Roundtable Sweden: The state of privacy and data protection | Novelty
News | 2021-11-22 | 15:54
Sweden and the Netherlands have much in common. Both countries are digitizing rapidly and dedicated to making this process secure, with a strong focus on cyber security.
Particular information security is increasingly being prioritized by the Swedish public sector (local, regional and state). GDPR compliance has been an important topic in Sweden, as it poses challenges for many organizations but also creates opportunities for private companies with solutions in privacy and data protection.
For this reason, Dutch companies operating in this area see Sweden as an interesting target market.
To whom?
For Dutch and Swedish stakeholders in the cyber security market, Security Delta, InnovationQuarter, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Dutch Embassy in Stockholm are organizing a digital roundtable discussion on 7 December at 14:00 – 15:30.
In this roundtable discussion, we want to both kick-start a collaboration on cyber security between the two countries, as well as zoom in on the topic of security and integrity awareness in the public sector. This round table will thus:
- Give Dutch and Swedish cybersecurity parties a mutual understanding of the awareness of cybersecurity in each market, especially with regard to the topics data and integrity;
- Learn Dutch companies get acquainted with key organizations in the Swedish cyber security sector, including government organizations;
- Give Dutch cybersecurity companies the opportunity to talk to these organizations;
- Provide insight into specific bottlenecks in GDPR legislation and compare how, among other things, municipalities and authorities use their budgets to improve compliance, security and awareness within their organizations.
We will discuss topics such as differences in GDPR practice, success stories about compliance, but also highlight common challenges and thus opportunities for the Dutch and Swedish cyber security sector to cooperate.
