DigiKey addresses cyber-crime with ISO 27001 certification

DigiKey has added ISO 27001 certification to its data security program, which relates to securely managing information for customers, suppliers and partners.

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.
