Information security in focus

Information security is a very important aspect of protecting personal data from undue intrusion, not least in view of the GDPR. We ensure the processes so that you are fully protected.

Security is more than technology - it's a way of working

At Kontek, information security is an integral part of our everyday work. Our dedicated security team works continuously with external experts to ensure a safe, robust and stable operating environment.

We prioritize both security and confidentiality in everything we do - to protect our customers, their data and our own business. With proactive procedures, checks and updates, we make sure you can always feel safe with our solutions.

How we work with security in practice

Knowledgeable, responsible and aware staff

All employees undergo regular training to gain insight into the latest threats and how to act according to best practices.

All Kontek employees have signed a non-disclosure agreement upon hiring and receive a personal briefing with Kontek's IT security function as a mandatory part of the onboarding process.

Kontek is certified according to ISO27001:2022.

Network security

Our network infrastructure is designed with security in mind.

We use modern firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption and other tools (e.g. vulnerability scanners) to monitor and protect our own and our customers' assets.

The solutions use a multi-layered architecture for optimal protection of information assets.

Access management

Our access management policy ensures that only authorized users have access to specific systems and data.

We use multi-factor authentication to further strengthen the protection of user accounts.

For Kontek employees, their access rights/levels are based on their work function and role, following the approach that one should always be assigned the minimum possible user privileges to be able to perform their work according to defined responsibilities. Access rights are reviewed regularly.

Software and system updates

We keep our systems and software updated with the latest security patches to minimize vulnerabilities and prevent potential malware threats.

Incident management and response plans

We have established incident management and response plans to respond quickly and effectively to any security incidents.

Physical security

The company's facilities where personal data is stored are protected with adequate security measures, including surveillance, access controls and other safeguards. The data centers we use are located in Sweden and have protection class 3, self-sufficient for cooling and have, in addition to UPS, diesel generators to ensure full functionality in the event of a power outage. Redundant internet connections are available to minimize the risk of disruption to our services and operations.

Vulnerability analysis and penetration testing

We carry out regular vulnerability assessments and penetration tests to detect and address potential weaknesses in our delivery.

Regular backups

We perform regular, automated backups of all critical data and systems. This process includes both local storage and backup to two external, secure data centers (located in Sweden) in different domains. Backups are performed daily and stored for 30 generations. We conduct regular recovery tests to ensure that our backups are fully functional and that the recovery process is effective. These tests enable a quick response to incidents and allow us to correct any problems in advance.

Supplier audits

We conduct regular audits of our suppliers' security performance to ensure that they maintain at least the same high security standards as we do.

Through all these measures and a constant ambition to improve, we strive to create a secure and reliable IT environment to meet the challenges of a changing world.
