IV members can now store and share securely in a Swedish cloud
More and more companies and associations are realizing the importance of adapting their operations to the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR). Requirements that for many can feel like a tangled jungle, but which are intended to protect, limit and give individuals control over their personal data. Idéburen Välfärd has now signed a framework agreement with Storegate to make it easy and secure for its members to store files that comply with GDPR.
Idéburen Välfärd is a national trade organization for independent and non-profit preschools in Sweden. The preschools’ management and administrative functions handle both sensitive and non-sensitive personal data. This can range from children’s allergies, special diets due to religious affiliation, protected address information to something as simple as social security numbers and ordinary residential addresses.
We see that many people choose to send unencrypted emails to our members containing personal data and other information that should not be there. This is something we cannot support and have therefore chosen to give our members an alternative to collecting and sharing information digitally in a secure way, says Mimmi von Troil, CEO, Idéburen Välfärd. “The fact that we then negotiated a good offer with Swedish support we see as a plus.

The service provides a GDPR-safe and easy collaboration tool for documents and images. Members get a single place for pictures, teachers’ folders, planning, pictures, weekly letters and more. Storegate enables multi-level collaboration in a smooth way between principals, departments and the board.
Today, many schools and municipalities use services that do not meet the requirements of the GDPR when information is sent between them, and there is great uncertainty about who and which providers in the public cloud can be trusted. The fact that Fria förskolor chooses Storegate in times like these, when the debate about Facebook and Google is at its peak in the media, is proof of the need for a Swedish cloud service.
