ASSA ABLOY achieves ISO 27001 certification across multiple sites and business units

» THE CERTIFICATION has now been granted to 15 key ASSA ABLOY sites across Europe, including ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA DAS R & D; ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Nordic Business Area; and ASSA ABLOY Ltd in Willenhall, UK.
ISO 27001 is the global standard that defines best practice for managing information security risks. Addressing evolving cyber threats and strengthening resilience across digital ecosystems, it demonstrates that an organisation has implemented systematic controls to protect information assets – providing assurance to customers, partners and regulators.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification reflects ASSA ABLOY’ s
dedication to digital security, not just physical security. It proves that the company’ s products and digital services are developed and managed within a rigorously controlled environment, where risks are continually assessed, data is protected by design, and resilience is built into every stage of the process. Furthermore, while ISO 27001 is not legally mandated in the security industry, the certifications demonstrate ASSA ABLOY’ s commitment to going beyond the baseline requirements to provide a true competitive advantage for its customers.
They also underline ASSA ABLOY’ s commitment to meeting the requirements of the EU’ s NIS2 directive and
preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act. Alongside ISO 27001, the company’ s secure development practices ensure products are designed with cybersecurity in mind and undergo rigorous risk assessments and incident reporting.
Kelly Gill, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA, comments:“ At ASSA ABLOY,
our approach to security is embedded in every stage of product development and service delivery, not least the digital space. Certifications like ISO 27001, as well as our adherence to NIS2 and the CRA, show our determination to safeguard customer data and ensure operational integrity.
“ The journey doesn’ t stop here. We are now expanding the scope of ISO 27001 certification across the business, ensuring that customers and partners can place even greater trust in ASSA ABLOY for secure and compliant digital solutions.”

‘ Talking Shop’

» GLAZPART IS PLEASED to announce a series of new events for 2026 in partnership with PiGs( People in Glazing Society).
The new event called“ Talking Shop with Glazpartners” is in conjunction with the five PIGs events across the UK in 2026. The sessions sponsored by Glazpartners, will take place an hour before the PiGs events in the same venues, and will have technical experts from Glazpartners present for informal discussions.
Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director commented“ Glazpartners was started two and a half years ago and has grown to 65 companies across the supply chain. It was set up to encourage greater collaboration between Glazpart and our customers and partners. The five Talking Shop events in 2026 will be the ideal platform for companies to discuss issues with experts who are Technical Glazpartners, in an informal setting.
“ The feedback from Glazpartners last year indicates that there is an appetite for this type of informal event for companies looking to make more connections, develop stronger relationships and increase their information and technical knowledge.” Glazpart has already had invitations accepted from technical consultants and technical staff from professional
bodies such as GGF( Glass and Glazing Federation) and CAB( Council for Aluminium in Building) to take part in the new events, which start at 4pm before all PIGs social events in 2026.
“ Talking Shop with Glazpartners” offers companies a chance to discuss the issues that matter most to their business with experts who can help with ideas, information and solutions.
