Physical security in Norway’s data center sector is increasingly shaped by the country’s treatment of data centers as an important component of national digital infrastructure. Norway’s National Security Authority (NSM) has specifically highlighted that physical compromise of a server or other data center equipment can result in the loss or compromise of the underlying information and has recommended stronger requirements for the physical and logical security of data centers.

Norwegian operators therefore employ multiple layers of security rather than relying on a single access barrier. At facilities such as Green Mountain, physical protection includes perimeter barriers, continuous security personnel, extensive video surveillance, electronic access control, biometric identification, and mantrap entrances. Access to customer data rooms is controlled separately, with operator personnel generally requiring customer approval; requests are monitored and logged.

The Norwegian approach also places greater emphasis on controlled security zones and personnel authorization for facilities handling sensitive or critical information. NSM guidance calls for controlled areas where access by people, vehicles, and activities can be managed through physical barriers, gates, access controls, cameras, sensors, and security personnel. For higher-security zones, permanent access may be restricted to appropriately cleared and authorized personnel, while temporary visitors are recorded and escorted.

For Norway's increasingly strategic data center market, physical security therefore extends beyond conventional perimeter protection to include customer-level segregation, controlled access to server and network rooms, personnel authorization, continuous monitoring, and protection against insider access and supply-chain-related risks. NSM's more recent guidance also emphasizes Norwegian location, control over system-management personnel, supply-chain ownership, and adequate security barriers between customers sharing infrastructure when national control is important.

IT and Telecommunication is Anticipated to be the Fastest Growing Segment

  • Information and communication technology (ICT) is a rapidly growing industry that is becoming increasingly important to Norwegian trade. ICT businesses include everything from labor-intensive companies that focus on home-grown products to selling consulting services. As this sector expands and new industries and segments of society start using ICT products, it is expected to play a larger role in economic growth in the coming years.
  • Norway has a number of well-established ICT environments. ICT companies are typically knowledge-intensive, and most are small and medium-sized enterprises. However, several large players in the telecommunications and satellite communications sector also exist. The telecommunications industry makes up the bulk of Norway's ICT industry. Norway's professional telecommunications community adheres to the highest international standards. Telenor, by far and away the country's largest ICT company, is the predominant telecommunications operator, with an 80% market share in traditional telephony (in terms of number of traffic minutes).
  • Furthermore, about 86% of users accessed the internet every day using their smartphones in Norway in 2021, compared to about 85% in 2018 and 74% in 2016. As of 2021, the users aged between 16 and 19 comprised about 99%, followed by 96% belonging to the age group of 20-24 and 25 to 44, highlighting how the young and mature audience both contribute significantly to the overall smartphone adoption.
  • Data consumption through smartphones increased over the historical period in Norway. A major data consumption increase was observed around 2020 as the number of smart cities in the country increased from 6 to 14 within two years since 2018. Since about 98.9% of the energy consumed in the country is sourced from renewable resources, it may lead to more smart cities, paving the way for the broader implementation of IoT and other smart technologies. The increased usage of smartphones for app-based remote control of these smart systems may contribute heavily to data consumption.
