updated at the end of 2013 and published in the revised version, ISO/IEC 27001:2013. Arcplace AG has undergone testing of its information security management system according to the new standard and has been successfully recertified by SQS.

 

Information security is now essential for every company – including Arcplace. The ISO 27001 certification by SQS, a leading Swiss organization for certification and assessment services, identifies and minimizes risks associated with information security. It covers the technical, organizational and operational aspects of information security and verifies that the processes, services and IT systems of a certified company meet the required security standard.

Challenge and insight

Any management faces major challenges when it comes to protecting its intellectual property or preventing threats to and attacks on its IT systems. "For Arcplace the challenge was to establish the ISMS (Information Security Management System) in conjunction with processes, technology and employees in the company," explains Dominic Wullschleger, Information Security Officer at Arcplace. "With the certification at Arcplace, the debate on the issue of IT security has fundamentally changed. The culture, mindset and attitude to IT security have changed for the better. To be able to maintain the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, we must and will continue to develop the ISMS."

Significance for Arcplace and its customers

For Arcplace, the certification means that the company complies with internationally recognized IT security guidelines and consequently also meets the requirements of large corporations which now demand this certification of their IT suppliers. Customers have a supplier whose IT services (processes, technologies, employees) are certified in terms of IT security. They can be confident that the handling of information security meets strict international standards.
