NORTH WALES, Pa., Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DEKRA, a
global management system certification body, announced today that
its US-based subsidiary DEKRA Certification, Inc. has received
accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to
certify organizations to the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security
standard. The ISO 27001 standard helps organizations manage the
security of digital assets such as financial information,
intellectual property, personal and customer data. ISO 27001 is the
most widely recognized international standard that ensures best
practices are being followed in information security management
systems.
ANAB was the very first management systems accreditation body in
the United States. Today, they are
the largest accreditation body in North
America, and their accredited certification bodies,
including DEKRA, issue certifications that meet global standards
and can be recognized around the world. DEKRA has been an ANAB
accredited certification body for 25 years.
"As we see frequently in the news, information security and data
privacy cannot be taken for granted," said Dr. Cem Onus,
Managing Director of DEKRA Audits. "Frequent data breaches, even
among the most advanced companies are becoming commonplace, so
the need for internationally-recognized best practices in
cybersecurity management is more important than ever. Achieving
US-based accreditation for ISO 27001 is in line with our
strategic growth plan in the region for Information Security
auditing and certification services. ISO 27001 Certification
