LabArchives Reaffirms ISO 27001:2022 Certification as Part of Dotmatics’ Unified Commitment to Information Security Excellence

LabArchives maintains ISO 27001:2022 certification under the Dotmatics Group, validating robust, independently-audited information security practices across research data management and cloud-based scientific workflows.

Introduction: Strengthening Trust Through Proven Security Standards

LabArchives is proud to announce the successful renewal of our ISO 27001:2022 certification, following a comprehensive external audit conducted by Schellman, an independent accredited certification body. This achievement not only reaffirms LabArchives’ dedication to information security management but also represents our continued alignment within the Dotmatics Group’s collective ISO 27001 certification—a unified standard across all Dotmatics platforms committed to protecting customer data with the highest level of rigor.

About the ISO 27001:2022 Standard

The ISO 27001:2022 standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is the world’s most recognized framework for establishing, implementing, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

To achieve certification, an organization must demonstrate a systematic and ongoing approach to identifying, managing, and mitigating information security risks that could affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.

The 2022 revision of the standard emphasizes:

  • Continuous measurement and evaluation of information security performance
  • Integration of security management into business processes
  • Enhanced focus on risk treatment, monitoring, and continual improvement

The LabArchives ISO 27001:2022 Audit

As part of this certification process, Schellman conducted an extensive external audit of LabArchives’ Information Security Management System (ISMS), covering our Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) operations and support, software development, and cloud hosting infrastructure.

The assessment verified that LabArchives:

  • Meets or exceeds ISO 27001:2022 requirements in all evaluated areas
  • Has robust controls in place to protect sensitive information assets
  • Actively monitors and manages these controls for effectiveness and compliance

The auditor’s conclusion confirmed that LabArchives maintains a mature, well-implemented ISMS that protects company and customer information against potential risks.

A Unified Certification Across the Dotmatics Group

This certification also reinforces our place within the broader Dotmatics Group ISO 27001:2022 certification, ensuring a consistent and cohesive security posture across all connected solutions within the Dotmatics portfolio.

By operating under a shared certification framework, the Dotmatics Group and LabArchives as part of it, provides customers with:

  • Unified security standards across all products and services
  • Centralized oversight and governance of information security controls
  • Enhanced assurance that their research data is protected under one globally recognized standard

This alignment strengthens the trust and interoperability that researchers, educators, and enterprises expect when using Dotmatics’ integrated scientific data management and analysis platforms.

Why This Matters for Our Users

For researchers and institutions worldwide, continued ISO 27001:2022 certification translates directly into peace of mind.

It means LabArchives continues to operate with the highest standards of data protection, ensuring:

  • Confidentiality of sensitive research data
  • Integrity of research records and collaboration tools
  • Availability of secure, cloud-hosted environments that power scientific innovation

By maintaining this certification year after year, LabArchives reinforces its position as a trusted, compliant, and forward-looking research data management platform.

Looking Ahead: Continuous Improvement and Transparency

Information security is not a one-time achievement and it’s an ongoing commitment. LabArchives and the Dotmatics Group remain dedicated to continual improvement, regularly reviewing and updating our ISMS controls to address emerging threats and evolving industry standards.

As the landscape of research and technology evolves, our goal remains the same: to provide a secure, reliable, and transparent platform that enables science to move forward with confidence.
