ASSA ABLOY underlines “strong 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.

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, certification demonstrates that an organisation has implemented systematic controls to protect information assets, duly providing assurance to customers, partners and regulators.

Achieving ISO 27001 certification reflects ASSA ABLOY’s dedication to 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.

Further, while ISO 27001 is not legally mandated in the security industry, the certifications demonstrate ASSA ABLOY’s commitment to going beyond the baseline requirements to provide a true competitive advantage for its customers.

They also underline ASSA ABLOY’s commitment to meeting the requirements of the European Union’s NIS2 directive and preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act. Alongside ISO 27001, the company’s secure development practices ensure products are designed with cyber security in mind and undergo rigorous risk assessments and incident reporting.

Evolving challenges

Kelly Gill, senior vice-president and chief technology officer at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA, commented: “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.”

Gill continued: “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 Cyber Resilience Act, show our determination to safeguard customer data and ensure operational integrity.”

In addition, Gill observed: “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.”
