GENEVA – June 30, 2023: WISeKey
International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY),
a leading global digital security company, today announced
that its Semiconductor & PKI
subsidiary SEALSQ Corp. (NASDAQ: LAES), renewed
compliance to the demanding International Organization for
Standardization (“ISO”) 27001 certification standard for
information security.
This accreditation confirms once more that
SEALSQ is among the very few trustworthy security technology and
hardware suppliers in the world.
The ISO 27001 standard has rigorous requirements
for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually
improving a company’s Information Security Management System
(ISMS). This renewal, standing for over two decades, demonstrates
the company’s long-term commitment and ability to comply with the
most demanding security standards and best practices of the
industry.
Carlos Moreira, Chairman & CEO of WISeKey,
commented, “We are proud to continue to demonstrate the robustness
of our security portfolio, thanks to the renewal of this important
accreditation.”
Bernard Vian, General Manager at WISeKey
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.”
ISO is a non-governmental international body
that develops and publishes a wide range of standards. ISO 27001
standard, specifically, focuses on providing a model for
establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing,
maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management
System.
The standard adopts a process-based approach for
establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing,
maintaining, and improving ISMS. The ISO 27001 standard and ISMS
provides a framework for information security management best
practice that helps organizations to:
- Protect client and employee information.
- Manage risks to information security effectively.
- Achieve compliance with regulations such as the European Union
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- Protect the company's brand image.
The certification process for ISO 27001 is undertaken by
accredited certification bodies. The process involves two
stages:
- A
preliminary audit, also known as Stage 1, is performed to
check the organization's preparedness for the certification. This
includes assessing whether the necessary ISO 27001 procedures and
controls have been developed in the organization's ISMS. It also
checks if the organization is ready for the full certification
audit.
- The main
audit, also known as Stage 2, assesses the implementation
and effectiveness of the organization's ISMS. It verifies that the
organization's information security management system has been
properly designed and implemented.
Organizations that pass audit stages and agree
to the necessary follow-up audits, are certified as ISO 27001
compliant. This certification is a clear indicator to clients,
stakeholders, and the public that the organization takes
information security seriously.
