22 Sep 2026 Miljödata i Karlskrona AktiebolagIMY: 1.8 million SEK against HR software provider Miljödata after data leak SwedenData breaches and data security €160,053

The provider of web-based systems for sickness reporting, rehabilitation and occupational safety incidents was hacked in August 2025; the stolen personal data appeared on the dark web shortly afterwards. The Swedish data protection authority (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) found that, despite the high need for protection, there were no adequate security measures and no automatic real-time monitoring for attacks, assessed this as negligent and imposed 1,800,000 SEK.

What organisations can take from it

Service providers hosting the health and personnel data of many employers need real-time attack detection, not just perimeter protection.

16 Jun 2026 Securitas Sverige AktiebolagSecuritas Sverige: reprimand over cameras in company vehicles without legal basis SwedenVideo surveillance Reprimand or warning

The security services provider used cameras in vehicles through which personal data was processed without any legal basis for doing so. The Swedish data protection authority (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) issued a reprimand under Art. 58 GDPR; no fine was imposed.

What organisations can take from it

Dashcams in company cars also need a verified legal basis and a balancing against the interests of employees and passers-by.

26 Jan 2026 Sportadmin i Skandinavien ABSportadmin: 6 million SEK after hacker attack on club management system holding children’s data SwedenData breaches and data security €564,626

The provider of management software and an app for sports clubs suffered a data exfiltration by an external attacker in January 2025. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) found that no appropriate technical and organisational security measures were in place before and at the time of the incident, even though the data processed related predominantly to children and also included health information (allergies, disabilities), and imposed 6 million SEK; in setting the amount it took into account the 2024 group turnover of the Lime group (around 685.7 million SEK).

What organisations can take from it

Software providers that pool sensitive data from many customers must align their security level and attack surfaces with how sensitive the data is (children, health) – not only after an incident.

18 Jun 2025 Waxholms Ångfartygs AktiebolagWaxholmsbolaget: fine for processing a captain’s breathalyser test results SwedenEmployee data €6,801

The shipping company processed results of on-board breath alcohol tests that could be attributed to a complainant employed as a captain. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) regarded this as processing without a legal basis and as unlawful processing of health data and imposed 75,000 SEK.

What organisations can take from it

Monitoring data such as alcohol test results are employees’ health data – access, storage and legal basis must be settled before such tests are introduced.

16 Dec 2024 Aktiebolaget Trav och GaloppATG: reprimand over misleadingly designed cookie banner SwedenCookies and tracking Reprimand or warning

Following a complaint – one of several complaints about cookie banners lodged with European data protection authorities – the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) found that the betting operator did not make withdrawing consent as easy as giving it and, through the misleading design of the banner (choice of colours, contrast, rejection only as a link), made informed, freely given consent more difficult. IMY issued a reprimand; ATG had since changed the banner.

What organisations can take from it

Rejecting must be as easy as accepting: colour, contrast and link placement in the cookie banner must not steer the decision.

11 Dec 2024 Granit Bostad Beritsholm ABGranit Bostad Beritsholm: 200,000 SEK for round-the-clock video surveillance in a block of flats SwedenVideo surveillance €17,366

The landlord monitored a multi-family building in Malmö around the clock with cameras at entrances, lifts, flat doors, in the stairwell, the basement and the refuse room, without any legal basis for doing so; the signs did not name the controller. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) imposed 200,000 SEK and ordered the landlord to stop the surveillance except in the garage and to supplement the signs.

What organisations can take from it

Video surveillance in residential buildings requires a balancing of interests for each individual area – problems such as vandalism do not justify blanket, permanent surveillance.
