ISO 27001, which is independently audited, is the international industry standard for information security management systems.
“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 Thief River Falls-based distributor said the award of the certification would be foundational for it to prepare for and obtain other certifications.
