ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001 in industrial production: your basis for secure and efficient processes
Your path to secure and efficient compliance
The advancing digitalization and networking in industrial production (keyword Industry 4.0) presents companies with a central challenge: the effective protection of their sensitive data, control systems and production processes. A structured information security management system (ISMS) in accordance with ISO 27001 forms the basis for preventing cyberattacks, business interruptions and data loss. Together with the IEC 62443 (ISA99), ISO 27019 and BSI IT-Grundschutz standards, the specific requirements in industrial environments can be comprehensively met.
Why an ISMS is indispensable for industrial companies
High availability & operational reliability
Every minute of production downtime in industry means considerable costs and damage to your image. An ISMS helps you to identify and close security gaps at an early stage. This ensures the availability of your machines and systems and prevents interruptions to production.
Protection against cyber attacks
Industrial plants are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals who want to manipulate machines or steal valuable data. A holistic ISMS strengthens your operational technology (OT) security and sustainably increases the security level of your IT/OT infrastructure.
Compliance with regulatory requirements
Industrial production is subject to numerous standards such as ISO 27001, IEC 62443, ISO 27019 and VDI/VDE 2182. An ISMS ensures transparency during audits and compliance checks and protects you from legal risks.
Competitive advantage and confidence building
By complying with international security standards, you gain the trust of customers, partners and investors. An ISO 27001-certified ISMS underlines your professionalism and highlights you as a reliable business partner.
How to start your ISMS project successfully
- As-is analysis & risk assessment: Identify weak points and prioritize risks for targeted IT and OT measures.
- Select the relevant standards: Determine the standards that are important for your company (ISO 27001, IEC 62443, BSI IT-Grundschutz).
- Implement appropriate measures: Use QSEC’s integrated suggestions to close security gaps and fulfill compliance requirements.
- Regular review and optimization: Operate your ISMS as a continuous process. Constantly adapt measures to new threats and technologies.
