Alarm IT Factory ISO27001:2022

Successfully recertified to ISO 27001:2022

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

For us, this is much more than just a formal certificate. It shows that information security is not just something we talk about on paper;  it is part of our day-to-day work, with clear processes, defined standards, and a strong commitment to protecting 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’re a kununu Top Company 2026 - again

We’re really happy to share that we’ve once again been recognized as a kununu Top Company in 2026 - making this our fifth year in a row.

For us, this is more than just a badge. It’s a strong sign that our culture, the way we work together, and the experience people have with our company are being noticed in a positive way.

What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it’s based on feedback from people who know our company firsthand - whether from working with us or through the application process.

A big thank you to everyone who shared their feedback and helped make this possible.

SPS 2026

ACC Insights

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.  

Video ACC Alarmboard

ACC Alarmboard

In this issue, we take a closer look at the ACC Alarmboard. This option allows alarms in ACC to be triggered manually - either with predefined settings or flexibly in the moment, depending on the situation. It is especially useful in cases where incidents are not detected automatically by sensors and a quick manual alarm is needed. 

 

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 end of support on Nov. 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: sales@alarmcontrolcenter.de.
