We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our second renewal of ISO/IEC 27001 certification, reaffirming our commitment to protecting information assets through a robust, audited and continuously improving Information Security Management System (ISMS).  In an environment where cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, data volumes are accelerating, and regulatory and contractual expectations are intensifying, ISO 27001 remains a critical benchmark for security governance. However, while compliance is the baseline, resilience is the goal. For Cosmo Tech, ISO 27001 represents the framework that translates complex cyber pressures into a clear, proactive commitment to our customers’ long-term security. Beyond compliance: Demonstrating maturity and resilienceCompleting a second ISO 27001 renewal goes beyond achieving initial compliance. It demonstrates a sustained commitment to continuous improvement, consistency, and resilience over time, and confirms that security is not treated as a one-time compliance exercise, but as a fundamental and continuously evolving part of our operations, governance, and culture. “Renewing our

ENCY Software has become a Certified Solution Partner within the SOLIDWORKS Solution Partner Program. This status confirms that the ENCY CAD/CAM system is complementary and compatible with the SOLIDWORKS portfolio, and that its effectiveness has been validated by SOLIDWORKS customers. Why it matters for ENCY customersFor engineering teams, reliability at the CAD-to-manufacturing handoff is critical. It impacts lead time. It also affects manufacturing cost. The SOLIDWORKS “Certified” badge reflects alignment with SOLIDWORKS expectations for compatibility and integration. In practical terms, it supports a more predictable workflow for SOLIDWORKS-based teams — especially when models change and downstream processes must remain synchronized. Why it matters for SOLIDWORKS usersIf you design in SOLIDWORKS, the next bottleneck is often not CAD. It is manufacturing programming. ENCY is a single solution for CNC programming and robot programming. This is important for shops running mixed production, where machining and robotics are part of one process chain. ENCY is a CAM product built around a modern
