DigiKey reported June 20 that it’s added ISO 27001 certification to its data security program. This certification confirms the company’s commitment and ability to manage information securely and safely.
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 by following industry best practices. More details are available at the Trust and Assurance Center at DigiKey’s website.
“ISO 27001 certification promotes a holistic approach to information security, and is a tool for risk management, cyber-resilience and operational excellence,” says Ramesh Babu, CIO 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.”
In addition, ISO 27001 certification is a foundational standard that helps DigiKey prepare for and obtain other certifications, and demonstrates that its programs are independently audited and align with the standard. DigiKey’s information security program also offers customers and suppliers access to other security tools, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect accounts from fraud and unauthorized access.
