We are proud to announce that IFS has successfully passed the re-certification audit for its ISO 27001 Information Security Management System.
In the IFS Database, we store data from certified sites, certification bodies, auditors, consultants and other stakeholders. At IFS, we know that this involves a great responsibility.
To ensure a consistently high level of security, we continuously improve our Information Security Management System (ISMS). As part of our certification cycle, KPMG Cert GmbH, a subsidiary of KPMG Deutschland, regularly audits our ISMS. This year, we successfully passed the re-certification audit under DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001:2022, confirming that our ISMS continues to meet the latest requirements of the standard.
ISO 27001 is the international standard for an organisation’s ISMS. Its purpose is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information and to systematically minimise risks.
An ISO 27001 audit evaluates the implementation of processes and measures according to this standard. The audit includes a review of documentation, an assessment of the management system’s compliance, on-site inspections and verification of ISMS implementation.
A successful re-certification demonstrates that an organisation maintains high security standards and continuously works to strengthen information security. It also enhances trust among customers, partners and other stakeholders.
A regular training programme ensures that IFS employees stay informed about the latest developments and potential risks in information security. The auditors were particularly impressed by the employees’ commitment to embedding information and data security into their daily routines. Achieving ISO 27001 compliance is a team effort and reflects a significant organisational achievement.
Special thanks go to our IFS Colleagues Tina Brune, Quality Management Commissioner, and René Hoffmann, Information Management Officer, who ensure that we all know and follow the rules and regulations that help protect us from cyber threats.
