The ISO/IEC 27001 standard specifies the requirements for the establishment, operation, and continuous improvement of an information security management system (ISMS). TÜV Rheinland conducted comprehensive audits of GEA Group's corporate headquarters in Düsseldorf and GEA Group Services GmbH, covering GEA Group Shares Services worldwide, such as IT, Human Resources and Purchasing, as well as the six Düsseldorf sites.
"GEA is deeply committed to protecting information. After all, it serves to protect our business partners on the one hand and to safeguard our corporate success on the other. Therefore, we are very proud to have successfully achieved this certification," says Christian Niederhagemann, Chief Information Officer at GEA and Managing Director of GEA Group Services GmbH.
The next step will be to extend safety certifications to other production sites, starting with GEA's largest site in Oelde, Germany.
