We are proud to announce that Cohesion has achieved ISO 27001 certification, the globally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data across our platform, products, and services.

A Commitment to Excellence in Information Security

ISO/IEC 27001 is the gold standard for information security, requiring organizations to implement rigorous security controls, risk management strategies, and continuous monitoring to safeguard sensitive information across the smart building platform. This certification validates Cohesion's systematic approach to securing data, ensuring compliance with global best practices, and reinforcing the trust of building owners, operators, and tenants.

"As smart buildings become more connected, security and data privacy are paramount," said CEO and founder Thru Shivakumar. "Achieving ISO 27001 certification reflects our continued commitment to providing a secure and resilient platform that empowers our customers to manage their buildings with confidence."

Enhancing Security for Smart Buildings

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the intersection of PropTech and cybersecurity has never been more critical. Cohesion's smart building platform integrates advanced technology solutions to optimize smart building management and operations, automate workflows, and improve tenant experiences. With the growing adoption of IoT devices, cloud-based analytics, and AI-driven automation, securing building data is more critical than ever.

Comprehensive Security Framework

The ISO 27001 certification ensures that Cohesion's customers benefit from:

Integrating Security into Every Layer of Smart Building Operations

Cohesion’s ISO 27001 certification also highlights our integrated approach to securing every aspect of smart building operations. As smart buildings become more reliant on interconnected systems and real-time data, the security of both physical and digital infrastructure is crucial. 

Our platform’s ability to securely handle sensitive building operations data—from energy management to tenant communications—ensures that our customers can operate with peace of mind. By embedding security measures across all layers of our smart building platform, we deliver not just compliance, but also the reliability and resilience that are essential in today’s fast-evolving smart building environments.

The ISO 27001 certification joins our previous milestones, SOC 2, WiredScore Accredited Solution, and UL's Smart System Verified Platinum designation.
