The London Internet Exchange (LINX) has retained its certification for the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining world-class operational and information security practices.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022, commonly referred to as ISO 27001, sets the globally recognized framework for establishing and improving an information security management system (ISMS). The certification reflects compliance with rigorous international requirements for safeguarding data, managing cybersecurity risks, and ensuring operational resilience.
LINX first earned the ISO 27001 certification in September 2021 and achieved its first recertification in October 2024. The latest continuation marks the organization’s sustained adherence to the highest levels of information and operational security.
Daniel Smith, Cybersecurity Policy Manager at LINX, said, “Achieving continued ISO 27001 certification is a significant accomplishment that really underscores our ongoing commitment and vigilance in maintaining robust security practices and operational excellence.
“For LINX, this achievement reflects the dedication of our engineering teams and the wider organisation to safeguarding sensitive information, ensuring resilience, and continuously evolving our practices in line with global best standards. Most importantly, it reinforces our responsibility to our members and stakeholders, demonstrating that their trust is well placed and that we remain focused on protecting their interests at every level.”
The certification followed a rigorous audit by the British Standards Institution (BSI), an accredited certification body, which verified LINX’s compliance with ISO 27001:2022 across all operational divisions. The successful audit underscores LINX’s ability to identify, manage, and mitigate security risks effectively, bolstering the reliability of its services amid growing digital interconnectivity.
Industry experts note that failing to implement an effective ISMS can expose organizations to significant financial and reputational risks. As data volumes surge and cyber threats intensify, ISO 27001 has become central to modern governance, risk, and compliance strategies, helping organizations strengthen IT governance, safeguard information assets, and build stakeholder confidence.
By maintaining this certification, LINX reinforces its leadership in the global telecom and internet infrastructure space, ensuring continued trust and resilience in the digital economy.
