“My view is that the implementation of ISO 27001:2013 has been professionally rolled out and follows best practice. It is clear that the organization's style of working is reflected in the management system, and Gomero has a compelling approach to security with ISO ambassadors and ISO councils. Overall, this is a very well executed ISO 27001 system. It is also very unusual for a new certification to be approved without alterations”, comments Berndt Roslund, Senior Lead Auditor at Intertek.

 

“Electricity networks and infrastructure are receiving huge modernization investments and Gomero is an enabler in the movement towards smarter electricity grids. Our systems and services play a significant role in contributing to customers being able to initiate the digitization of maintenance work on switchgear and substations. With the latest certification, we have yet another validation that Gomero meets customers' high demands for information security and well-structured processes”, stated Malin Giselsson, CTO at Gomero.

Digitized maintenance processes create enormous benefits for companies in the energy sector. However, this work puts demands on maintaining a robust information security management system which safeguards business data. The handling of information securely has been a key priority for Gomero since the company first started offering connected devices and services and preparations for the ISO 27001 certification have intensified over the past year. Great importance has been placed on highlighting and implementing the company's processes regarding information security in the existing management system. Gomero has been certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for over ten years and has considerable experience in running a process-controlled business.

 

“The energy sector has a strong focus on developing smart distribution systems with innovative solutions. Gomero's connected system for monitoring and analysis plays an important role in this context. The certification is therefore an important landmark for us enabling more commercial deliveries, while also providing proof that Gomero lives up to the market's high demands for information security and classification in a connected environment. This is especially important in an industry where cyber attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent”, said Jan-Eric Nilsson, CEO at Gomero.
