It maps the building it works in, and it reports each task to a cloud account. For an airport, a hospital group, a bank, or a public authority, that makes it part of the IT estate rather than only a line in the cleaning budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Assessing data security comes down to three checks: whether the manufacturer holds independently audited information security and privacy certification, whether it states where data is stored and how long it is kept, and whether the security measures it applies are named in a document rather than asserted in a meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c10\">Gausium is certified to ISO\/IEC 27001 and ISO\/IEC 27701, and its<\/span><span class=\"c10\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/privacy-policy\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/privacy-policy\/\">privacy policy<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0sets out server region selection, retention, and the measures applied to protect personal information. The sections below explain what each of the three checks involves, and how to apply them to any supplier under consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.hhv6gwb5sdbs\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">What a Connected Cleaning Robot Collects<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Before comparing certifications, it helps to agree internally on which data is in scope. A connected floor cleaning robot generates four kinds of data, and they carry different levels of sensitivity:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c6 lst-kix_r0oael8lpvr3-0 start\">\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">Spatial data<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the map the robot builds and uses to localize itself, including room layouts, restricted zones, and route plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">Sensor data<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 input from cameras, depth sensors, and LiDAR used to detect obstacles and people in real time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">Operational data<\/span><span class=\"c10\">\u00a0\u2014 task records, coverage, runtime, water and consumable use, fault codes, and cleaning history, the material that appears in<\/span><span class=\"c10\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/2026\/08\/10\/cleaning-robot-performance-reporting\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/2026\/08\/10\/cleaning-robot-performance-reporting\/\">cleaning robot performance reporting<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">Account data<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the identities and contact details of the supervisors and operators who log in to the fleet platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Security reviews tend to concentrate on the second category. In practice the first and third are the ones a facility team is asked about later, because a floor plan of a restricted area and a timestamped record of when a corridor was unoccupied are both useful to someone who should not have them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">A short written answer covering all four categories \u2014 which data leaves the site, which stays on the machine, which is retained after a task ends \u2014 is enough to pass to a security officer without further translation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full gausium-body-image\" style=\"width:100%; margin:28px 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1672\" height=\"941\" alt=\"How to Assess Data Security When Buying Commercial Cleaning Robots\" class=\"wp-image-18293\" src=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2.webp\" style=\"display:block; width:100%; height:auto; margin:0;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2.webp 1672w, https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/gausium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/article-19-body-2-763x429.webp 763w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1672px) 100vw, 1672px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.szkl35or5t4x\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Two Certifications Carry the Weight, and They Cover Different Things<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Cleaning robot manufacturers reference a long list of marks.

The certificate itself does most of the work, and five fields on it are worth reading:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c6 lst-kix_ylhlw8j971jh-0 start\">\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">The scope statement.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0It names the legal entities, sites, and services covered. A certificate that covers a manufacturing site but not the cloud platform a fleet reports to does not cover the relevant risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">The certification body and its accreditor.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0Accredited certification means a national accreditation body has assessed the auditor, and it generally carries more weight in a tender framework than certification without accreditation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">The edition of the standard named.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0This indicates which transition arrangements, if any, apply.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">Issue date, expiry date, and surveillance audits.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0Certification runs on a cycle, and annual surveillance is what keeps it current, so it is worth confirming the certificate in force today rather than an image saved from an earlier year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c2\">The contracting entity.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0In Europe and North America, machines are often supplied through a distributor. Confirm whether the certified entity is also the entity that signs the contract and hosts the account.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Certificate numbers and scope statements are not always published on a manufacturer&#8217;s website, so their absence is not in itself a finding. Requesting the certificate directly, and passing it to whoever normally reviews supplier attestations, settles the question.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.qbiedl9sebog\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c2\">Where Data Is Stored, and How Long It Is Kept<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Storage location is the item most likely to come back from a legal or compliance reviewer, particularly for public-sector and healthcare buyers in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c10\">Gausium&#8217;s privacy policy states that users <\/span><span class=\"c2\">can choose the cloud server area where their personal information is stored, based on their location<\/span><span class=\"c3\">. The policy is short enough to read in full, and it is the text to quote in an assessment. The provisioned region, and whether it can be changed later, are then worth confirming in the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">The same policy describes the retention period for personal information as running until the account is cancelled, and states that personal information is deleted after cancellation, except where a defined retention period is required by applicable laws and regulations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c10\">On requests to access, correct, or delete personal information, it states that <\/span><span class=\"c12 c2\">verified requests are processed within five working days, and that in special circumstances a response is provided within a maximum of thirty days or the period set by applicable law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">A privacy policy of this kind is written around the personal information handled through the account and the mobile app. