Information security

Alfa Laval is a global company, and we are committed to robust information security in every region and jurisdiction where we operate. We continuously invest in information security to safeguard our customers, partners and innovations worldwide.

Key information security areas

Information protection and data security practices protecting Alfa Laval information and data from unauthorized access, use or loss – to stay compliant, ensure trust and business continuity. 

Organizational resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents or disruptions. This is vital to ensure business continuity, minimize downtime, and protect critical operations.  

Supply chain risk management puts focus on protecting Alfa Laval from risks and vulnerabilities introduced by third-party vendors or partners. The objectives are to prevent data breaches, ensure integrity of our products and services, and maintain trust with our customers and stakeholders.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) is how we control that only authorized individuals can access the right information resources at the right time – and for the right reasons. Our IAM practices protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with security regulations.

​Secure development means integrating information security practices throughout the software development lifecycle to identify and address any vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, and prevent security flaws in applications.

Zero Trust is our strategic security approach for protecting Alfa Laval IT, cloud, and Operational Technology (OT) environments through the implementation of security controls across identities, devices, networks, applications, and data. By combining least-privilege access, segmentation, endpoint protection, secure configurations, hardening, and continuous verification, we reduce the attack surface and limit the impact of potential compromise.​

Cyber Threat Management provides continuous visibility across our IT, cloud, and Operational Technology (OT) environments to detect, investigate, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. Through security monitoring, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, threat hunting, and incident response, we continuously strengthen our cyber resilience.​

Security compliance​

Alfa Laval ensures information security compliance on global scale by adhering to both legal and regulatory requirements across all markets, for example the Network & Information Security Directive (NIS2), Cyber Resilience Act (CRA,) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We integrate international standards and local regulations into our information security processes, demonstrating our commitment to protecting data and maintaining trust worldwide.​
