Section 6 of the Criminal Data Act (2018: 1177): 1. The Swedish Customs should regularly evaluate the effectiveness of those taken security measures to detect personal data incidents and revise these as necessary to maintain adequate protection of personal data. 2. The Swedish Customs should review the authority's routines for logging and log follow-up and update these in accordance with current criminal law. 3. The Swedish Customs should draw up a single document with written guidelines or routines for handling personal data incidents. 4. The Swedish Customs should regularly check the procedures for handling personal data incidents are followed. 5. The Swedish Customs should in the authority's routines for handling personal data incidents specify which data of a occurred incident to be documented and regularly check that the procedures for documentation of personal data incidents are followed. 6. The Swedish Customs should provide its employees with ongoing information and recurring training in the handling of personal data incidents and on the reporting obligation. The Data Inspectorate closes the case. The Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 3 (15) Report on the supervisory matter The obligation for the personal data controller - ie. private and public actors - to report certain personal data incidents to the Data Inspectorate was introduced on 25 May 2018 by the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 1 A corresponding notification obligation was introduced on 1 August 2018 in the Criminal Data Act (BDL) for so-called competent authorities. The obligation to report personal data incidents (hereinafter referred to as incidents) aims to strengthen privacy protection by the Data Inspectorate receiving information about the incident and may choose to take action when the inspectorate deems it necessary is needed for the personal data controller to handle the incident on one satisfactorily and take steps to prevent something similar occurs again. A personal data incident is according to ch. § 6 BDL a security incident that leads to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration; or unauthorized disclosure of or unauthorized access to personal data. IN the preparatory work for the law states that it is usually a question of an unplanned event that adversely affects the security of personal data and which have serious consequences for the protection of data. And 3 personal data incident may, for example, be that personal data has been sent to the wrong recipient, that access to the personal data has been lost, that computer equipment that stores personal data has been lost or stolen, that someone inside or outside the organization takes part in information like that lacks authority to. A personal data incident that is not dealt with quickly and appropriately can entail risks to the data subject's rights or freedoms. An incident can lead to physical, material or intangible damage through, for example 1 REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on that free flow of such data and repealing Directive 95/46 / EC (General Data Protection Regulation). 2 A competent authority is in accordance with ch. § 6 BDL an authority that deals personal data for the purpose of preventing, deterring or detecting criminal activities, investigating or prosecute crimes, enforce criminal penalties or maintain public order; and security. 3 Prop.2017 / 18: 232 p. 438Datainspektionen DI-2019-13112 4 (15) discrimination, identity theft, identity fraud, damage to reputation, financial loss and breach of confidentiality or secrecy. There can be many reasons why a personal data incident occurs. Of The Swedish Data Inspectorate's report series Reported personal data incidents under The period May 2018 - December 2019 shows that the most common causes behind the reported incidents were i.a. the human factor, technical errors, antagonistic attacks and shortcomings in organizational routines or processes. 4 The Data Inspectorate has initiated this supervisory case against the Swedish Customs with the aim of check if the authority has procedures in place to detect personal data incidents and whether the authority has and has had routines for to handle personal data incidents according to the Criminal Data Act (BDL). IN the review also includes checking whether the Swedish Customs has routines for documentation of incidents that meet the requirements of the Criminal Data Ordinance (BDF) and whether the authority has implemented information and training initiatives on personal data incidents. The inspection began with a letter to the Swedish Customs on 4 December 2019 and was followed up with a request for supplementation on 4 March 2020 response to the supervisory letter was received on 17 January 2020 and the supplement received on March 19, 2020. Applicable regulations According to ch. 3, the person responsible for personal data must § 2 BDL, by appropriate technical and organizational measures, ensure and be able to demonstrate that the processing of personal data is in accordance with the constitution and that it data subjects' rights are protected. This means that competent authorities, Using these measures, should not just ensure that the data protection regulations are followed but must also be able to show that this is the case. Which technical and organizational measures required to protect personal data is regulated in ch. 8 § BDL. 4See the Swedish Data Inspectorate's report series on Reported Personal Data Incidents 2018 (Datainspektionens rapport 2019: 1) p 7 f; Reported personal data incidents January- September 2019 (Datainspektionen's