The Company
Founded in 2017 in Regensburg, Consolinno Energy has established itself as an innovative GreenTech company in the energy sector. With a team of approximately 70 employees at two locations, Consolinno develops efficient energy solutions using cutting-edge technologies such as AI, IoT, cloud, and edge computing. The company aims to actively contribute to the energy transition and climate protection. Consolinno offers a wide range of products and services, including its in-house IoT gateway "Leaflet," energy management systems for households and industry, as well as specialized solutions for charging and load management, system monitoring, and billing systems.
Challenge
To strengthen its position as a trusted partner, Consolinno Energy decided to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) according to ISO/IEC 27001. In doing so, the company faced the following challenges:
• Integration of an Existing QM System: The existing Quality Management System (QM) according to ISO 9001 had to be harmonized with the requirements of the ISMS to avoid duplication of work.
• Comprehensive View of Data Protection and Information Security: Data protection and information security needed to be integrated into a central system to enable a unified and efficient compliance strategy.
Solution
Due to successful collaboration in data protection, Consolinno Energy chose SECJUR's automation platform, including expert support, to implement the ISMS according to ISO/IEC 27001.
• Holistic Approach to Information Security and Data Protection: The SECJUR platform combined data protection and information security into one central system. The integrated data protection module not only covered GDPR requirements but also provided features for easily managing sensitive data.
• Flexible Integration of ISO 9001: During the setup of the documentation required for ISO/IEC 27001, overlaps with ISO 9001 were consolidated to maintain a single source of truth and ensure maximum clarity.
• Expert Support at Eye Level: SECJUR experts supported Consolinno Energy in building and implementing the ISMS, including in ITSM (IT Service Management).
Result
With the SECJUR platform, Consolinno Energy was able to establish a future-proof ISMS and achieve ISO/IEC 27001 certification. The ISMS is seamlessly integrated into the existing data protection and quality management systems to enable a holistic compliance strategy.
The new processes, the integration of data protection functions, and the extensive training as part of the platform ensured that Consolinno Energy met the highest security and data protection standards—without losing focus on its growth strategy.
