Data security
In an industry where the flow of information is critical to clients’ operations, and where highly confidential data often is transmitted, Ovzon’s systems must consistently uphold the highest security standards. Ovzon is committed to full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, including NIST and the upcoming NIS2 Directive (Network and Information System) and amended RED (Radio Equipment Directive). The company has implemented robust security systems to ensure the secure storage of all data and conducts regular audits to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, always ensuring the highest level of data protection.
High quality products
All of Ovzon’s products are subject to strict quality controls to prevent the distribution of hazardous items in the market. A thorough selection of components is carried out during terminal design, and suppliers undergo continuous audits to ensure compliance with Ovzon’s standards. Quality assurance measures are implemented before components reach Ovzon, with additional checks upon arrival when and if necessary. During installation, several controls are done and detailly documented, and installers receive regular training to minimize errors. After all quality assurance and testing procedures are complete, the process concludes with a factory acceptance test (FAT) where the terminal is tested against a satellite. Prior to customer shipment, all terminals undergo a visual inspection securing that no products goes to market without undergoing comprehensive testing, allowing Ovzon to guarantee secure and high-quality products being released to the market.
ISO 9001
To stay compliant with the highest security standards, Ovzon has implemented a formal quality management system. The ISO 9001 certification, a globally recognized standard for quality management systems, means that the company is audited annually by an accredited third party. This standard focuses on ensuring consistent quality, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. Ovzon successfully passed the audit in December 2024, reaffirming its dedication to maintaining superior quality management across all operations. This certification further strengthens Ovzon’s ability to meet its customers’ demands for secure, reliable mobile satellite communication, while continuously improving its processes and services.
Ethical business
Ovzon maintains a strict zero-tolerance against corruption. All employees and suppliers are required to acknowledge and adhere to the company’s anti-corruption policy, which is approved by the Board and reviewed annually. No individual within the operation or value chain is permitted, under any circumstances, to offer or accept bribes. This includes consultants, partners, distributors, and suppliers. Ovzon mainly collaborates with local suppliers, where all of the distributors and suppliers are well-informed about and agree with the company’s values. Ovzon has a whistleblower function where all incidents that undermines Ovzon´s core ethical values such as integrity, respect, honesty, accountability and fairness are reported to the CEO, CFO or Chairman of the Board. The information is handled confidentially to safeguard the whistleblower’s anonymity.
