Numerex, a leading provider of single source secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, has recently announced that the company has completed the required three-year complete ISO/IEC (News - Alert)-27001:2005 information security standard re-certification. The original certification was registered on January 17, 2008 and the continuation of the registration has been achieved after a thorough re-assessment of the existing certification by a leading global independent business services organization.

Numerex (News - Alert) offers continuous commitment to data confidentiality, integrity and availability which are critical factors for its customers' M2M business services, technology, and products used in the development and support of M2M solutions for the commercial and residential security, government, transportation, utilities healthcare, and financial services markets worldwide. Numerex is the first M2M service provider in North America to be recognized and receive the prestigious ISO/IEC 27001:2005, better known as ISO 27001, information security-related certification.

The ISO 27001 is similar to the ISO 9001, except that it represents the paramount importance of information security. The ISO 27001 certification also facilitates the compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) as well as other information security-related legislation and regulations in Numerex’s markets such as utilities, financial services, healthcare, government, and across markets.

In a release, Stratton J. Nicolaides, chairman and CEO of Numerex said that, "Our focus on information security is well documented throughout the M2M industry. Numerex's solutions are all developed and deployed in a secure environment. Since our initial ISO 27001 registration, we have continued to strengthen our processes and systems in order to provide strong and quality data protection measuring up to the rigorous expectations of our various customers. Our dedication to, and emphasis on information security have been and continue to be a critical and strong driver of our growth."
