Lockheed Martin announced the successful achievement of ISO 20000 certification for its Information Systems & Global Solutions business area. The IT services certification complements the information security ISO 27001 certification which was announced in November of 2009 wherein Lockheed Martin became the first major systems integrator to achieve this designation.

The attainment of two internationally recognized certifications in IT services and information security standards positions Lockheed Martin as one of five US-based companies and government organisations to accomplish these combined milestones.

“These critical IT services and security certifications are key to meeting Lockheed Martin’s goals in the areas of program and performance excellence,” said Rick Johnson, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions. “The achievement is a significant benefit we can now provide on our more than 2,300 customer contracts and 17,000 suppliers that rely on resilient systems and trusted services to meet their core mission goals.”
