NET2GRID successfully achieved its certification again - now against the ISO 27001:2022 standard

NET2GRID has successfully completed its transition to the updated ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard, maintaining its certification status with the latest information security framework. With business operations based in Zeist, the Netherlands and Thessaloniki, Greece, NET2GRID underwent a comprehensive audit conducted by Kiwa at both locations to validate compliance with the revised standard. The certification process ran smoothly thanks to the effective and pleasant collaboration between NET2GRID and VEST, its trusted security partner. Together, they ensured that all requirements of the updated ISO 27001:2022 standard were thoroughly met. This successful transition builds upon NET2GRID's previous ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certification achieved in 2022.

What is ISO and why does it matter?

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is one of the most recognized and trusted standardization bodies in the world. Its standards are developed and agreed upon by international experts across industries. In response to growing information security threats worldwide, the ISO/IEC 27001 standard provides a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Rather than prescribing specific technologies, it offers a risk-based approach that helps organizations systematically manage and protect information assets across all forms—digital, physical, and intellectual—throughout their lifecycle. 

NET2GRID’s certification journey

Recently, NET2GRID achieved certification under the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard. Prior to the official audit, VEST supported NET2GRID by performing a gap analysis and conducting an internal audit to prepare for the recertification process.

During the external audit by Kiwa, NET2GRID's ISMS was meticulously reviewed to identify any weak points or areas for improvement. Passing this audit confirms that NET2GRID has implemented a comprehensive security framework addressing not only cyber threats—such as malware, phishing, and ransomware—but also physical security, human resource security, access control, business continuity, and supplier relationship management. This holistic approach to information security reinforces the company's commitment to protecting all forms of information assets, including personal data belonging to both employees and customers.

Staying secure in a changing world

As organizations grow and the threat landscape evolves, maintaining effective information security requires continuous attention and adaptation. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides NET2GRID with a structured framework that clearly defines roles, responsibilities, and accountability at all levels of the organization.

Rather than just annual checkpoints, the standard promotes an ongoing cycle of risk assessment, control implementation, and performance evaluation. This Plan-Do-Check-Act approach allows NET2GRID to continuously adapt its security posture to address emerging threats, technological changes, and evolving business requirements—ensuring the company remains resilient and trusted in an increasingly complex security environment.
