CADOLZBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Companies increasingly recognize the importance of data security. The negative examples of the last months, compromised servers and hacked customer data, raised the awareness for a better IT security. The ISO standard 27001 addresses this desire for more data security. The certificate is much sought-after – by companies as well as service providers. However, ISO 27001 also makes high demands on companies, requiring encrypted data communication, for example. When it comes to encrypted communication, HOB software solutions are a very good choice: flexible, individual and extremely secure.
ISO 27001 Certifies Data Privacy and IT Security
Due to the certification IT security obtains a deliberate structure, greater attention and, a higher significance. Weaknesses can be systematically removed. The certification according to ISO 27001 may bring further advantages. With this certification the importance of IT security can be clearly proven to customers, partner or suppliers. This creates trust and conveys transparency. Even more, it can lead to a significant competitive advantage. Many (large) enterprises have begun to demand this certification from their partner and suppliers: No business without certification.
Confidentiality, Availability and Integrity of Company Information Must Be Guaranteed
The certification according to ISO 27001 is a comprehensive concept that considers all facets of IT security. For example, an information security management system has to be established. In this way, the confidentiality, availability and integrity of company resources is to be assured. Especially highly confidential information needs to be encrypted and communicated via a secure VPN. This procedure is recommended for less confidential data, as well. Also, the ready availability of information has to be assured via redundant servers and a high-capacity structure. Data integrity should be protected by a corresponding backup and recovery system.
Software from HOB Assures Encrypted, Secure, and Flexible Data Communication
The new HOB RD VPN provides very secure and flexible access to central company data, anytime and anywhere. Hereby, communications of any kind are encrypted and sent over a VPN. Additional security mechanisms, such as individual authentication possibilities or an optional compliance check, further increase the security level. However, usability is not restricted: almost every end device (desktop, notebook, etc.) may be used; an installation or administration rights on the end device are not required. Moreover, the GUI is intuitively usable and may be customized according to the special needs of the customer. If secure and flexible access to company resources via an iPhone or iPad is desired, HOBLink Mobile is a reliable solution. Here, too, the whole communication stream is encrypted. In addition, data are never stored on the iPhone: data safely remain within the company, even if the iPhone is lost or stolen.
Secure and flexible remote access solutions like the ones from HOB perfectly support companies of any size and industry to stay compliant with the ISO 27001 regulations.
