Geneva, Switzerland –
November 4, 2021 - WISeKey International
Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a
leading global cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT company,
announces that it has successfully renewed compliance with the
international ISO 27001 certification for information security.
WISeKey provides an end-to-end scalable security framework to
protect IoT ecosystems and devices from root to chip. Based on
secure semiconductors and leveraging PKI Technology, it will
protect the device and its data at rest or in transit. The security
accreditation of such product and services is a must to ensure its
trustworthiness.
ISO 27001 structures how businesses should manage risk
associated with information security threats, including policies,
procedures, and training for staff. ISO 27001 includes a risk
assessment process, organizational structure, information
classification, access control mechanisms, physical and technical
safeguards, information security policies, procedures, monitoring
and reporting guidelines.
The scope of the surveillance audit was confirmed and covers the
assessment of the WISeKey Semiconductor Management System
incorporating the requirements of ISO 27001:2013. The audit report
says “[…] It is impressive to note that all employees within each
of the areas audited provided an excellent overview of information
security awareness within their business operation and working
environment. The information security policies appear to be very
well understood, and there were no issues regarding compliance
against these policies. The management and staff at Wisekey should
be very proud to achieve such an outstanding level of information
security maturity across all areas of the business […]”
This accreditation confirms once more WISeKey’s position as a
trustworthy security technology supplier, specially oriented to the
new needs of the IoT.
This certification will allow WISeKey to proceed with the
vertical integration of its unique Root of Trust and Identity
technology with VaultIC’s hardware & software, system
certification, provisioning and up to management services, creating
the first ever comprehensive trusted end-to-end cybersecurity
platform for people and objects (IoT) and give WISeKey the unique
ability to deliver the most secure platform to its customers.
As we move forward, the IoT will quickly become the Internet of
Everything (IoE), with more devices and objects connected and able
to collect and transmit data over the internet. WISeKey’s Vertical
Platform potential for monetizing services, blockchain, AI and the
data produced by these connected devices continues to grow. The
total number of IoT connections is expected up to $27 billion in
2025, all of them requiring the type of security chips and software
offered by WISeKey. Global spending on IoT/IoE technology-based
services is now expected to reach $3 trillion by 2025.
Carlos Moreira, Chairman & CEO of WISeKey, commented, “We
are very proud of being able to keep demonstrating again the
robustness of our security portfolio, thanks to the renewal of this
important accreditation.”
Bernard Vian, General Manager of WISeKey Semiconductor
commented, “The ISO certification of our security practice ensures
our customers that every process involved in the design and
manufacturing of our products is executed under the most rigorous
secure and reliable control.”
