Yaskawa America Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification for Information Security Management!
Yaskawa America Inc., a leading manufacturer of industrial robots, motion control systems, and machine controllers, has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, reinforcing its commitment to safeguarding customer information and maintaining the highest standards of information security across its operations. The internationally recognised certification demonstrates the company’s dedication to implementing robust cybersecurity practices, managing information security risks, and continuously improving its systems to protect sensitive business and customer data.
Headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, Yaskawa America is a trusted provider of advanced automation technologies serving manufacturers across a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, food and beverage, packaging, logistics, medical devices, and general industrial manufacturing. As factories become increasingly connected through digitalisation, Industry 4.0 technologies, and cloud-based manufacturing systems, the protection of operational and customer data has become a critical priority for automation providers worldwide.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard is the globally recognised benchmark for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides organisations with a structured framework for identifying potential security threats, assessing business risks, implementing effective controls, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets. Achieving certification demonstrates that an organisation has adopted internationally accepted best practices for information security and operates under a systematic approach to managing cyber risks.
Yaskawa America’s certification was awarded following an extensive independent third-party audit, during which external assessors evaluated the company’s information security management practices across multiple areas of the organisation. The assessment examined technology infrastructure, operational procedures, governance frameworks, risk management processes, employee awareness, and organisational controls to verify compliance with the rigorous requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard.
By successfully completing the certification process, Yaskawa America has demonstrated that its information security systems are designed to identify potential vulnerabilities, mitigate cybersecurity risks, and continuously adapt to emerging digital threats. The certification also confirms that the company has implemented structured processes to protect confidential customer information while ensuring resilience against evolving cyber challenges.
As manufacturing continues its digital transformation, cybersecurity has become an essential component of industrial operations. Modern production environments rely heavily on connected robots, intelligent machine controllers, industrial networks, and data-driven automation systems that exchange large volumes of operational and business-critical information. While these technologies significantly improve productivity, flexibility, and operational visibility, they also increase the importance of maintaining secure digital infrastructure capable of defending against cyberattacks and unauthorised access.
For manufacturers selecting automation partners, internationally recognised security certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 provide additional confidence that critical operational data and intellectual property will be managed according to globally accepted security standards. Increasingly, customers expect suppliers not only to deliver innovative automation technologies but also to demonstrate robust governance over information security, privacy, and risk management.
The certification reflects Yaskawa America’s broader commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement. By adopting internationally recognised information security management practices, the company strengthens its ability to protect customer relationships, support secure digital manufacturing environments, and meet the evolving cybersecurity expectations of global industrial markets.
Information security has become particularly important as manufacturers expand the use of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, artificial intelligence, and cloud-connected production systems. Protecting these interconnected ecosystems requires comprehensive security strategies that integrate technology, processes, employee awareness, and ongoing risk assessment. ISO/IEC 27001 provides the framework for achieving this integrated approach while ensuring continuous evaluation and improvement.
Yaskawa America’s achievement of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification reinforces its position as a trusted automation partner for manufacturers embracing smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 initiatives. By combining advanced robotics and motion control expertise with internationally recognised information security management practices, the company is helping customers deploy connected automation technologies with greater confidence and resilience.
As cyber threats continue to evolve alongside advances in industrial automation, Yaskawa America’s investment in certified information security management demonstrates its long-term commitment to protecting customer information, strengthening operational integrity, and supporting the secure adoption of next-generation manufacturing technologies across global industries.
