“iFACTS method support is a potent and flexible support that matches the city’s model for system inventory, classification and requirements well. It simply helps us to create order in a world that for many is perceived as complex. With the help of the iFACTS method, our system owners and managers are supported in compiling requirements without having to be IT specialists” from the information security coordinator in the city of Malmö with placement at Stadskontoret.
Background
In the City of Malmö, safety and security issues are a priority area of work. Information in all its forms plays a significant role in the city’s operations every day, all year round. This importance requires an adapted and functional approach to information security.
Information security is about the city's relationship with its information. This applies to all information that is handled, regardless of its form or channel.
Taking care of this information is not just about complying with different laws. It is a matter of self-preservation. It is also a prerequisite for maintaining continuity and trust in municipal activities.
Solution
The City of Malmö works actively with system security. They use the iFACTS method to support this work, primarily using the "Information systems" module.
iFACTS is particularly important for processing personal data. This includes data for both the municipality's employees and the citizens who depend on its functions. The system provides a systematic way to handle data processing registers. It also allows the city to perform necessary data impact assessments.
