SWC Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification

South Western Communications (SWC) is proud to announce that we have achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the leading international standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).


As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year (2026), this milestone reflects our long standing dedication to protecting sensitive information, strengthening our cybersecurity posture, and delivering secure, trusted solutions to the customers we serve.


What ISO 27001:2022 Means for SWC and Our Customers


ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is recognized worldwide as the benchmark for information security management. Achieving certification confirms that SWC has implemented a comprehensive, risk based security program supported by strong policies, documented processes, and technical controls.


Our certified ISMS covers:


  • Personal information
  • Customer and supplier data
  • Internal data related to sales, project management, strategic guidance, and hosted applications
  • Multiple SWC locations, including Newburgh (HQ), Decatur, Lenexa, and Nashville.


This certification provides our customers with confidence that the systems supporting their operations are protected by industry leading security practices.


Audit Results: A Strong Validation of SWC’s Security Maturity


The certification audit, conducted by Johanson Group LLP, examined our policies, procedures, controls, operational practices, and evidence. The audit concluded with:


  • 0 major nonconformities
  • 5 minor nonconformities
  • 6 observations


All of which are well within expectations for a first time ISO 27001 certification and demonstrate that SWC operates a well structured, mature security program.


Continuous Improvement Through Our Trust Center


As part of our commitment to transparency, we are launching a Security Trust Center, powered by Vanta. This platform will allow customers and partners to view real time control status, policy documentation, and our ISO certification details.
