The University of Tartu High Performance Computing Center obtained the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification

The internationally recognised standard confirms that the University of Tartu High Performance Computing Center adheres to the highest data protection and security procedures. This achievement is the result of years of work by the team at the High Performance Computing Center to create an effective security system to protect computing infrastructure.

Specifically, the certification covers the provision and management of high-performance computing, servers, cloud and network services, data backup and associated support services. Such a broad scope ensures that all IT operations and services provided by the UTHPC, such as the use of the LUMI supercomputer, the local high-performance computing cluster Rocket, the sensitive data analysis platform SAPU and the management platform Waldur and related support services, are fully compliant with international security standards.

As part of the certification process, a comprehensive audit of the information security management system of the UT High Performance Computing Center was carried out, including data processing, risk assessment and implementation of security measures across all services provided. Successful certification confirms that the Center is committed to ensuring the reliability and protection of sensitive data in all areas of its activities, and that international collaborators, research partners, the public sector and private companies can trust the UT High Performance Computing Center infrastructure with their most sensitive projects and data.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification involves continuous improvement of systems and regular audits. You can therefore be sure that your information security management system will remain effective against new emerging threats.

The University of Tartu High Performance Computing Center is the lead member of the Estonian Scientific Computing Infrastructure (ETAIS). ETAIS is a nationwide e-infrastructure that combines computers, data storage devices, network solutions, software and support services.
