Introduction

In the evening you quickly check your climate settings on your phone, adjust a setpoint and see right away how your greenhouse responds. Greenhouse operations generate more data than ever before. Climate data, irrigation data, crop performance and operational information are collected and used every day to support better decision-making. 

This data plays a vital role in your day-to-day operations. It needs to be available when you need it and protected against unauthorized access and cyber threats, so your crop and your business keep running. 

So, how can you make sure your greenhouse data stays secure? 

Building security from the ground up 

Cybersecurity starts long before a system is installed. It begins during the development of hardware, software and cloud solutions. 

By building security into every stage of development, many potential risks can be addressed before systems are put into operation. 

Storing greenhouse data securely 

When data is stored in the cloud, it needs to be hosted in a secure and reliable environment. 

Priva One runs on Microsoft Azure, with customer data stored in Europe. Multiple security measures are in place to help protect data while ensuring authorized users have access whenever they need it. 

Controlling access to your data 

Not everyone needs access to the same information. That is why effective access management is a key part of cybersecurity. 

Priva uses modern authentication methods, including multi-factor authentication (MFA). By adding an extra verification step, unauthorized access to systems and greenhouse data becomes much more difficult. 

Security doesn't stop after installation 

Cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Regular updates help keep systems secure, reliable and up to date. 

Cloud applications receive software and security updates automatically, so you always work with the latest protection. 

More than technology alone 

A secure digital environment depends on more than just the technology itself. Processes, management and collaboration all play an important role. 

That is why Priva works according to internationally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and ISO 9001 for quality management. Systems are also regularly reviewed and continuously improved to maintain a high level of security. 

Protecting data is an ongoing process 

As greenhouse operations become more data-driven, cybersecurity becomes an increasingly important part of everyday operations. 

A secure digital environment relies on the right combination of technology, access management, software updates and well-designed processes. Together, they create a strong foundation for a secure and future-ready greenhouse. 

Security and openness go hand in hand with Priva One. As an open platform, Priva One connects systems and applications from different suppliers, so you can manage everything in one place. That openness is built on a secure foundation: your data stays in Europe, you decide who gets access, and you always stay in control of your own data. So you get the flexibility of an open platform, with the confidence that your greenhouse data stays well protected.
