Netsecurity AS is subject to the Norwegian Transparency Act and complies with the duty of disclosure following due diligence. The content of the report follows guidance from the Norwegian Consumer Authority, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and internal procedures for risks and opportunities.
Netsecurity AS is a Norwegian company owned by Å Energi Group and its employees. This statement constitutes the company’s public reporting under the Transparency Act for 2024. The Act aims to promote respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions, as well as ensure public access to information about companies’ efforts in this area.
Netsecurity AS delivers expertise, solutions, and services within IT and cyber security. We assist organisations in preventing, detecting, and managing digital threats. Netsecurity has approximately 160 employees in Norway and Sweden and serves around 700 customers across the Nordic region, in both the public and private sectors. The company had a turnover of approximately NOK 800 million and worked with around 400 suppliers and business partners, of which 2 manufacturers and 2 distributors account for a significant share of product purchases.
Netsecurity follows the parent group’s guidelines and policies on human rights and decent working conditions:
Ethical guidelines for employees and suppliers were adopted in 2024 and apply to all employees, consultants, and partners.
Our Eco-Lighthouse certification is maintained and includes requirements for the working environment, health, safety, and social responsibility.
Our suppliers are expected to support and respect international human rights and adhere to the ILO’s core conventions.
We have internal and external whistleblowing channels that ensure anonymity and protection against retaliation.
As a cyber security company, we operate a supply chain consisting of both Norwegian and international actors, focusing on:
Services and licenses from national and international providers
Hardware originating from manufacturers who may have subcontractors in China
This structure involves an inherent risk of violations of human rights and decent working conditions in the lower tiers of the supply chain, especially concerning hardware production. We address this risk by:
Choosing only certified suppliers who report on corporate responsibility
Collecting documentation on suppliers’ policies and compliance
Assessing risk at the contract stage, including the use of risk registers and public information
During 2024, we have:
Carried out a mapping of suppliers
Conducted due diligence assessments as part of the group’s overall evaluations
Updated our guidelines to ensure audit access and compliance with ethical standards
In 2025, Netsecurity plans to:
Revise ethical guidelines for suppliers and partners
Continue mapping and risk assessment of the supplier portfolio
Improve procurement procedures and establish a shared registration process for suppliers
Follow up with suppliers through relevant audits and reporting requirements
Contribute to the parent group’s work on aligning the Transparency Act with CSRD (sustainability reporting)
Convert our environmental certification from Eco-Lighthouse to ISO14001
Anyone has the right to request information on how Netsecurity handles actual or potential adverse impacts on human rights and working conditions, in accordance with § 6 of the Transparency Act. Inquiries can be submitted via our website and will normally be answered within three weeks.
The due diligence assessments are presented to Netsecurity’s management team along with guidance from the company’s owner and risk mitigation measures. A binding statement on publication of the report under the Transparency Act is included in the board’s annual report. The statement is published on Netsecurity’s website.
