Ulm/Kempten, 21.07.2016 - Is my data secure? A question that is particularly important for users of cloud software. Transporeon has recently come up with a good answer. The company operates a web-based logistics platform that connects shippers with their transport service providers. Transporeon has installed an information security management system to ensure secure operation. This has been certified in accordance with ISO 27001:2013 since June. With this certificate, Transporeon is one of the first companies in its sector to demonstrate its high security standards.

"At Transporeon, we have already had high security standards for years. Nevertheless, it was important for us to have our information security management system audited and certified by an independent audit service provider," explains Ahmet Arslan, Managing Director of Transporeon GmbH.

This involves not only technical security requirements, but also many organizational issues. "Information security is more than just IT security. For example, we check exactly who we employ, who is allowed to make changes in which system or who has access to our offices. We also continuously raise our employees' awareness in training sessions, for example on how to handle passwords or how to work securely while on the move," says Ahmet Arslan.

Transporeon worked for nine months to develop an information security management system (ISMS) in accordance with ISO 27001:2013 from existing and supplemented measures. In May 2016, TÜV Rheinland audited the company and certified the effectiveness of the information security management system, which is used for the secure operation and service provision of the Transporeon communication platform. The certificate is initially valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits.

Overall, networking along the supply chain is continuously increasing - making these systems more susceptible to security risks. Many companies are aware of this and are paying more attention to security when selecting their partners, especially when sensitive data is passed on to external service providers. However, it is almost impossible for a client to check all security aspects individually. Ahmet Arslan: "From our point of view, the certificate offers our customers the advantage that they can benefit from our information security management without any effort on their part. We are delighted to be one of the first companies in our industry to comply with ISO 27001." red
