nic.at GmbH, its daughter company CERT.at GmbH, as well as its sister companies ipcom GmbH and tldbox GmbH have been certified according to the leading international standard for information security ISO 27001 since 2014. The validity of this CIS certificate is maintained through annual surveillance audits and three-year renewal audits, which nic.at successfully achieved in June 2022 and thus received re-certification. The certificates can be viewed directly at the certification body CIS Certification & Information Security Services GmbH.

A total of 45 Salzburg companies and institutions were awarded the "Quality Seal for Workplace Health Promotion (BGF)" by the Austrian Health Insurance Fund in mid-September 2020. This seal of approval is the highest Austrian award for exemplary and sustainable investments in the health of employees. The goal is a long-term and lasting change in working conditions under the aspect of promoting health. The criteria for the award are based on the quality criteria of the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion. The seal of approval is awarded for three years at a time, and a new application is possible at any time.

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard that indicates how information security can be guaranteed in a company. Following the initial certification of nic.at GmbH in 2014, regular audits have been carried out to check, among other things, transparency in processes, systematic risk and business continuity management, and information security. We are proud to have successfully passed the re-certification following an audit lasting several days, in addition to our sister companies ipcom GmbH and tldbox GmbH.

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard that describes how information security in a company can be ensured. Following the first certification of nic.at GmbH in 2014, regular audits check procedures, systematic risk and business continuity management and information security for transparency and other factors. We are proud that we, our subsidiary ipcom GmbH  and our sister company tldbox GmbH have successfully achieved re-certification in the context of multiple-day audits.

Yesterday's finals at the Salzburg State Prize for Marketing, Communication, and Design at the venue named republic Salzburg demonstrated that advertisement for domains does not have to be dull and abstract at all, but can be personal and appealing. The nic.at campaign "Klickfänger – kleine Unternehmen mit großen Ideen aus .at“ was awarded second prize in the section commercials and video. After three awards in 2014, this is now the fourth State Prize for a nic.at campaign. 

For the second time this year, the awards of the "Council of European National Top-Level Domain Registries" (CENTR) were given away and nic.at impressed the jury with two projects at once. On the one hand, nic.at was awarded a prize for the campaign "österreichsetztauf.at – Lieblinks der Nation". In an Austria-wide campaign last year, nic.at shone a limelight on the 100 most-clicked .at domains, presented their Internet success stories and awarded them the moniker "Lieblinks of the nation" (play on the pun of Lieblink sounding like the German word "Liebling" meaning darling). On the other hand, nic.at and its Swiss and German equivalents received an award in the field of security. In this case, registries found and implemented an effective cooperation model for the auditing of ISO27001 Information Security Management systems. 

.at is Austria's favourite domain. This is confirmed by a study demonstrating that 56% of the domain holders of .at domains are companies and organisations and 44% are private individuals. More than 80% of all registered .at domains are in active use - a record value worldwide. This is also the focus of the current nic.at campaign that aims to continue growing the .at brand. The campaign website www.österreichsetztauf.at contains, facts, figures and dates, as well as success stories of domestic companies that bank on .at. Additionally, rankings were added to the website, providing a hit parade of the most successful .at domains.

After a one-year preparatory period, in which many processes were closely investigated and optimised, nic.at was officially awarded the ISO 27001 certificate. On 18 February 2014, the auditors of the CIS company confirmed the application and further development of an effective Information Security Management System in accordance with ISO 27001:2013. nic.at subsidiary ipcom GmbH and sister company tldbox GmbH were also certified. The considerable benefits of an ISO 27001 certification are the systematic and risk-based integration of information security into the company's relevant business processes. This serves to ensure and improve the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the IT systems.
