Since 20.12.2022, the network transition between the University of Münster and the Federal Network-Connection Network has been certified with the "ISO 27001 certificate based on IT-Grundschutz" for secure data exchange. This certification is based on an elaborate auditing process, which WWU IT was the first university unit nationwide to successfully pass. The audit enabled the University of Münster's already high level of security to be further increased.
