Successfully recertified according to ISO 27001:2022

Good news: We have successfully passed our ISO 27001:2022 recertification .

For us, this is much more than just formal proof. The certification demonstrates that information security is not just important to us on paper, but is truly practiced in everyday life; with clear processes, binding standards, and the commitment to reliably protect sensitive information.

For you, this means one thing above all: you can rely on information security having a firm place in everything we do, and on us approaching this topic in a structured, responsible, and up-to-date way.

We are very happy about this successful recertification, and at the same time, we see it as motivation to keep developing our standards in the future.

We would be delighted to welcome you personally at the next SPS!

ACC INSIGHTS – Get more out of your ACC

In our ACC INSIGHTS section, we regularly share short insights into the world of the Alarm Control Center. Through compact videos and practical examples, we provide tips and tricks, present selected features, and highlight components that are often overlooked in day-to-day use - but offer great potential.

ACC Alarmboard

In this issue, we take a closer look at the ACC Alarmboard. This option allows alarms to be triggered manually in the ACC – either with predefined settings or flexibly at the moment. This is particularly helpful where faults are not automatically detected by sensors, but where a quick manual alert is required.

The benefit:Alarm-related parameters such as alarm groups, call profiles, and acknowledgement profiles can be set up in advance, but they do not have to be. This makes it possible to trigger alarms quickly, precisely, and in a way that fits the situation.

In the video, we show how the ACC Alarmboard works and in which scenarios it is particularly useful.

ACC V23 will be discontinued on November 30, 2026.

As of November 30, 2026 ACC Version V23 will officially be discontinued. From that date onward, no further extensions will be available, and technical support will also end.

Are you still using ACC V23?
We recommend upgrading to a current version as early as possible. Our sales team will be happy to advise you on available upgrade options:
