Opengear, a part of Digi International and a pioneer in secure management solutions, has successfully secured SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
This achievement bolsters the security structure of Opengear's independent management plane, crucial for enterprises and service providers to sustain network access during critical interruptions.
Adapting to rising cybersecurity requirements
As cyber threats grow and infrastructures become more complex, organisations demand greater security assurance from their vendors, particularly those managing sensitive environments.
By acquiring SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, Opengear meets strict global security, availability, and confidentiality standards. This places the company within a select group of infrastructure management providers possessing such certifications.
Benefits of SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Moreover, these credentials demonstrate that Opengear enforces robust and independently-audited security measures, supporting customer audits, adhering to regulatory expectations, and assisting in effective risk management strategies.
In-depth evaluation of security practices
Independent audit teams assessed Opengear’s security protocols across several critical areas, including access governance, data protection, system monitoring, risk management, and oversight of third-party vendors.
This comprehensive review validates Opengear's steadfast commitment to maintaining rigorous security measures to protect sensitive data throughout its engineering, firmware development, and enterprise operations.
Commitment to security
"These certifications affirm that security is embedded into every part of how Opengear operates," stated Patrick Quirk, President of Opengear.
He adds, "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."
Ensuring reliable network access

For enterprises in regulated sectors or those managing expansive infrastructures, Opengear offers dependable access to essential network equipment, even when the primary network is down.
Achieving SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance underscores Opengear’s position as a reliable independent management plane for remote recovery, maintenance, and swift incident management.
Alignment with broader security initiatives
Securing these certifications highlights Opengear's ongoing efforts in advancing security governance and adapting to changing customer and regulatory prerequisites. This comes shortly after Digi announced SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for its Remote Manager® and Genesis® and the SmartSense by Digi certification.
These alignments support Digi International’s extensive security strategy, laying the groundwork for further certifications and sustaining operational excellence.
