One of the big stories at Nor-Shipping in June 2023 will be data security and assurance, says DNV Veracity director, Mikkel Skou
Speaking in Oslo in April 2023 ahead of Nor-Shipping, which takes place in June 2023, Mr Skou explained how the Veracity digital platform helps customers gain assurance about the quality of their service data by providing certification processes and digital assurance tools.
Through these measures, customers can be sure they are receiving reliable information.
This allows them to make more informed decisions when it comes to managing their operations or forming business relationships. “DNV works with a lot of customers that believe the same thing,” said Mr Skou.
Today, the platform supports 32,000 companies, 300,000 users and 10,000 ships connected with operational data, 6,000 solar sites with data connectivity on demand, and 250 digital business services.
In addition, the platform collaborates with partners to source additional quality data through methods such as digital checklists, calibration systems and legal obligations where necessary.
The platform also enables customers to share their own specific operationalised data within customer ecosystems without compromising its integrity or accuracy in any way.
As well as giving them confidence that all stakeholders have access to the same data in real time, it also allows them to benefit from improved communication and collaboration within the supply chain, Mr Skou explained.
The next stage in the evolution of such platforms is to increase the pressure on regulators to standardise, in that the quality of the data should be based on the standards.
The second pressure point is what Mr Skou called “digital assurance”. This entails digital technology algorithms and different kinds of technologies.
“This is something we (DNV) can do with confidence, based on integrity and the principles that we have,” said Mr Skou.
“Finally,” he said, “The added value in the data is to be able to share it and to do this, you need confidence in the data and confidence among customers to share this data in their ecosystem. And this is wherever Veracity comes in.”
