Crimppi has been awarded ISO 27001 certification for its information security management system. The certification supports a structured approach to information security and strengthens trust among customers and partners.
Information security has been a growing focus across industries in recent years, as digitalisation, complex supply chains and increasing data flows place higher demands on how information is handled.
A strategic decision based on long-term needs
At the beginning of 2025, ISO 27001 was defined as a part of Crimppi’s five-year strategy. The goal was to create more systematic ways of working and to ensure that information security is handled consistently across the organisation.
“We chose to start early, so we could develop our information security on our own terms rather than under pressure,” says Toni Vuorenmaa, IT Manager at Crimppi.
The company expects information security requirements to increase over time, particularly in customer projects and supplier evaluations.
From risk assessment to certification
The ISO 27001 work started with a broad risk assessment, mapping potential information security risks across the organisation. These ranged from access management and data handling to everyday practices, such as how devices are used and how information is stored.
“Information security is not just about external threats. Everyday routines and awareness among employees play a major role,” Vuorenmaa explains.
The certification process was driven by a small core team, with active involvement from management. A pre-audit was carried out in October, followed by the final certification audit in December. The external audit confirmed both the scope of the work and the company’s readiness for certification.
Shared responsibility across the organisation
A key part of ISO 27001 is continuous improvement. New guidelines and procedures were introduced during the process and taken into use immediately.
“The standard requires that everyone understands their role. Each employee has a responsibility to report observations and potential risks,” says Vuorenmaa.
Information security is discussed regularly, for example in monthly meetings, and training is provided on an ongoing basis. The new ways of working have been received positively. Employees understand why information security matters, and awareness has increased. Smaller observations have already been reported, a sign that people are paying attention.
Extending ISO 27001 across all sites
The ISO 27001 certification currently applies to Crimppi’s Vaasa factory. Work has already started to extend the same certification to all subsidiaries during the coming year, with the aim of creating unified information security practices across all sites.
“Consistency is important. We want the same ways of working and the same level of information security across all our sites,” Vuorenmaa notes.
For customers and partners, the certification demonstrates that information is handled responsibly and consistently – and that information security is treated as an ongoing part of daily work, not just a formal requirement.
