Consultant in Privacy and Information Security

Project overview

Information that there is someone in the role today.

Description:

Norwegian Customs' societal mission is to control goods entering and leaving Norway, and to ensure that laws and regulations for cross-border goods transport are complied with. This contributes to Norway being a sustainable, safe, and fair country for citizens and businesses, well-facilitated for international trade.

Norwegian Customs works to make it simple and efficient to comply with laws and regulations for cross-border goods transport. At the same time, we must create a high perceived risk of detection for those who nevertheless consider smuggling, and we must uncover as many smugglers as possible. Norwegian Customs also supports a number of collaborating authorities, as the entire state's representative where goods cross the border.

The volume of goods crossing the border is large, and the volume has increased over many years. Norwegian Customs relies on digitizing processes to handle the volume and ensure harmonization with EU regulations. One goal is to establish the most efficient and seamless goods transport process possible that contributes to compliance with laws and regulations for cross-border goods transport.

Norwegian Customs' digitalization program plays a key role in the development of the future Norwegian Customs. The goal is to establish good support tools to best fulfill the societal mission, and thereby further develop and streamline the agency. The program represents the agency's largest development initiatives and works with the line organization to carry out necessary change activities to achieve and realize planned effects/benefits.
