Sandvik Mining has achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification, following an external audit of the company's Information Security Management System (ISMS).

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security management, providing a structured framework to protect sensitive data, manage cyber risks and safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information throughout its lifecycle.

Commenting on the certification milestone, Sofia Sirvell, the company's executive VP and CDO, said: "As digital technologies continue to play an increasingly important role in the mining industry, our customers and partners must be able to rely on secure and well-governed services. This certification reinforces our dedication to protecting information assets and continuously improving the way we manage security risks."

By aligning its global application delivery processes with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements, cybersecurity considerations can be  built into Sandvik Mining solutions and support networks. "This security by design approach helps protect customer data, intellectual property and operational environments, while enabling reliable and scalable digital transformation for mining operations," says the company.
