How the Microsoft Dynamics and MECOMS 365 platform helps with compliancy & security challenges 

In a regulatory landscape shaped by rising cybersecurity threats, growing data protection demands, and the complexity of AI governance, utility companies face increasing pressure to remain compliant while continuing to innovate. In this keynote, Peter Loyen from Ferranti highlights how the Microsoft Dynamics and MECOMS 365 platform offers a future-proof foundation for tackling these challenges head-on. Built with compliance at its core, MECOMS 365 supports critical requirements such as ISO 27001, GDPR, and the EU AI Act. Peter demonstrates how its modular architecture helps organizations integrate compliance into daily operations—automating data validation, securing workflows, and ensuring audit readiness. But more than just ticking boxes, the platform also empowers utilities to align with the human-centered and responsible AI principles highlighted by fellow speakers. From Nathalie Claes’ insights on behavioral vulnerabilities and the need for employee cyber awareness, to Koen Mathijs’ vision of ethical AI as a catalyst for innovation, and Peter Schaap’s frontline experience managing security risks in critical infrastructure, this session connects the dots. It shows how MECOMS 365 not only strengthens compliance and security posture, but enables organizations to embed resilience, trust, and adaptability into every layer of their digital strategy.
