Leading logistics service providers, Dachser, has reached ISO27001 certification across its central IT services, computer centres, infrastructure and IT departments in Germany.

Due to the ISO27001 certification, customers can now be sure that their data is kept safe. ISO27001 is the best practice specification that helps businesses and organisations throughout the world to develop a best-in-class Information Security Management System (ISMS).

As an internationally operating logistics provider, we need to comply with these high standards of information security worldwide and be able to prove that we are doing so,” says Christian von Rutzen, Dachser’s team leader for IT security.
