Arburg obtains ISO 27001 certificate for its information security

Arburg announces that it has been voluntarily certified to DIN ISO/IEC 27001 since March 2023. This globally recognized standard is proof that the machine manufacturer has implemented an effective information security management system (ISMS) in its information systems division and is doing its utmost to meet the high requirements of information security as well as the underlying security procedures.

"IT security is a top priority here at Arburg and is being vigorously advanced by our highly qualified team," said Jürgen Boll, Managing Director Finance, Controlling and IT at Arburg. "The ISO 27001 certification is now proof in black and white that we are reliably documenting and constantly improving our information security processes and continuously strengthening our IT resilience."

Arburg believes that it is at the forefront of the industry with its voluntary ISO 27001 certification. IT security and data protection have a high priority for this innovative family company, both at its central production site in Lossburg and in its own organizations at 35 locations in 25 countries around the world.

Arburg is certified to DIN ISO/IEC 27001.

"As this topic is close to our hearts and we already had a very good technical and organizational set-up, we were able to achieve certification in a record time of just six months," explained Andreas Dümmler, Divisional Manager Information Systems at Arburg. "We also worked with certified IT service providers to achieve this and, in the process, rebuilt and documented our ISMS."

Re-certification takes place every three years and a detailed risk assessment of all IT services is carried out annually, an analysis of which is incorporated into the company's own opportunity management. On top of this, there are internal audits, management evaluations and surveillance audits by TÜV Süd.

As an internationally recognized framework, ISO 27001 creates the "guard rails" to further advance corporate information security based on processes, guidelines and policies. This is what more and more customers, partners and suppliers are increasingly asking for and demanding.

Arburg is now ISO-certified in all important areas and transparently documents the relevant processes in associated manuals. The company's certifications comprise:

• ISO 9001 for quality management

• ISO 14001 for environmental management

• ISO 29993 for quality management in vocational and in-company training

• ISO 50001 for energy management

• new: ISO 27001 for information security
