“At Ferranti, we’ve always believed that information security and quality are the cornerstones of our success. Adopting the updated ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard is not just about compliance — it’s about setting a higher standard in an ever-evolving digital landscape. Our certification for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 underscores our commitment to protecting our customers’ data and ensuring the reliability of our services.”

Energy and utility companies play a vital role in ensuring that a customer’s data is both secure and private in today’s digital world. As energy infrastructures become increasingly digitalized, they are prime targets for cyber-attacks which can cause significant disruptions and pose risks to both energy companies and their customers.

To counter these threats, robust information security measures are essential to protect operational data and secure customers’ sensitive personal information. By maintaining the highest standards in information security, companies enhance the reliability and safety of their services, fostering trust and ensuring a continuous, secure supply of energy and water to their consumers.

Ferranti has always been a leader in the integration of information security and quality standards within its operations and these values are deeply embedded in the company’s DNA. This long-standing commitment is evident from Ferranti’s maintenance of ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, which have ensured that its processes meet the highest standards of quality and security. With the adoption of the updated ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard for Information Security, Ferranti is once again raising the bar and reaffirming its dedication to protecting data in an increasingly complex digital landscape. It also underscores the critical importance of information security for Ferranti.

Ferranti is acutely aware of the challenges modern businesses face, particularly with the rapid pace of technological innovation in areas like artificial intelligence. While these advancements offer significant opportunities, they also introduce new risks that must be managed effectively. Ferranti recognizes these challenges and views the new standard as a further step in ensuring its information security practices remain robust and future-proof.

Dadir, a company that specializes in information security and quality management, has played a key role in helping Ferranti achieve this new certification. Their strong expertise and up-to-date understanding of the changing regulations, along with a practical, straightforward approach, have been vital for Ferranti. The long-standing partnership between Ferranti and Dadir is built on trust and a shared commitment to excellence, ensuring that best practices are not just followed but fully aligned with the highest industry standards.

Ferranti also understands the importance of adhering to the latest regulatory frameworks aimed at enhancing cybersecurity and data protection. New regulations, such as the NIS2 Directive and the EU AI Act are designed to set higher standards and establish solid processes for managing cybersecurity risks.

Ferranti’s commitment to these principles has always been clear and achieving the new ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification further demonstrates its proactive approach to meeting and exceeding these regulatory expectations.

Through this dedication to excellence in information security and quality standards, Ferranti not only protects its operations and customer data but also solidifies its position as a trusted leader in the industry.
