June 20 2024 - 10:00AM
DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest
selection of technical components and automation products in stock
for immediate shipment, announced today it has added ISO 27001
certification to its robust data security program. With this
certification, the company builds upon its commitment and ability
to manage information securely and safely for its customers,
suppliers and partners.
ISO 27001 is the international industry standard for information
security management systems. It assures customers, suppliers and
employees of DigiKey's commitment to safeguarding information
following industry best practices.
“ISO 27001 certification promotes a holistic approach to
information security and is a tool for risk management,
cyber-resilience and operational excellence,” said Ramesh Babu,
chief information officer at DigiKey. “This approach helps DigiKey
become risk-aware and proactively identify and address weaknesses
to meet the challenges of cyber-crime while protecting our
customers, employees and partners.”
The ISO 27001 certification is a foundational standard that
helps DigiKey to prepare for and obtain other certifications as
needed and demonstrates that the company’s programs are
independently audited and align with the standard.
In addition to ISO 27001 certification, DigiKey’s information
security program offers customers and suppliers access to other
robust tools such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect
accounts from fraud and unauthorized access.
