In November, Avatier Corporation, an industry leader in identity and access management, announced it had received ISO 27001:2013 certification for its Information Security Management System. ISO 27001:2013 is an information security standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the world's largest developer of voluntary international standards, and the International Electrotechnical Commission. Avatier's certification was issued by A-LIGN, an independent and accredited certification body based in the United States, after the successful completion of a formal audit process. This certification is evidence that Avatier has met rigorous international standards in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Avatier Identity Anywhere platform.

Avatier develops identity management and governance platforms that enable organizations to scale faster, innovate more quickly, and embrace change more securely. Avatier's identity access management (IAM) and identity governance and administration solutions do not require client software, allowing real-time  management across any platform, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Teams, iOS, and Android.

"This certification demonstrates Avatier's continued commitment to information security at every level and ensures our customers that the security of their data and information has been addressed, implemented, and properly controlled in all areas of their organization," according to Jeremy Russeau, Avatier’s Chief Information Security Officer.

In April of this year, the corporation celebrated its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1997 by Nelson Cicchitto, the company moved its headquarters to Hacienda in June 2015. Avatier pioneered the market's first delegated administration solution for Windows NT. Since then, it has developed several enterprise security innovations. They include the first patented Identity Access IT Store with automatic workflow and the only access management integrated ITIL-based business services catalog. ITIL was formerly known as The Information Technology Infrastructure Library.

Over the past 25 years, Avatier has signed hundreds of customers in various industries, including healthcare, financial services, education, consumer goods, manufacturing, technology, hospitality, media, energy, and the government and military. The company's current product offering spans password management, single sign-on, lifecycle management, and access governance. Marquee customers include Build-a-Bear, Cox, Cosmo, CVS Health, DriveTime, Fox News, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Legal Shield, Lockheed Martin, Nordstrom, Ochsner Health System, Rust-Oleum Corporation, San Diego Padres, Stanley Black & Decker, Volkswagen Group UK, and Welch Foods Inc.

"We are proud of our leadership in identity management and security over the past 25 years," according to Cicchitto, Chairman and CEO. "We have always been committed to promoting enterprise applications and assets security through better identity management. Avatier also continues to lead the market with innovative solutions to meet any organizations' immediate needs. For example, our current IAM platform is ideal for today's growing remote workforce."

Avatier has developed an Identity as a Container (IDaaC) framework to power the Avatier Identity Anywhere platform in recent years. By using Docker container technology, Avatier can deploy IAM support for cloud solution providers, delivering maximum security and flexibility with greater control over user identities and a lower cost of ownership. Thanks to the portability of Docker containers, Identity Anywhere now provides a common user experience from within various collaboration platforms, including ServiceNow, Microsoft Teams, Google Chrome, iOS, Android, and Slack, to name a few.
