Swedish keyless solution transforms data management in AWS and GDPR compliance.

Case study:

Continuing to be innovative and leveraging the opportunities with AWS requires managing complex data protection regulations and regulatory requirements.

This case study highlights how Scrive successfully combines innovation in digitization with strict compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.

Background and Market Position:

Since its inception in 2010, Scrive has quickly become a leading player in digitization, with a focus on automating business processes through electronic signatures. As pioneers in the use of blockchain technology to ensure document integrity, this innovation has contributed to the company's success and growth. Today, over 10,000 customers in more than 50 countries rely on their solutions, underscoring their global reach and reliability.

The customer's need to offer services across multiple regions while simultaneously complying with laws and regulatory requirements.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is comprehensive legislation within the EU aimed at strengthening and harmonizing data protection for all individuals within the European Union. It is important to understand the basic requirements that GDPR imposes on the handling of personal data to ensure compliance and protect individuals' privacy.

Data protection principles

GDPR is built on important principles that must be considered when handling personal data:

Legality, fairness, and transparency: Personal data should be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.
Purpose limitation: Data should be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
Data minimization: The collected data should be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.

Accuracy: Personal data should be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
Limitation of storage: Personal data should be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed.
Integrity and confidentiality: Personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security.

Data transfers and approved safeguards

For companies transferring personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA area, GDPR imposes additional requirements. Such transfers may only occur to countries deemed to have an adequate level of data protection or through the use of approved safeguards.

Encryption of data in AWS compliant with GDPR and the principle of Swedish sovereignty.

The importance of GDPR compliance and data protection in Amazon Web Services (AWS):

The organization faces the challenge of ensuring the highest level of data protection for its customers, in accordance with the strict requirements of GDPR. The use of the AWS platform to handle and store sensitive customer data requires robust security measures to comply with these regulations.

Swedish sovereignty:

Managing data and personal information securely is a central challenge for companies, especially when it comes to complying with both international and national standards. For Swedish companies, demonstrating Swedish sovereignty in data protection is becoming increasingly important. This means that companies must be able to demonstrate that they protect customer information in a way that not only meets standards like GDPR but also Swedish security standards and legal requirements.

This challenge becomes even more complex in a world where data management often involves cloud services and cross-border data flows. Swedish companies face the need to implement robust security measures and assurances to ensure that data management respects Swedish sovereignty.

How does Complior meet the customer's needs:

The customer's primary need is to ensure full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to maintain a high level of infrastructure security while managing and storing sensitive personal data, especially on a cloud-based platform like AWS.

To meet these requirements, we offer a solution that includes:

Advanced encryption and secure key management:

By using the combination of HSM (Hardware Security Module) and KMS (Key Management Service) with AWS XKS, we create secure encryption keys within local data centers in Sweden. These keys are then used to secure information within AWS. This ensures that the encryption of personal data meets GDPR requirements, even when transferring to and from American cloud services.

Regulatory compliant cloud service:

We have established a Swedish cloud service that meets strict regulatory requirements and ensures effective information containment. This provides an additional level of security and maintains Swedish sovereignty, which is crucial for customers operating within specific legal frameworks.

Ensuring future-proof data management, even in public clouds:

Our services focus on ensuring that all information management, especially within public cloud environments, fully complies with Swedish laws and security principles. We offer a solution that protects customer data in the best possible way while meeting the high standards required for information security.

Through these services, we not only meet the customer's current needs but also address the future challenges in a rapidly changing digital world. Our commitment to security, privacy, and compliance is at the core of our solution, helping the customer navigate complex regulations while maintaining efficiency and trust in their business processes.
