Opengear, an innovative security solutions provider and part of Digi International, has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. This notable achievement underscores the company’s dedication to maintaining robust security protocols for managing critical network infrastructure, even during significant outages or emergencies.
With the increasing complexity of cyberattacks and the dispersal of infrastructure, organizations are exceedingly careful about the vendors they choose for crucial services. The certifications obtained by Opengear assure clients that their security measures meet globally recognized standards for security, availability, and confidentiality. Consequently, the company now stands among a select group of infrastructure management providers with this level of certified security.
For businesses, these certifications translate into a direct benefit. They experience reduced vendor risk and streamlined compliance, facilitating easier procurement processes. Moreover, these credentials provide assurance that Opengear employs rigorous security controls across its conference room, support systems, and operational framework which contributes to their own internal audits, regulatory conformity, and risk management programs.
Independent auditors assessed Opengear’s security practices, scrutinizing core operational areas such as data protection, access governance, system monitoring, risk management, and third-party oversight. The findings confirm consistent, systematic security processes within the company which protect sensitive information across various departments, including engineering, firmware development, and internal systems.
Patrick Quirk, President of Opengear, stated, “These certifications affirm that security is embedded into every part of how Opengear operates. It is not only our products and hardware that meet these standards. Our processes, our systems, and the way we run the business every day reflect a deep commitment to protecting customer environments.”
In regulated industries or environments with highly distributed infrastructures, organizations can rely on Opengear for secure and reliable access to vital network equipment when production networks are inaccessible. Achieving SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reinforces Opengear’s position as a trusted management platform for remote recovery, planned maintenance, and rapid incident response.
In parallel, Digi International has been advancing its compliance agenda. Their recent SOC 2 Type 2 attestation for Digi Remote Manager and SmartSense, along with Opengear’s achievements, are pillars of Digi’s broader security strategy. These steps are part of a continuous improvement journey, ensuring security governance aligns with evolving customer and regulatory needs.
