ISO 27001 and logistics software: how to assess WMS security realistically

WMS security should be evidenced, not merely claimed. COGLAS is certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 27001 (information security) and is regularly reviewed by external auditors. In addition, COGLAS WEB WMS is validated successfully every year by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML). Beyond that, roles, permissions, hosting, backups and interfaces in the specific project all matter.

In brief

ISO 27001 logistics software: the key context

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). COGLAS is certified to ISO 27001 and passes regular external audits, and is also certified to ISO 9001 (quality management). Customers benefit from demonstrably audited information security without having to build their own ISMS. For the WMS project, hosting, access protection, roles, permissions, backups and interfaces still need to be defined concretely.