report 2019: 3) p.10 f. and Reported personal data incidents 2019 (Datainspektionens rapport 2020: 2) p. 12 f.Datainspektionen DI-2019-13112 5 (15) In the preparatory work for the law, it is stated that organizational measures referred to in section 2 are i.a. to have internal strategies for data protection, to inform and educate staff and to ensure a clear division of responsibilities. Measures such as taken to show that the treatment is in accordance with the constitution, e.g. be documentation of IT systems, treatments and measures taken and technical traceability through logging and log monitoring. What measures to be taken may be decided after an assessment in each individual case. The measures shall reviewed and updated as needed. The measures it personal data controller shall take in accordance with this provision shall in accordance with ch. § 1 BDF be reasonable taking into account the nature, scope of treatment, context and purpose and the specific risks of the treatment. Of ch. 3 Section 8 of the BDL states that the person responsible for personal data must take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect them personal data processed, in particular against unauthorized or unauthorized use treatment and against loss, destruction or other unintentional damage. IN The preparatory work for the Criminal Data Act states that security must include access protection for equipment, control of data media, storage control, user control, access control, communication control, input control, transport control, restoration, reliability and data integrity. This enumeration, however, is not exhaustive. As an example of organizational security measures include the establishment of a security policy, security controls and follow-up, computer security training and information on the importance of following current safety procedures. Routines for reporting and follow-up of personal data incidents also constitute such 6 measures. What circumstances should be taken into account in order to achieve an appropriate level of protection is regulated in ch. 11 § BDF. The measures must achieve a level of safety appropriate taking into account the technical possibilities, the costs of the measures, the nature, scope, context and purpose of the treatment, and the specific risks of treatment. Special consideration should be given in which the extent to which sensitive personal data is processed and how sensitive to privacy other personal data that is processed is. Violation of provisions of 5 Prop. 2017/18: 232 pp. 453 6Prop. 2017/18: 232 pp. 457 7Prop. 2017/18: 232 p. 189 f.Datainspektionen DI-2019-13112 6 (15) Chapter 3 2 and 8 §§ BDL can lead to penalty fees according to ch. 1 § 2 BDL. According to ch. 3, the person responsible for personal data must § 14 BDF document all personal data incidents. The documentation must report the circumstances about the incident, its effects and the measures taken as a result of that. The person responsible for personal data must document all that occurred incidents regardless of whether it must be reported to the Data Inspectorate or not. 8 The documentation must enable the supervisory authority to: check compliance with the provision in question. Failure to documenting personal data incidents can lead to penalty fees according to ch. 6 1 § BDL. A personal data incident must also, according to ch. § 9 BDL, notified to The Data Inspectorate no later than 72 hours after the person responsible for personal data become aware of the incident. A report does not need to be made if it is it is unlikely that the incident has or will entail any risk for undue invasion of the data subject's privacy. Of ch. 3 § 10 BDL states that the person responsible for personal data must in certain cases inform it registered affected by the incident. Failure to report one personal data incident to the Data Inspectorate can lead to administrative sanction fees according to ch. 6 1 § BDL. 9 Grounds for the decision The Data Inspectorate's review In this supervisory matter, the Data Inspectorate has to take a position on the Swedish Customs has documented procedures for detecting personal data incidents according to the Criminal Data Act and whether the authority has and has had routines for dealing with it incidents since the BDL came into force. The review also includes the question of compliance with the requirement for documentation of incidents in ch. 14 § BDF In addition, the Data Inspectorate must decide whether the Swedish Customs has implemented information and training initiatives for their employees with a focus on handling of personal data incidents according to BDL. 8 Prop. 2017/18: 232 pp. 198 9 Liability for violations is strict. Thus, neither intent nor negligence is required to it must be possible to charge a penalty fee, see bill. 2017/18: 232 p. 481.Datainspektionen DI-2019-13112 7 (15) The review does not include the content of the routines or training efforts but is focused on verifying that the reviewing authority has routines on site and that it has implemented training initiatives for employees regarding personal data incidents. The review includes however, if the authority's routines contain instructions to document them information required by the Criminal Data Regulation. Routines for detecting personal data incidents The personal data that competent authorities handle within the framework of their law enforcement and crime investigation activities are to a large extent of sensitive and privacy sensitive nature. The nature of the business is high requirements on the ability of law enforcement agencies to protect them information was