ISMS audit in accordance with CISIS12 successfully passed

In today’s digital world, information security is of paramount importance. Businesses and organisations are increasingly reliant on secure IT infrastructures and SaaS services to reliably implement digital processes and protect sensitive data.

Among others, the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) have for many years emphasised the need for greater security in the field of information technology and protection against IT crises.

A proven method for systematic security is the implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). A recognised standard in this field is ‘CISIS12’, a Compliance Information Security Management System implemented in twelve structured steps. CISIS12 is based, amongst other things, on the BSI’s IT-Grundschutz and the ISO/IEC 27001 standard; it is characterised by clear standard requirements, catalogues of measures and a multi-stage audit scheme, and is independently certified so that compliance with the standards can be verified by external auditors. It is specifically tailored to the structure of small to medium-sized organisations. This ensures that all security processes are transparent and traceable – for employees as well as for auditors, customers and partners – thereby enabling the implementation of high security standards that can be verified at any time.

To mark its 25th anniversary at the end of 2025, signotec has successfully completed the initial certification of its Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with CISIS12. The certificate from DQS, an independent certification body, now officially confirms signotec’s commitment to information security and thus the systematic implementation of high standards in this area – both technically and organisationally.

The CISIS12 certification brings the following particular benefits for signotec, as well as its customers and partners:

• Proof of compliance with established information security standards
• Protection of sensitive data and digital processes
• Standardised and reliable business processes
• Trained staff and an established security culture
• Demonstrable fulfilment of compliance and security requirements
• Proactive management of IT security risks and contingency plans

CISIS12 certification is more than just a seal of approval: it attests to signotec’s expertise and commitment in the field of IT security management.

IT security has always been a central component of signotec’s products and processes: sensitive data is protected, digital workflows are designed to be reliable, and unique security procedures are consistently implemented. This external certification now officially confirms what has been standard practice at signotec since its foundation: the highest standards, structured processes and trained staff. In doing so, signotec not only creates a secure environment for its own products, but also gives customers and partners the assurance that security standards are verifiably tested and reliably adhered to. The combination of many years of experience, ‘Made in Germany’ quality and official certification underlines signotec’s innovative strength and reliability. At the same time, the certification emphasises the commitment to embedding information security as an integral part of the company’s processes and culture.
