Where does all that data actually go?
August 2025
As substations become digitalized, cybersecurity becomes a key issue for the energy sector. Gomero's digital maintenance solutions are designed to both optimize substation asset utilization and ensure the protection of all data handled in the system. With our combination of advanced technology and thoughtful IT security, we build a robust and future-proof electrical grid.
Sensors installed on substation equipment continuously collect data that is transmitted through an encrypted and secure system. From sensor to cloud platform, every step in the data flow is carefully protected against intrusion and unauthorized access.
The system is built on a certified and GDPR-compliant cloud platform that ensures all stored information is handled according to internationally recognized security standards, creating confidence in the management of sensitive infrastructure data.
Through systematic analysis and continuous improvement of security measures, in collaboration with independent security experts, the system is kept updated against both existing and emerging cyber threats, ensuring long-term operational reliability and protection.
The system applies strict access control where users are assigned specific access levels based on their roles. This careful permission management effectively reduces the risk of unauthorized access to critical functions and data.
To ensure business continuity, automatic backup routines are implemented that enable quick restoration of information should unexpected events occur, minimizing the risk of operational disruptions.
Our commitment to information security is confirmed through ISO 27001 certification – a globally recognized standard that guarantees our security processes are reviewed and validated annually. This certification ensures that we continuously meet international requirements and can protect both our own and our customers' operations.
A robust and secure electrical grid represents more than a technical solution – it constitutes a fundamental societal function. Cyberattacks against electrical grid infrastructure can result in consequences ranging from minor operational disruptions to extensive societal impact. By combining innovation with carefully designed security, Gomero's solutions contribute to protecting both the physical electricity supply and the trust that a reliable electrical grid creates.
