CAD Rooms, the cloud PDM and engineering collaboration platform for hardware and engineering teams, has attained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, meeting the current international standard for information security management.
Described as a collaborative layer on top of a users existing CAD and workflow tools, CAD Rooms supports over 30 file formats including Dassault Systèmes Solidworks and Catia, Autodesk AutoCAD, Rhino, and open standards like STEP and STL. It creates a ‘single source of truth’ where engineers using Solidworks, electrical engineers using Altium, project managers working in spreadsheets, and team communication, can collaborate around the same product data.
The software can connect diagrams, bill of materials, CAD models, purchase lists, task trackers, and communication channels, delivering information where and when relevant.
The latest announcement supports CAD Rooms’ positioning for potential enterprise and regulated-sector customers, including teams in aerospace, space, automotive and clean energy. Incorporated in Denmark, the company offers EU-hosted infrastructure, a combination that is increasingly relevant for European engineering organisations with data residency requirements.
“Security is consistently the first question we get from engineering teams evaluating cloud PDM,” explained CAD Rooms CEO Christina Rebel. “ISO 27001:2022 gives them an independent answer, one that doesn’t ask them to take our word for it.
“The certification covers exactly what our customers use: the collaboration environment, the data management, the workflows. Not a tick-box exercise.”
The certification, awarded by TNV System Certification Pvt. Ltd. and accredited by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), covers the full scope of the CAD Rooms platform – cloud-based CAD collaboration, data management and engineering workflows.
ISO 27001:2022 is the most current version of the standard, updated from the 2013 edition. The scope of the certification is specific to the product itself, says CAD Rooms, and not a generic corporate IT audit, meaning customers have independent assurance that the platform has been assessed against internationally recognised information security requirements.
Certification was completed in approximately five weeks, enabled by CAD Rooms’ all-virtual infrastructure and use of automated compliance tooling. The company operates without a physical office, and its architecture was built to support rapid, rigorous audits of this kind.
