Proactima in international expert groupJonas Eriksen from Proactima is appointed Norwegian expert in an international group which will prepare a new ISO standard for social security. The new standard will apply to cities where large events will take place. A real feather in the hat for both Jonas and Proactima!
Jonas works at Proactima’s office in Bergen and through the job as social security coordinator he was strongly engaged in the Road World Championship in Bergen in 2017. The experiences are that the events are usually much more expensive than budgeted and that the risk in the urban community increases considerable. The financial calculations also cracked in Bergen, but the additional risk for the Bergen region was largely neutralized through systematic and thorough cooperation and risk-reducing measures.
Price for preventive work
And it is precisely this preventive work that has aroused national and international attention – and which led to the initiative to develop a separate ISO standard in the field of social security for cities that are planning and carrying out large events. The new ISO standard in the field of social security has been named “ISO / TC292 WG7 Guideline for Events”.
The expert group will be headed by the Emergency response manager in Bergen municipality, Ivar Konrad Lunde, on behalf of Standard Norge. The City of Bergen also received the Social Security Prize for 2017 for the preventive work in connection with the Bicycle World Championship. The prize was awarded by the Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning (DSB).
ISO is the abbreviation for the International Organization for Standardization. ISO comes from the Greek word “equal” and publishes standards in various areas.
The work starts in Bangkok in September and will last for a period of three years.
The Election Act Commission publishes the reportYesterday, the Proactima report on “Security in democratic processes in Norway” was published. The Election Act Commission has not yet decided on the content of the report.
A significant part of the work was to identify the most relevant threats and assessing how these could damage the democratic processes.
Proactima believes that there is a low risk of manipulating the voting numbers and election results in Norway today. This is mainly because many manual processes for registration, counting of votes and control are being used in Norway.
However, the report points out that there is more reason to worry about the influence of candidates and voters. Such influences are directly related to democracy’s important principles of free and enlightened elections. This phenomenon is constantly discussed in media reports about false news and influence campaigns.
Proactima emphasizes that increased digitization of elections will lead to the need for significant security measures to the identity of the voters and ensure that the count is not manipulated. The company also points out that there is a general need to increase the knowledge in the population about threats, influences and digital media to reduce the vulnerability.
