In the world of Utilities and critical infrastructure, digitalization – smart meters, IoT, and data platforms – has multiplied value and opportunities. But it has also expanded the attack surface.
Today, cybersecurity is no longer a downstream technical requirement: it is a strategic choice that directly affects service continuity, regulatory compliance, and the trust of end users.
For Maddalena, security has always been an integral part of how we design, develop, and deliver intelligent metering solutions. Not as a reaction to the threats of the moment, but as a structural, long-term commitment.
Certified Security, Embedded in the Product
Maddalena has adopted an Information Security Management System (ISMS) certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, covering not only information protection and operational continuity, but the entire lifecycle of software and technological solutions.
In practical terms, this means:
Secure by design across firmware, software, and platform development
Systematic and documented risk management
Technical, organizational, and procedural controls aligned with the highest international standards
Regulatory compliance as a driver of trust and reliability
In a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, compliance is an enabling factor, not a constraint:
GDPR for the protection of personal data
NIS2 for the security of networks and information systems
Alignment with the principles of the Cyber Resilience Act and RED / RED DA regulations for connected products
This approach strengthens trust among Utilities, partners, and stakeholders across the entire value chain.
IT Architectures Designed for Continuity
Digital resilience also depends on infrastructure:
High availability and redundancy of critical systems
Segmentation of IT/OT networks
Enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery.
The objective is clear: operational continuity, data integrity, and the ability to respond effectively even in complex scenarios.
People, Processes, and Culture
Technology alone is not enough. Maddalena invests in specialized expertise — including IT/OT cybersecurity, risk management, governance, and compliance — as well as in continuous training, because digital resilience is built through the integration of people, processes, and technologies.
A Message to the Utility Sector
In the smart metering context, choosing a supplier no longer means evaluating metrological performance or functionality alone.
It means asking the right questions:
How secure is the solution over time?
Is it ready for future regulatory requirements?
Does it truly protect the Utility’s data, services, and reputation?
Raising the bar in supplier selection means reducing systemic risk and building stronger, more sustainable, and more reliable digital infrastructures.
For Maddalena, protecting systems means protecting value, innovation, and trust. A concrete commitment to supporting Utilities in their digital transition — securely.
