Legrand has been recognized for achieving the highest standard for managing information security in its products and services.
Its Data, Power & Control division (DPC) received ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification, an acknowledgement that it surpasses standards and expectations for cybersecurity, cryptography, data privacy, vulnerability and penetration testing, from research and development (R&D) to production.
“Cybersecurity issues are a key and growing area of concern for the markets we serve. During the product evaluation phase or through customer security audits, we’ve seen an increase in security-related inquiries. Legrand is proud to go above and beyond when it comes to device security. Whether the end-use application is in data centers or any other market that employs mission-critical services – when a customer puts a Legrand device on a network, the security conversation is critical. Either through new product development features, like our new ‘secure boot’ feature on our new generation of rack power distribution products, or efforts like this ISO certification, we prove our commitment to the highest levels of security.”
Adam Murano, Vice President of Software Excellence at Legrand North America
Legrand achieved all 114 process controls required for ISO27001 certification in its engineering group. It also adheres to NIST and ISO standards (including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001) while conducting additional vulnerability and penetration testing for its network-connectable products. As a result, its products undergo further cybersecurity testing to reveal vulnerability or risk of unauthorized access as a means of addressing problems before they occur in real-world scenarios.
This certification covers software and firmware developed by Legrand for connected devices, embedded systems, and IT systems in the DPC R&D centers in Somerset, New Jersey, Reno, Nevada, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania and Zwickau, Germany, including the brands Raritan, Server Technology, and Starline.
