PROTECTING INFORMATION TO HELP PROTECT LIVES
How Flir's commitment to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification safeguards the data, systems, and trust that frontline agencies depend on
Keeping people safe requires more than advanced sensors and intelligent imaging—it demands trust. For law enforcement officers and marine agencies operating in high-risk environments, trust in the technology they rely on extends beyond what they see on a screen. It includes confidence that sensitive data, operational intelligence, and system access are protected at every level.
That is one of the many reasons why Flir achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the globally recognized standard for information security management. This certification reflects Flir’s commitment to safeguarding information throughout the design, development, manufacture, and support of sensing technologies used across public safety, security, and critical infrastructure operations.
Why Information Security Matters in Public Safety Operations
Modern law enforcement and maritime missions are increasingly data-driven. Thermal cameras, unmanned systems, and networked sensors generate and process critical information, often in real time and in environments where failure is not an option.
Whether coordinating a nighttime search-and-rescue operation at sea, monitoring remote shorelines, or supporting emergency response during severe weather, agencies must be confident that:
- Operational data remains confidential
- Systems continue to function reliably under pressure
- Information remains accurate and available when it matters most
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a structured, proactive framework to manage these risks. By aligning its operations to this standard, Flir reinforces its role as a trusted technology partner for agencies tasked with protecting lives and communities worldwide.

What ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification Means
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international benchmark for information security management systems (ISMS). The 2022 revision reflects today's evolving threat landscape, placing greater emphasis on risk-based thinking, resilience, and continuous improvement.
Flir's certification—verified by Intertek, a UKAS-accredited certification body—confirms that the company has established systems to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information across its global operations.
This includes activities spanning the design and development of thermal imaging and sensing systems, manufacturing, production, and sales, as well as after-market services such as training and support.
Importantly, the certification applies across multiple Flir sites worldwide, ensuring consistent security practices regardless of where products are developed, produced, or supported.
Supporting Mission-Critical Use Cases
For public safety and maritime agencies, information security directly impacts mission readiness.
A secure information foundation helps ensure that sensitive investigative data is protected from unauthorized access. It also ensures systems remain resilient against cyber disruptions so operations can continue during emergencies.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 enables Flir to identify potential security risks and weaknesses, manage risk, and strengthen defenses against evolving cyber threats. This proactive approach supports reliable deployment in environments where downtime, data loss, or compromised systems could put people at risk.
By embedding information security into its global operations, Flir helps agencies focus on what matters most: protecting lives, safeguarding assets, and responding effectively when every second counts.
Security You Can Trust—Technology You Can Rely On
At Flir, innovation is not just about advancing sensor technology: it is about building systems that public safety professionals can trust in the real world. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification reinforces that commitment, demonstrating that information security is treated with the same seriousness as performance, reliability, and safety.
By protecting information throughout the lifecycle of its technologies, Flir supports the people who rely on thermal imaging and intelligent sensing to keep communities safe—on land, at sea, and everywhere in between.
WHAT IS ISO/IEC 27001 AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
- Information is protected from unauthorized access
- Systems are designed to remain reliable and resilient
- Risks are continually identified and addressed not just once, but over time