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c2\">Storage location and retention for robot-generated data \u2014 floor maps, camera and sensor recordings, task history \u2014 is a separate question, and a written answer per data category is more useful than an inference drawn from a privacy policy.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">It is also worth asking what happens to each category at the end of a contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.y58gbingk9g0\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">The Security Measures Behind the Platform<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">A named set of measures is more useful in an assessment than a general assurance, because each item can be checked against the buyer&#8217;s own policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c10\">Gausium&#8217;s privacy policy states that industry standard security measures are used to protect the personal information provided, and names <\/span><span class=\"c2\">firewall protection, encryption such as SSL, de-identification or anonymization, and access control measures.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0The policy text is the reference point, and that level of specificity is a reasonable expectation of any manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Two follow-up questions turn a named list into usable evidence:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c6 lst-kix_8rm30vw3pim1-0 start\">\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c3\">Which of these measures apply to the fleet management platform, as distinct from the mobile app?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c3\">Who holds administrative access to the account, and how is that access logged?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.dlkp3u6qkocy\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">What Certification Does Not Cover<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Three gaps recur in cleaning robot tenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c2\">Product marks are not security statements.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0A safety or radio-compliance mark confirms that a machine meets product conformity requirements. It does not address how data is stored, transmitted, or shared, and it does not substitute for an information security certificate. Where a mark is offered in this context, the standard it certifies and that standard&#8217;s scope are worth reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c2\">Certification covers the system, not every release.<\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0An audited management system supports secure development, but it does not certify each firmware version, which is why vulnerability handling belongs in the assessment separately. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c10\">Gausium publishes platform advisories on its<\/span><span class=\"c10\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/cybersecurity-notifications\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/cybersecurity-notifications\/\">cybersecurity notifications page<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">, and how customers are informed when an advisory is issued is a fair question to put to any manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c2\">Physical safety is a separate assessment track.<\/span><span class=\"c10\">\u00a0Obstacle avoidance, emergency stop behavior, and safe operation around people are assessed against a different family of standards, covered in<\/span><span class=\"c10\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/2024\/03\/12\/gausiums-guide-to-commercial-cleaning-robot-safety-demystifying-iso-and-iec-standards\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/2024\/03\/12\/gausiums-guide-to-commercial-cleaning-robot-safety-demystifying-iso-and-iec-standards\/\">Gausium&#8217;s guide to commercial cleaning robot safety<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Keeping the two tracks separate in an evaluation matrix prevents one from absorbing the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.dv738odzc2su\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Writing Data Security Into the Procurement Requirement<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Data security often arrives late in cleaning robot procurement, after candidate models have been shortlisted on cleaning performance.

ISO\/IEC 27701 adds privacy controls for personal data, and it is usually the standard that satisfies a data protection reviewer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Q2: Does a CE or FCC Mark Cover Data Security?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">No. Those marks address product safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Storage arrangements for robot-generated map and sensor data are confirmed during deployment planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Q5: How Are Data Access and Deletion Requests Handled?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Gausium&#8217;s privacy policy states that verified requests are processed within five working days, extending to a maximum of thirty days in special circumstances, and that data required to be retained by law is kept after account cancellation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;\"><span class=\"c12 c2\">Q6: What Should a Procurement Requirement Cover?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Certification with scope statements and edition, the storage region and whether it is selectable, retention periods per data category including map and sensor data, and a data processing agreement for the relevant jurisdiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c15\" id=\"h.joq18f9nul9p\" style=\"font-size:28px;\"><span class=\"c2 c12\">Sources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c5\"><span class=\"c3\">Where a statement above is attributed to a policy or an announcement, the source text below is the version to rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"c6 lst-kix_pmvwbbhezt3b-0 start\">\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/27001\">ISO\/IEC 27001 \u2014 Information security management systems<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the requirements an audited management system is certified against.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/27701\">ISO\/IEC 27701:2025 \u2014 Privacy information management systems<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the current edition, published October 2025.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/71670.html\">ISO\/IEC 27701:2019<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the earlier edition that certificates in circulation were issued against.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/iaf.nu\/en\/about\/\">International Accreditation Forum<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the body that publishes transition requirements for revised management system standards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukas.com\/\">UKAS<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 the national accreditation body behind Gausium&#8217;s ISO\/IEC 27701 certification.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/news\/gausium-receives-first-ukas-accredited-iso-iec-277012019-certification-issued-by-sgs-china\/\">Gausium ISO\/IEC 27701 certification announcement<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 issuing body, accreditation, and scope as announced.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/privacy-policy\/\">Gausium privacy policy<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 server area selection, security measures, request handling, and retention.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"c1 li-bullet-0\"><span class=\"c4\"><a class=\"c8\" href=\"https:\/\/gausium.com\/cybersecurity-notifications\/\">Gausium cybersecurity notifications<\/a><\/span><span class=\"c3\">\u00a0\u2014 where platform security advisories are published.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"c9\"><span class=\"c3\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A commercial cleaning robot is a networked device.
