Mitigating cyber threats
With ISO 27001 and 27017 certifications, Genetec customers can be confident they are working with an organisation that has put stringent controls in place to manage sensitive data and mitigate cyber threats when they’re using the company’s cloud solutions including Autovu Cloudrunner, Security Center SaaS edition, Genetec Stratocast™, Genetec Clearance™ , Genetec ClearID™ , SynergisTM, Access Control as a service, and Genetec Curb Sense™.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ISO/IEC 27017 builds on the principles of the ISO 27001 standard, which provides a checklist of controls for a company’s establishment, operation and maintenance of an information security management system.
ISO 27017 focuses on the protection of information in cloud services with a focus on major control areas including asset management, access control, physical security, and compliance. With ISO 27017, an organisation’s system and processes are subject to stringent security and privacy standards. Genetec has also received the UL 2900-2-3 level 3 cybersecurity certification for the fourth year in a row. The company remains the only VMS vendor in the world to have achieved this certification.
The UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) is a robust certification program that evaluates the security of network-connectable products and vendor processes.
The UL 2900-2- level 3 standard, for which the Genetec Security Center Omnicast™ VMS is certified, is specifically designed for life safety and physical security systems. It includes a series of checks including fuzz testing, code and binary analysis, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and risk management methodology validation
