Two disambiguation warnings
**n-able.biz / N-able Private Limited (Sri Lanka) is an unrelated company.** Its ISO 27001 announcement is frequently mis-attributed to N-able Inc.
**The SolarWinds Orion/SUNBURST compromise (Dec 2020) was not an N-able incident** — N-able was spun out of SolarWinds Corp as a separate company in July 2021.
Also note N-able’s public Security Statement says its *data centres* have SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 — that refers to its hosting providers. Its own Schellman ISO 27001 is a separate, genuine claim. CMMC 2.0 is a stated readiness commitment for N-central, not a certification.
