The ISMS is a holistic approach that encompasses a framework of policies and procedures to ensure the safety of information assets pertaining to small, medium and large enterprises. The security standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an information security management system specifically designed per the requirements of the organization.

This important certification reflects Comtech’s ability to manage its business effectively as well as ensure that customer needs are thoroughly understood and fulfilled. The company provides access to the best information security practices to its subscribers. Remarkably, the latest endeavor is likely to enhance Comtech’s resilient business model with best-in-class public safety communications infrastructure globally.