registered through necessary protection measures to e.g. prevent an incident from occurring. The obligation to report personal data incidents according to ch. 9 § BDL shall be construed in the light of the general requirements to take appropriate technical and organizational measures, to ensure appropriate security for personal data, which is prescribed in ch. 2 and 8 §§. An ability to fast Detecting and reporting an incident is a key factor. Because they law enforcement agencies must be able to live up to the reporting requirement, they must have internal routines and technical capabilities for to detect an incident. Based on the needs of the business and with the support of risk and vulnerability analyzes competent authorities can identify the areas where there is a greater risk that an incident may occur. Based on the analyzes, the authorities can then use various instruments to detect a security threat. These can be both technical and organizational measures. The starting point is that they the safety measures taken must provide adequate protection and that incidents do not should occur. Examples of technical measures include intrusion detectors as automatic analyzes and detects data breaches and the use of log analysis tool to detect unauthorized access (log deviations). An increased insight into the business' "normal" network traffic patterns help identify things that deviate from the normal the traffic picture vis-à-vis, for example, servers, applications or data files.Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 8 (15) Organizational measures can, for example, be the adoption of internal strategies for data protection relating to internal rules, guidelines, routines and different types of control documents and policy documents. Guidelines and rules for handling 11 personal data, routines for incident management and log follow-up constitute examples of such strategies. Periodic follow-up of assigned authorizations is another example of organizational measures. In a competent authority, there shall be procedures for allocation, change, removal and regular verification of authorizations. Information for and training of personnel if the rules and routines for incident management to be followed are also examples of such measures. The Data Inspectorate's assessment The Swedish Customs has mainly stated the following. The authority has detailed routines and guidelines for following up the processing of personal data in The Swedish Customs' IT system for law enforcement activities. Through logging and systematic log follow-up, the Swedish Customs can detect unauthorized persons activity in their IT systems. Information is available on the authority's intranet i.a. security logging and how the security logging is followed up to. In the Swedish Customs' supplementary answer, reference is made to the authority's internal rule on follow-up of processing of personal data in the Swedish Customs' IT system for law enforcement activities (STY 2015-99) and to the authority supporting document for Guidance on follow-up of treatment of personal data in the Swedish Customs' IT system for law enforcement activities (VER 2015-489) submitted. It also appears that technical solutions for to counteract and detect IT and information security incidents, including personal data incidents, is protection against malicious code on clients (servers and work computers), next-generation firewalls to detect network threats and SIEM solution for analyzing network and IT threats system. 10 Criminal Data Act - Partial report of the Inquiry into the 2016 Data Protection Directive Stockholm 2017, SOU 2017: 29 pp. 302 11 Competent authorities must ensure that there are routines for log follow-up, see Bill. 2017/18: 232 pp. 455 f. 12 Chapter 3 § 6 BDL and supplementary provisions in ch. 6 § BDF 13 A SIEM solution collects log data from the network, extracts meaningful information from the logs, compare different events to detect attack patterns and help search log data for causal analysis, which provides an in-depth insight into what is happening in the network. Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 9 (15) With regard to mobile phones, these are handled by security programs that comply The Swedish Customs' requirements for handling information of high protection value. Security programs can, for example, identify harmful behaviors on mobile phones such as improper access to data and taking various actions depending on the dignity of the error. Examples of measures can be lockout from internal applications, selective deletion of internal data or factory reset. Regarding organizational measures, the Swedish Customs refers to the authority's governing document STY 2019-273, Internal rule for operational protection, in which i.a. states that if a service card or IT equipment has been lost or has been used by someone else, this must be reported urgently to IT support. After that, the IT security function should be immediate informed. The investigation shows that the Swedish Customs has carried out training and information efforts. All employees must undergo a mandatory online introductory course on personal data processing which includes information on personal data incidents and on reporting obligations. The Data Inspectorate can state that the Swedish Customs has routines for detecting personal data incidents on site. The Data Inspectorate notes, however, that they documents regarding logging and log follow-up that the Swedish Customs refers to, i.e. the authority's intranet, STY 2015-99 and VER 2015-489, is based on the Personal Data Act (1998: 204) and has not been updated in