BIO-key International, Inc. has joined ISMS Forum, Spain’s leading association for information security and risk management, expanding its role in European cybersecurity collaboration. The announcement follows BIO-key’s March 31, 2025 partnership with Arrow ECS Iberia to deliver Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions across Spain and Portugal.
ISMS Forum brings together public and private stakeholders to address cybersecurity policy, standards, and implementation. BIO-key’s membership will involve participation in events, workshops, and working groups focused on identity security and regulatory compliance, including frameworks such as GDPR and the EU’s Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2), which begins applying across Member States on October 17, 2024.
“We are pleased to welcome BIO-key to ISMS Forum as a valued member,” said Roberto Baratta, President of ISMS Forum. “Their expertise in identity and access management, including biometric authentication and Zero Trust security, will add significant value to our cybersecurity community. Strengthening collaboration with industry leaders like BIO-key helps us advance cybersecurity best practices and promote a secure digital ecosystem in Spain.”
BIO-key plans to contribute its knowledge in Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Zero Trust architecture to support ISMS Forum initiatives. “We believe collaboration is key to advancing cybersecurity resilience and protecting digital identities,” said Alex Rocha, International Managing Director at BIO-key. “Joining the ISMS Forum enables us to work closely with industry leaders, policymakers, and cybersecurity professionals to strengthen identity and access management strategies in Spain. We look forward to contributing to ISMS Forum’s mission and to driving innovation in identity security.”
