Success story: The importance of cybersecurity in international expansion processes

Asier Riaño - Director de IT y Atención al cliente - GHI Hornos Industriales

Mikel Villar - Cybersecurity Business Unit Manager - Irontec

As part of its international expansion process, GHI develops innovative products in the field of Industry 4.0, applying Machine Learning and AI techniques. This product has been exceptionally well received in the international market, but faces the problem of responding to the cybersecurity requirements of potential customers who are concerned about the lifecycle of their data.

After an in-depth analysis and with the help of IRONTEC, the need was determined to carry out a regulatory adaptation of international certification in ISO 27001 which encompasses, on the one hand, the part of procedures in matters of information security, and on the other hand, the effective alignment of the standard with the implemented cybersecurity measures.

The results of this union translate into greater product visibility in cybersecurity-conscious markets, extra support in the commercial task, reduced entry time into new international markets, and a response to all the protection, confidentiality and traceability needs that the client required, among others.