accordance with current law data protection legislation for law enforcement activities. The Data Inspectorate considers that this justifies a review of these procedures. The Data Inspectorate therefore recommends, with the support of ch. § 6 BDL, att The Swedish Customs reviews the authority's routines for logging and log follow-up and updates these in accordance with applicable data protection laws for law enforcement activities. The obligation to take security measures to detect personal data incidents are not linked to a specific time but the measures shall be continuously reviewed and, if necessary, changed. For the Swedish Customs to be able to maintain an adequate level of protection of personal data over time recommends the Data Inspectorate, with the support of ch. § 6 BDL, att the authority regularly evaluates the effectiveness of those taken security measures to detect personal data incidents and that the authority, if necessary, updates these.Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 1 0 (15) Routines for handling personal data incidents In order to be able to live up to the requirements for organizational measures in ch. § 8 BDL, the person responsible for personal data must have documented internal routines such as describes the process to be followed when an incident has been detected or occurred, including how the incident is to be limited, managed and restored, and how the risk assessment is to be carried out and how the incident is to be reported internally and to the Data Inspectorate. The routines must state, among other things: what a personal data incident is / can be, when an incident needs to be reported, and to whom, what is to be documented, the division of responsibilities and which information that should be provided in the context of notification to The Data Inspectorate. The Data Inspectorate's control of routines for handling personal data incidents refer to the time from the entry into force of the Criminal Data Act i.e. on August 1, 2018. The Data Inspectorate's assessment The Swedish Customs has i.a. stated the following. The authority has routines / guidelines for to report personal data incidents and information on this can be found at the authority's intranet. Information on the intranet shows that personal data incidents are categorized as one information security incident which must be reported to IT support for assessment and further handling. The Swedish Customs has also submitted the authority's temporary routine for handling personal data incidents dated 2019-04-29 and a description of how IT support should register reported personal data incidents. In the Swedish Customs' supplementary answer the authority has clarified that similar temporary routines for handling personal data incidents were in place already in April 2018 and that these was updated in April 2019. Any further update of the routines has has not happened since. The Swedish Customs also states that there is nothing produced control documents that specifically address personal data incidents and refers to the authority's governing document STY 2019-785 which contains a routine for handling information and IT security-related incidents and problems. In cases where personal data is affected in an incident shall the incident according to the control document is reported via IT support. Taking into account the documents submitted and what has emerged in the case, the Data Inspectorate initially states that the Swedish Customs from the time when the Criminal Data Act came into force has had and has routines for the Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 1 1 (15) handle personal data incidents on site. Of the review, however, it has it has emerged that the Swedish Customs' routines are found in various documents and contain different parts of the routines. For example, the Swedish Customs' intranet shows information about what a personal data incident is and how an incident should be reported and in the authority's temporary routines for handling personal data incidents, you can read about the division of responsibilities and the process for handling personal data incidents. The Data Inspectorate also notes that the Swedish Customs does not have a produced control document specifically for handling personal data incidents. It can according to The Data Inspectorate's opinion entails a problem with disseminated information and risk of slow incident management. The Data Inspectorate therefore recommends, with the support of ch. § 6 BDL, att The Swedish Customs prepares a single document with written guidelines or routines for handling personal data incidents. To be able to handle discovered personal data incidents in a correct way and counteract its effects and risks on the data subjects' personalities Integrity is important. The Data Inspectorate therefore recommends, with the support of Chapter 5 § 6 BDL, that the Swedish Customs regularly checks that the routines for handling of personal data incidents is followed. Routines for documentation of personal data incidents A prerequisite for the Data Inspectorate to be able to check compliance with the documentation requirement of incidents in ch. § 14 BDF is that the documentation includes certain information that should always be included. The documentation shall include all details of the incident, including its reasons, what happened and the personal data concerned. It should too contain the consequences of the incident and the corrective actions taken personal data controller. The Data Inspectorate's assessment The Swedish Customs has mainly stated the following. A case, such as one personal