Opengear, a Digi International company and a pioneering provider of secure and Smart Out of Band™ management solutions, announced now that it has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
This milestone strengthens the security foundation of the independent management plane, which enterprises and service providers rely on to maintain network access during outages and other critical events.
Streamline compliance and procurement processes
As cyberattacks increase and infrastructure becomes more distributed, organisations are placing greater scrutiny on the vendors that support their most sensitive environments. By achieving both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, Opengear meets independently verified global standards for security, availability, and confidentiality, positioning the company among a select group of infrastructure management providers with this level of certification.
For customers, these certifications deliver immediate value. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reduce vendor risk, streamline compliance and procurement processes, and provide assurance that Opengear applies strong and audited security controls across its entire organisation to support customer audits, regulatory requirements, and internal risk management programs.
Opengear’s security practices
During the audits, independent assessors evaluated Opengear’s security practices across key operational areas, including access governance, data protection, system monitoring, risk management, and third-party vendor oversight.
The certifications confirm that Opengear maintains consistent and systematic security processes that protect sensitive information throughout engineering, firmware development, internal systems, and enterprise operations.
“These certifications affirm that security is embedded into every part of how Opengear operates,” said Patrick Quirk, President of Opengear. “It is not only our products and hardware that meet these standards. Our processes, our systems, and the way we run the business every day reflect a deep commitment to protecting customer environments.”
Reliable access to critical network equipment
Organizations operating in regulated industries or managing highly distributed infrastructure can rely on Opengear to provide secure, reliable access to critical network equipment when the production network is unavailable.
Achieving SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reinforces Opengear’s role as the trusted independent management plane for remote recovery, planned maintenance, and rapid incident response.
Digi’s SOC 2 Type 2 attestation announcement
This achievement reflects Opengear’s ongoing investment in security governance, continuous monitoring, and improvement to meet evolving customer and regulatory requirements.
Following closely on the heels of Digi’s SOC 2 Type 2 attestation announcement for Digi Remote Manager® and Genesis®, as well as the SmartSense by Digi announcement that it has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 certification, this achievement also supports Digi International’s broader security strategy and strengthens the foundation for future certifications and ongoing operational excellence.
