SGC achieves ISO 27001 certification
News
A solid step toward a more secure digital future.
Information security today is not an added value, but a fundamental necessity. So at SGC SwitchGear Company, we are extremely proud to announce that we are officially ISO/IEC 27001 certified – the international standard for information security management.
But what does it really mean, such a certification? And above all, why did we consciously choose it, and what does it mean for you as a customer or partner?
What is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Simply put, it is a structured framework that helps to securely manage information, control risks and protect sensitive data from misuse, loss or unauthorized access.
Applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries, this standard focuses on confidentiality, integrity and availability of information – three critical pillars in a digital world.
Why ISO 27001 for SBC?
With the ISO 27001 certificate in our pocket, we are taking our services and our internal operations to a higher level. We continue to invest in:
- Raising awareness among employees
- Up-to-date security technologies
- Regular reviews and audits
- Transparent communication with customers and partners
Safety is henceforth embedded in our culture – not as an obligation, but as a belief.
The benefits of ISO 27001
- Improved risk analysis and proactive risk management
- More efficient processes thanks to clear procedures and responsibilities
- Continuous improvement through internal audits, actions and measurements
- Compliance with legislation and international standards
- Increased confidence: you know your data is securely managed
- Fewer risks in collaboration – safety is integrated into our way of working
- Increased transparency: we are accountable and communicate clearly about how we protect your information
What does this mean to you?
Whether you are a customer, supplier or employee: You can count on:
- Professional data protection
- Minimal risk of data breaches or failures
- Unambiguous procedures and rapid response in case of incidents
In conclusion
At SGC, we believe that true quality is not only in the product, but also in the processes and values behind it. With ISO 27001 certification, we are taking another step forward – in security, in transparency, and in the future-proofing of our company.

Bezoek van Fluvius Kortrijk aan SGC
News
A day full of energy!
Op dinsdag 13 mei 2025 had SGC – Switchgear Company het genoegen om een team van Fluvius Kortrijk, unit Schelde-Leie (dienst projectbeheer, ontwerp en patrimonium), te ontvangen voor een inspirerend en informatief bedrijfsbezoek.
Na een warme ontvangst begon het programma met een korte introductie over de missie, visie en activiteiten van SGC. Vervolgens namen we onze bezoekers mee op een uitgebreide rondleiding doorheen onze site. De tour startte in ons middenspanningsmuseum, waar we de evolutie van schakelapparatuur en middenspanningstechnologie uit de doeken deden. Hier kregen de bezoekers een historisch perspectief op innovatie binnen de sector.
Daarna volgde een exclusieve blik achter de schermen van onze productieafdeling. Onze gasten konden van dichtbij zien hoe vakmanschap, precisie en technologie samenkomen in elk product dat we ontwikkelen. De rondleiding eindigde in onze showroom, waar we een live demonstratie gaven van onze nieuwste technologieën. Theorie en praktijk kwamen hier letterlijk samen, met concrete toepassingen en interactieve uitleg.
Het bezoek bood ruimte voor boeiende gesprekken, kennisdeling en uitwisseling van ideeën tussen twee spelers die zich dagelijks inzetten voor een betrouwbare en duurzame energie-infrastructuur. We kijken met veel plezier terug op deze dynamische ontmoeting met echte vakmensen uit het veld.
Namens het hele team van SGC bedanken wij Fluvius Kortrijk voor hun interesse, enthousiasme en waardevolle interactie. We hopen in de toekomst opnieuw samen te komen rond technologie, innovatie en energie van morgen.