data incident, documented in JIRA Service desk. The report on the investigation of personal data incident is saved. External communication with The data inspection is saved in the diary during the diary series VER. By the authority intranet states that the Swedish Customs must document everyone personal data incidents and at the same time a description of which appears information and circumstances of a personal data incident such as the Data Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 1 2 (15) the documentation shall include. The Swedish Customs has also produced a template for reporting and investigation of personal data incidents where one appears detailed description of an incident that occurred and what to do documented. The template is intended to serve as a support in the investigation and as an internal documentation when the investigation is completed. The Data Inspectorate states that the Swedish Customs has an internal IT system to i.a. report incidents involving personal data. In addition, it appears from the authority's intranet that all personal data incidents must be documented and what information the documentation must include. In addition, the authority has produced a template for reporting and investigation of personal data incidents that meet the requirements of the person in question the provision. The Data Inspectorate notes, however, that the Swedish Customs' routines for handling of personal data incidents lacks a description of which information to be covered by the documentation. To be able to document occurred personal data incidents correctly and thereby counteract the risk of the documentation becoming deficient or incomplete is important. Inadequate documentation can lead to incidents are not handled and remedied properly, which can get impact on privacy. The Data Inspectorate therefore recommends, with the support of ch. 5 § 6 BDL, that the Swedish Customs' routines for handling personal data incidents are supplemented with a description of which data of an incident that is to be documented. In addition, the Swedish Customs should carry out regular checks on the internal documentation of personal data incidents Information and training on personal data incidents The staff is an important resource in the security work. It's not just enough internal procedures, rules or governing documents if users do not follow them. All users must understand that the handling of personal data must take place in one go legally secure and that it is more serious not to report an incident than to report e.g. a mistake or a mistake. It is therefore required that everyone users receive adequate training and clear information on data protection. The person responsible for personal data must inform and train his staff in matters on data protection including the handling of personal data incidents. Of The Data Inspectorate's report series Reported Personal Data Incidents under the period 2018-2019 it appears that the human factor constitutes the most commonData Inspectorate DI-2019-13112 1 3 (15) 14 the cause of reported personal data incidents. These mainly consist of individuals who, consciously or unconsciously, do not follow internal routines processing of personal data or made a mistake in handling personal data. About half of the incidents are due to it The human factor is about misplaced letters and emails. In the opinion of the Data Inspectorate, this underlines the importance of internal routines and technical safety measures need to be supplemented with ongoing training, information and other measures to increase knowledge and awareness among employees. The Data Inspectorate's assessment On the question of how information and education about incidents is provided employees, the Swedish Customs has stated i.a. following. The Swedish Customs uses the tool Teacher platform where employees can complete online courses. All employees must undergo a mandatory online introductory course on personal data processing. The course component includes, among other things, training on what constitutes a personal data incident and how it should be reported internally. Information on what constitutes personal data incidents and on the importance of reporting these is also part of it basic training undergone by customs graduates in law enforcement. Furthermore, the Swedish Customs has plans for further information efforts that will be aimed at specific areas of activity. In the light of what appears from the investigation, the Data Inspectorate considers that the Swedish Customs has shown that the authority has provided information and training on handling personal data incidents to their employees. To maintain competence and ensure that new staff receive education, recurring information and education is important the employees and hired staff. The Data Inspectorate recommends, with support of ch. 5 § 6 BDL, that the Swedish Customs provides the employees with ongoing information and recurring training in the handling of personal data incidents and the obligation to report these. 14 Report 2019: 1, report 2019: 3 and report 2020: 2. MSB has drawn similar conclusions its annual report for serious IT incidents, ie. that most of the incidents are due human mistakes, see https://www.msb.se/sv/aktuellt/nyheter/2020/april/arsrapporten-for- serious-it-incidents-2019-ar-slappt / Datainspektionen DI-2019-13112 1 4 (15) This decision was made by unit manager Charlotte Waller Dahlberg after presentation by lawyer Maria Angelica Westerberg. At the final The handling of the case also has the IT security specialist Ulrika Sundling and the lawyer Jonas Agnvall participated.
