The Swedish DPA (Datainspektionen) issued a fine of approximately €392000 at the Educational Board of Stockholm after receiving many complaints that the new IT system "Skolplattformen", used for education administration, has suffered data breaches.

English Summary

Facts

"Skolplattformen" was developed by the Educational Board of Stockholm to help administrate the students and was used for the last years. In the platform there were being processed personal data of 500000 students, education personnel and students' guardians. In the platform, a lot of special categories of personal data were being processed as well as personal data protected by the Swedish Secrecy Law. Four sub-systems were found to have "weak" protection e.g. guardians could access other students' personal data, even those of students with hidden identity.

Dispute

Did the Educational Board of Stockholm breach Articles 32(1) and 35 GDPR with its new IT system which suffered data breaches?

Holding

After receiving many complaints, the Datainspektionen found that the Education Board did not apply adequate technical measures to ensure the security of personal data, which has cause to data breaches and that although the Education Board had carried out DPIAs, these DPIAs did not meet the standards of Article 35 GDPR.

Comment

Building the IT platform "Skolplattformen" was a big project and the total cost of its development costed 675 millions SEK (around €66 millions) while the operating costs were high as well. The reveal of these data breaches created a lot of frustration among Swedes, some of which see it as a bad investment of public money.

The incidents concern the School Platform, which is the IT system used for, among other things, student administration in Stockholm. The school platform contains information on upwards of 500,000 students, guardians and teachers. The system contains sensitive and privacy-sensitive information as well as information about students and teachers with confidential information or protected identity.</p><p> The authority has examined four subsystems in the School Platform and has found serious deficiencies. In one of the subsystems, shortcomings in the possibility of restricting users' access to the data have meant that large parts of the staff have had the opportunity to access data on students with protected identities. In another subsystem, guardians have been able to access other children's information on, for example, grades and development interviews in a relatively simple way. Through searches on Google, it has been possible to find links to log in to an administration interface and there come across information about teachers with protected identities.</p><p> - In an IT system like this, large amounts of personal data are handled. Then it is extremely important that the person responsible for personal data has taken sufficient security measures to protect the data and continuously ensures protection, says Ranja Bunni who is a lawyer at the Data Inspectorate and who participated in the review.</p><p> In its decision, the Data Inspectorate states that the Board of Education has not ensured an appropriate security for personal data. The Board has also not taken sufficient appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of safety that is appropriate in relation to the risk, which includes a procedure for regularly testing, examining and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical safety measures.</p><p> The Data Inspectorate issues a penalty fee of SEK 4 million for the violations that have been established. In Sweden, the maximum limit for sanction fees against authorities is SEK 10 million.</p><p> - According to the Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, penalty fees must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
