MARKT-PILOT Achieves ISO 27001 Certification for Information Security

STUTTGART, Germany - May 15, 2025 - PRLog -- MARKT-PILOT has been awarded the internationally recognized ISO/IEC 27001 certification at the end of February, demonstrating its commitment to information security. With this step, the software provider for market-oriented spare parts pricing in the mechanical engineering industry emphasizes its strong awareness of the protection of customer data, sensitive company information, and the entire IT infrastructure.

"The ISO 27001 certification represents the next level in securing business-critical data and IT processes," says Kai Wiemer, Vice President of Engineering and CISO at MARKT-PILOT. "Our goal is not only to meet legal requirements but also to act as a role model for transparency, responsibility, and reliability in the mechanical engineering industry."

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's leading standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an ISMS. The goal is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and to minimize risks. At MARKT-PILOT, this includes data and information protection, risk management processes, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, process optimization, and deepening security awareness throughout the company.

Officially Confirmed: MARKT-PILOT's ISMS at the Highest Level

As part of the ISO 27001 certification, existing security and development processes were specifically optimized and aligned with international standards. The Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) ensures that security requirements are integrated early in the development process. In addition, the cloud infrastructure has been "hardened" and access mechanisms refined to protect sensitive data as effectively as possible.

Security measures for customer data and cloud backups have also been comprehensively reviewed and adapted to current requirements. The incident response process for customer inquiries was also refined, and a standardized procedure for handling sensitive customer information securely was established to further strengthen data protection and transparency.

The company SBcert, which was commissioned with the audit, expressly emphasized the high quality of the documentation and structure of MARKT-PILOT's ISMS.

"The certification proves our ability to minimize risks," explains Kai Wiemer. This positions MARKT-PILOT as a pioneer in an industry where precise, trustworthy data processing is of crucial importance. Especially for startup and scale-up companies, this award is a rare quality feature, as it is mainly found in large companies. "It confirms that data is protected to the highest standard with us," emphasizes Kai Wiemer. "The certification strengthens the trust of our customers, partners, and investors in our technologies, but also our market position, because it sets us apart from the competition."
