Mentana-Claimsoft AG receives ISO certification for its De-Mail
infrastructure
FP subsidiary is the first future De-Mail provider to receive confirmation
of the security of the information domain from the Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) - Milestone en route to accreditation.
Birkenwerder/Bonn, 20 December 2011 - Mentana-Claimsoft AG, a subsidiary of
Francotyp-Postalia (FP), is the first future De-Mail provider to receive
ISO 27001 certification on the basis of IT-Grundschutz (IT baseline
protection) from the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The
certificate, which Mentana board member Axel Janhoff received at the BSI in
Bonn on Friday, confirms the security of Mentana-Claimsoft AG's De-Mail
infrastructure.
The 'ISO 27001 certificate on the basis of IT-Grundschutz' is a crucial
milestone en route to accreditation as a De-Mail provider. It certifies the
successful conclusion of an extensive audit, which Mentana-Claimsoft AG has
undergone in recent months. 'The so-called security of the information
domain was examined', explains Friedrich Hembach from the BSI. 'That starts
with the technical infrastructure and ends with the measures to protect
against fire in the computer centre. The question of whether responsible
persons have been defined for specific tasks - and whether these report
directly to the executive management in order to have rapid access to the
decision-makers in cases of doubt - also plays a key role.' The audit was
carried out by auditors certified by the BSI. The time-consuming process
usually takes several months. 'Obtaining certification has placed
considerable demands on us in recent weeks', explains Janhoff. 'We have
documented vast quantities of existing technology and processes, provided
evidence and answered questions - this naturally makes the fact that we now
have the certificate even more gratifying.'
Three certificates are required in total to obtain accreditation as a
De-Mail provider from the BSI. Evidence has already been provided for the
area of information security as part of the ISO 27001 certification on the
basis of IT-Grundschutz. A data protection certificate (as defined in
article 18 (3) No. 4 of the De-Mail Act), which is issued by the Federal
Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI), is also
required. And there is a function and operability test, for which, if
passed successfully, the BSI issues a certificate. 'We assume that our
subsidiary, Mentana-Claimsoft, will soon have all the requisite evidence
and will receive accreditation as a De-Mail provider correspondingly
rapidly. We will finally be able to start the service at the beginning of
2012', explains Andreas Drechsler, CSO of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG.
De-Mail increases the level of security when exchanging documents
electronically. It is a legally binding and secure communication
infrastructure by which digital letters can be sent with special legal
effect in Germany. The De-Mail Act provides the legal basis for this.
De-Mail is of particular interest to senders who otherwise send documents
in physical format, such as authorities and companies. Reminders, invoices,
delivery notes, confirmations of orders, notifications, personal data or
registered post with advice of receipt are examples of important mail that
can be delivered completely electronically and in a legally binding manner
by De-Mail in future.
Further information on the ISO 27001 certification process can be found in
the press area of the BSI website at www.bsi.bund.de.
