Verifying Investment in Top-Tier Information Security: Versa Enhances Security and Privacy Measures with New and Updated Industry Certifications

Versa Networks Achieves ISO/IEC 27001 Recertification and Expanded Security Certifications

Versa Networks, a prominent player in unified networking and security, has recently announced its successful recertification for ISO/IEC 27001, which comes with enhanced cloud-specific security features that align with ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 standards. These achievements underscore Versa’s relentless commitment to promoting the highest levels of security and privacy for customer data while ensuring operational consistency in meeting international benchmarks.

Enhancements in Security Standards

The incorporation of ISO/IEC 27017 and 27018 into Versa’s security framework signifies a notable improvement in its information security management systems (ISMS). ISO/IEC 27017 offers directives for crafting security controls that are specific to cloud environments, ultimately benefiting both Versa and its clientele through strengthened cloud security measures. Meanwhile, ISO/IEC 27018 zeroes in on protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud services, showcasing Versa’s dedication to privacy and data protection.

Implementation of Best Practices

The successful recertification through a rigorous surveillance audit attests to Versa’s systematic handling of sensitive data. It reflects robust protocols in risk management, data protection, and governance. These efforts support the secure delivery of services, notably through the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform. This certification illustrates that Versa adheres to the best practices and principles outlined in the globally recognized ISO 27001 framework, reinforcing the organization’s reliability in information security management.

Sunil Ravi, Chief Security Architect at Versa, remarked, “The additional controls aligned to ISO 27017 and 27018 and the successful audits across several important certifications show our ongoing commitment to the highest information security management standards.” This feedback emphasizes the growing trust customers can place in Versa as they advance with their industry-leading platform.

SOC 2 and HIPAA Compliance

Versa has not only achieved renewed ISO 27001 certification but has also secured SOC 2 Type 2 recertification. This designation reflects comprehensive audits by independent firms, assessing Versa’s internal controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Additionally, Versa has reaffirmed its compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This compliance shows that the organization has implemented appropriate safeguards to secure the privacy of individuals’ protected health information (PHI), a fundamental requirement for the healthcare sector.

Comprehensive Security Certification Program

Versa’s commitment to security extends beyond basic certifications. The company continually invests in obtaining vital security certifications that cater to enterprises, governmental bodies, and service providers reliant on critical infrastructure. Along with ISO/IEC certifications, Versa has achieved various notable accreditations, including:

• FIPS 140-2: Assurance of complete end-to-end security with validated cryptography.
• PCI DSS Compliance: Meeting standards necessary for organizations handling payment and credit card data.
• Common Criteria EAL4+: Achieved by the Versa Operating System (VOS), indicative of top-notch security testing standards.
