*IXON is dedicated to making our products secure enough for even the strictest production environments. As a key part of this commitment, we’re proud to announce that our team has officially received the IEC 62443-4-1 certificate: a formal, independent validation of how we build security into our products from start to finish.*

Update 29-01-2026: IXON's SecureEdge Pro is now also officially IEC 62443-4-2 certified.

## What does this actually mean?

The IEC 62443-4-1 standard is unique because it doesn't look at a finished product in isolation. Instead, it audits the entire **Secure Product Development Lifecycle**. Independent auditors from the certification body [Bureau Veritas](https://cybersecurity.bureauveritas.com/), reviewed our internal processes for everything from initial design and threat modeling to our security testing and how we manage updates.

The audit confirmed our processes meet **Maturity Level 2 (ML2)**. In practical terms, this means we have a managed and repeatable process in place, ensuring that consistent security practices are applied to every product we develop.

## Key benefits for customers and partners

This certification provides two key benefits:

- **Verified trust  
  **You don't just have to take our word for our security practices. Now, you have proof from an accredited, international body that our processes meet a high standard.
- **Simplified compliance  
  **When you conduct your own risk assessments for NIS2 or undergo audits like ISO 27001, this certificate serves as formal evidence that you are integrating components from a supplier with a certified secure development process. It makes your job easier to show that the solution meets the highest standards.

This certification is the foundation of our security strategy. About 6 months later, our hardware also got IEC 62443-4-2 certified.
