CISO Sofie Sundåker
The ideal CISO is someone who is an information security enthusiast, which perfectly sums up Sofie Sundåker. She’s the voice of reason to the creativity of our team, making sure everything we do responsibly protects both the business and our customers. Ensuring that Custellence grows securely and ethically.
Background
While on a sabbatical year in the Netherlands, Sofie Sundåker studied music and focused on enjoying life and music production. As her time off was coming to an end, she began passively looking for work. That’s when she saw an ad for a job on Facebook she couldn’t ignore. “Because it had a dog in the thumbnail”. Fortunately for us, that cute pooch Folke did the heavy lifting, and Custellence reaped the rewards. This marked the start of Sofie Sundåker's journey with our company.
Sofie always had an interest in cyber security, sparked by the dissonance between her views of its importance. Cyber security is not commonly high up on the agenda as it should be a priority. “Longer term, I want to be part of changing that and raising the status of security”. Beginning as a full-stack developer for Custellence, Sofie took over more security responsibilities as we began to transition to a more security-focused company.
Constantly improving
Thanks in part to her efforts, Custellence is constantly taking strides to improve security and building a culture with security top of mind in all areas. “I don’t just want it perceived as important; I want people to think it is important. And know that it sells. You get a return on investment. It costs quite a bit of money and it’s harder to see what you get in return. It’s my job to sell it”, said Sofie Sundåker, emphasizing her dedication.
"My overall goal is to spread cyber security like a virus.”
