Setting a new DMS standard: Tekion’s groundbreaking ISO certifications

In today’s Software as a Service (SaaS) environment, where cloud storage is the norm, concerns about data security and privacy have become more prominent. Safeguarding sensitive information is crucial, and Tekion takes this responsibility seriously. We take pride in our transparency regarding our security compliance and provide all relevant information on our Trust Portal.

Taking that vision to the next level, we’re excited to announce that we recently obtained International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and 27701 certifications for our Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) and Automotive Enterprise Cloud (AEC) platforms. We’re proud to be the only leading DMS provider awarded these certifications. The ISO introduced the 27001 and ISO 27701 frameworks, providing a cybersecurity and privacy foundation for businesses. One key way we prioritize data protection is by implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) following ISO 27001 and a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) based on ISO 27701 standards.

At Tekion, our main goal is to keep our customers' and users' data safe. We've invested in the right resources and controls to ensure top-notch protection and service. Our focus revolves around creating and enhancing controls, managing the Tekion security framework, and providing a robust support system for effective compliance and risk management.

Tekion's framework is built on the ISMS and PIMS. This framework enables everyone to follow policies consistently and impartially. We've implemented procedures and controls at all levels to protect information confidentiality and integrity, ensuring that access is granted only to authorized individuals when needed.

Simply put, ISMS and PIMS are frameworks that include policies and procedures for managing organizational information risks, covering legal, physical, and technical controls, as well as data privacy. Tekion is fully committed to upholding data subjects' rights under applicable data protection laws and ensuring the careful handling of their personal data. Your data's safety is our priority.
