“Secured data, safe employees, sustainable business” (Guest blog by Aino DPO Kimmo Järvelin)

“Compliance and the continuous development of security and privacy are the cornerstones of building real trust in a SaaS platform for work ability management. A crucial key to ensure employee data privacy at work, at home and when they sleep” 

We all know we live in challenging times when it comes to keeping data private. Lack of routines, the human factor and not least deliberate privacy breaches and theft pose a constant threat. Keeping the operation untampered and safe now is a full-time job for the managers, HR, IT and the machines we use.         

The Aino platform was originally initiated from research with the Finnish Armed Forces and we have always considered us part of a greater mission. An obvious part of that mission is a true commitment to all aspects of privacy and safety. Now, facing the challenges of the global digital world of today, we are happy and proud to say that safe data has been part of our DNA from the very beginning.

Aino's ISO 9001 quality management system was first certified 11 years ago in June 2014. Due to the increase in information security threats, we have also developed our capabilities to certify our ISMS (Information Security Management System). Thanks to this quality system, the management procedures are already familiar. In information security Aino has adopted the NIS2 Directive, the GDPR and their national applications as the most important beacons. ISO 27001 and 27701 standards are the primary frameworks in the development. New laws and standards, such as ISO 42001 for AI and ISO 27017 and 27018 for cloud computing are also followed up. 

Over the years I have seen numerous digital products come and go as part of my work. Most have failed but some (against all odds) really stood the test of time, new legislation, updated needs and technological evolution. Ever since I first came across Aino back in 2010, it has been clear to me that this adaptable dynamic toolbox was going to be a winner. Today I’m proud to be part of this great team and our mission to develope the platform to be the best practice in modern, safe and secure employee management. At Aino we will keep your employees and your data safe so that you can focus on building your organization sustainable, productive and future-proof.
