Wittra Networks has strengthened its cybersecurity framework to meet rising regulatory demands and prepare for ISO 27001 certification. Through support from Sweden Secure Tech Hub, the company collaborated with eBuilder Security to carry out a penetration test and reinforce internal practices. 

“The support we received made a clear difference — not just for the certification process, but for strengthening confidence in our daily cybersecurity work, both internally and among customers,” says Johan Kullander, Senior Business Development Manager at Wittra Networks, a subsidiary of Nida Tech Sweden. 

 

Connecting expertise with real needs

Wittra Networks develops connected RTLS and sensor solutions that enable asset tracking and environmental monitoring in complex industrial settings. Its clients include organisations with high security requirements, such as Arlanda Airport — making information security and regulatory compliance central to how the company operates. 

When preparing for ISO 27001 certification, Wittra Networks learned about the support available through Sweden Secure Tech Hub via Kista Science City. The hub connected the company with eBuilder Security, a Kista-based firm with more than 15 years of experience providing cybersecurity services to public and private organisations. 

The collaboration focused on conducting a penetration test — a key step in meeting the requirements of ISO 27001 and the NIS2 directive. Over two weeks, eBuilder Security carried out a structured, five-phase assessment tailored to Wittra Networks’ specific systems and needs. The work provided detailed insights into system vulnerabilities and clear guidance for strengthening internal routines. 

Beyond the immediate outcome, the project also helped Wittra Network expand its network of trusted cybersecurity partners — an important asset for companies operating in regulated and safety-critical environments. 

 

Strengthening Sweden’s cybersecurity ecosystem

For many technology-driven SMEs, building strong cybersecurity has become just as essential as developing core products. As standards tighten and customer expectations rise, smaller companies often need to match the security level of much larger organisations — but without the same internal resources. 

“Working with smaller companies allows us to bring cybersecurity practices closer to the people behind the systems,” says Per Häggdahl, Head of Business Unit & CISO at eBuilder Security. “When those insights reach across the organisation, cybersecurity becomes part of everyday operations rather than a separate exercise.” 

By enabling collaborations like this one, Sweden Secure Tech Hub helps SMEs access targeted expertise, raise their security standards, and build resilience across Sweden’s digital economy.
