How to use ZONESCAN safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Ask the provider explicitly where data is stored and processed.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: water management is critical infrastructure: water boards and drinking water companies fall under the NIS2 rules (in the Netherlands, the Cybersecurity Act), and an AI system running as a safety component in water management may count as high risk under the EU AI Act.

Questions

How safe is ZONESCAN for water management?
ZONESCAN publishes limited privacy safeguards. Ask the provider for clarification before you put confidential water management data into it. Limited or partly unknown safeguards, check with the provider.
Does ZONESCAN train on my data?
no language model; the AI Predictor is trained on a proprietary database of manually classified leak sounds and runs in the cloud (ZONESCAN NET), with loggers sending data via NB-IoT. Data on servers of hosting partners in the EU or the US; ISO 27001 still pending and penetration test carried out (according to the April 2025 datasheet). Swiss company with offices in Germany.
What should I look out for with AI in water management?
Water management is critical infrastructure: water boards and drinking water companies fall under the NIS2 rules (in the Netherlands, the Cyber Security Act), and an AI system that runs as a safety component in water management may count as high risk under the AI Act. So ask about certification, data storage and who keeps control during an outage. HULO is ISO 27001 certified, holds the SC30 NIS2 mark, stores data in the client's region and does not train on client data. TaKaDu (Spain) is ISO 27001 certified. KISTERS WISKI can run on-premise. With many other providers, such as Qatium, Siemens and FIDO Tech, the hosting location is not publicly stated: record it in the data processing agreement. Personal data mainly sits in consumption data from smart water meters; keep it separate from network data where possible.
