PRINTITRESELLER.UK 43 VOX POP continued... We believe that achieving and maintaining security standards and certifications are essential to our position as a technology leader and partner. We demonstrate to our clients, who we also provide cyber security services to, that we are dedicated to the highest levels of security and protecting their data to an internationally recognised standard patch a bug fix. We have a dedicated site and channels for communicating security advisories of any vulnerabilities and appropriate remedies to the wider user base. To better protect the integrity of our device, Lexmark is leaning more into sourcing original components in-house, starting with the recently launched 9-Series line of A3 enterprise printers. This is all part of the company’s grander secure by design approach to ensure the utmost security for every device we produce. PrintIT Reseller: What security standards e.g. ISO/ IEC 27001 have you achieved? Do you see independent validation of your company’s commitment to security as a key differentiator? Matt Hayman: Kyocera supports all our customers in tackling cyber and data security risks by supplying products and services that incorporate the highest standards of data security. Assessed and certified to the ISO/IEC 27001 security standard, Kyocera’s products’ (printers, MFPs, document solutions and ICT services) support and aftersales services all operate above and beyond to keep customers’ data safe. Kyocera Document Solutions UK has been assessed under the Cyber Essentials framework, evaluating the fundamental skills and security controls we have in place within our IT department and IT systems. Certified to Cyber Essential Plus, the highest level of certification, to give our partners the confidence that we are addressing cyber security effectively and the peace of mind that we have the fundamental skills and ability to respond to any threat. More than this, Kyocera instructed Keypoint Intelligence to test the security features on our products. Equipped with a Kyocera TASKalfa 3554ci, this company employed certified security experts to use a combination of automated tools and manual exploitation attempts to probe for potential vulnerabilities in the device firmware/OS, ports, print protocols, embedded web page, connectivity avenues, and more. They were unable to penetrate the device and access the customer network. So impressed were these ethical hackers that the device earned the BLI Security Validation, Device Penetration award, confirming Kyocera’s security credentials. We call this level of security K-Level security, and it is not only being implemented across Kyocera’s range of business focussed TASKalfa MFPs but also implemented on its range of ECOSYS consumer products. Kyocera’s products are certified under IEEE 2600.1, an international security standard for hard copy devices enacted in 2009. Additionally, some Kyocera device models offer a FIPS 140-2 certified hard drive for sensitive data protection. Kyocera adheres to various other security standards, including ISO/IEC 27001 information security management system, ISO/IEC 27017 cloud security, Common Criteria (ISO/IEC15408) evaluation of security properties, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. At Kyocera we take data security very seriously and not only carry out internal testing but encourage independent external testing to give confidence to all our customers, large and small. We see this as a key differentiator for the company and proof of our commitment. Customers can see we have the products, staff and testing regimes in place to keep their data safe whichever Kyocera product or service they take. Sarah Mackay: UTAX achieved Cyber Essentials Plus which is valid until April 2025. This accreditation is issued by IASME Cyber Assurance standard, which is a comprehensive, flexible and affordable cyber security standard. It provides assurance that UTAX has put into place a range of important cyber security, privacy and data protection measures. As their website states: the IASME Cyber Assurance standard was developed over several years during a government funded project to create a cyber security standard which would be an affordable and achievable alternative to other international standards. Julian Hodges: Sharp UK has achieved both Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001. The ISO 27001 standard is certified by an independent UKAS accredited partner each year. We believe that achieving and maintaining security standards and certifications are essential to our position as a technology leader and partner.
