Grup Heracles Elevates Cybersecurity as Digital Transformation Pillar

Grup Heracles has undergone significant digital transformation in recent years, evolving from administrative digitization to advanced operational tools and now prioritizing cybersecurity as a core strategic pillar.

The process began with the adoption of business process management (BPM) software, which streamlined administrative tasks like CAE document management and operational workflows, including daily work communications across business units and on-site construction reports. These changes have boosted efficiency, traceability, and resource optimization for both staff and administration.

The company also invested in cutting-edge construction machinery to enhance productivity and precision, positioning itself as a technology leader in the sector. Employee training has ensured that workers actively contribute to protective systems.

Building on this foundation, 2024 marked a shift toward digital security. Jordi Eslava, the company's IT and digital transformation manager, emphasized that no digital process is truly effective without robust protection.

This year, Grup Heracles redirected efforts across multiple fronts: internal infrastructure, end-user practices, and corporate culture. Key upgrades include real-time monitoring systems, two-factor authentication for access protocols, and comprehensive reviews of user permissions. These tools now allow the company to assess risks to its assets instantly and prioritize initiatives to ensure business security and continuity.

Data protection has been strengthened with additional encryption layers and strict handling protocols for sensitive information. Recognizing human factors as a primary vulnerability, the firm has ramped up cybersecurity training, delivering awareness sessions and integrating features that make every employee part of the defense system.

This approach fosters a collective security mindset, where staff internalize practices to prevent attacks, turning cybersecurity into an ingrained organizational value beyond mere policies.

Looking ahead, Grup Heracles plans ongoing investments in prevention, technology updates, and training to maintain a resilient, modern digital environment. With mature processes and fortified infrastructure, the company is poised to advance its digital agenda securely.
