At Metria, information security and privacy are fundamental to our mission. Through clear governing documents, technical safeguards and continuous improvement, we ensure that personal data and business-critical information is handled correctly, securely and in accordance with applicable regulations.

We encourage all our customers to be aware of how their personal data is handled and to ask questions about data protection. Together, we can create a safer and more responsible digital world.
Digitization creates new opportunities for society, business and the public sector. At the same time, it increases the demands on how data is collected, shared and protected. A data breach or mismanagement of personal data can have far-reaching consequences - legally, financially and for trust.
January 28 is Data Privacy Day. For Metria, it is a relevant reminder that information security is not a technical detail in the background, but a crucial part of the customer experience.
When data protection becomes a competitive advantage
Many of Metria's customers make decisions that affect people, infrastructure and social development. This places high demands on data being accurate, accessible - and protected.
In practice, well-functioning data protection means that:
- sensitive information does not fall into the wrong hands
- decisions can be made based on reliable and secure data
- business can continue even in the event of incidents or increased threats
For the customer, it is about security at every stage - from procurement and implementation to the daily use of digital services.
Information security as part of the customer experience
Information security affects how customers experience both services and collaborations. When data protection is built into processes and systems, stability, predictability and trust are created.
At Metria, this means, among other things, that:
- data protection is already integrated in the development of new solutions
- access to information is systematically controlled and monitored
- risks are identified early and managed before they become incidents
The result is services that are secure without being cumbersome - and that support customers' operations over time.
Transparency in an era of increased demands
Legislation such as the GDPR has raised the bar for how organizations must work with personal data. At the same time, customer expectations for clarity and accountability are increasing.
By being transparent about how information is handled and protected, better dialogues and stronger relationships are created. For many customers, this is now a decisive factor when choosing a supplier.
Data protection as an enabler - not a barrier
Data protection is sometimes perceived as an inhibiting regulatory framework. In practice, it is the opposite. When security and privacy are properly managed, it enables innovation, collaboration and digital development - without jeopardizing trust or compliance.
Data Protection Day reminds us that secure information management is not just about avoiding risks, but about creating sustainable and reliable digital solutions for the future.
