ISO/IEC 27001 certifies an organization’s information security management system, not a device. ZeroKeyUSB is not “ISO 27001 certified.” This page states how the device is designed to support specific ISO/IEC 27002:2022 controls, so it can be part of your ISMS evidence.

Primary control: 5.17 Authentication information

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 5.17 covers the secure handling of authentication information — passwords, PINs and keys.
ZeroKeyUSB helps organizations protect authentication information by storing credentials offline, encrypted, and outside the host computer, reducing exposure to browser password leaks, malware, shared sessions, and cloud compromise.

Control-by-control support

Evidence an auditor can verify

  • Open-source firmware — the encryption, PIN and boot logic are inspectable (see Software).
  • Key custody — the AES key is generated in and never leaves the ATECC608A.
  • No data egress — no network interface exists; nothing is transmitted.
  • Documented limits — the Threat model states the boundaries, which supports an honest risk assessment.

Suggested statement for an ISMS

ZeroKeyUSB is designed to support ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 controls for authentication information (5.17), access control (5.15/5.18), secure authentication (8.5) and use of cryptography (8.24). It is used as a technical control within the organization’s ISMS; it is not itself certified.
