Electrical engineering has arrived in the cloud. The EPLAN Cloud is considered the central data hub for the ecosystem of industrial automation as well as for control cabinet engineering and panel building. But is the data in the EPLAN Cloud secure? “Yes,” says EPLAN Information Security Officer Martin Kerkmann, who also provides detailed answers to questions about the EPLAN Cloud’s standards, security and compliance. “With the new Trust Center, we’re providing an easily accessible and comprehensive information portal for our customers. This demonstrates transparency and increases trust in the EPLAN solutions.”
EPLAN Cloud now certified to ISO 27001
TÜV Nord has now also confirmed the security of the cloud applications; in February 2022, the EPLAN Cloud was certified to the ISO 27001:2013 international standard, giving users the assurance that the software meets these internationally recognised security standards. And that’s not all: the quality of the EPLAN Platform products and services were also independently confirmed as meeting the ISO 9001 standards for quality management. EPLAN has additionally been internationally recognised and the EPLAN Cloud has been added to the Star Registry on the manufacturer-independent platform of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
