Sweden's DPA publishes DPO survey

Sweden's data protection authority, the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, released "Data Protection in Practice," a privacy operations management survey of more than 800 Swedish data protection officers. Four in 10 respondents said their companies work "continually and systematically with data protection" and half of all respondents said company management is receptive and understanding of data protection matters. IMY Analyst Andrea Amft said the survey results are "concerning" while noting DPOs require "necessary conditions and both sufficient and appropriate resources to allow them to fulfil their assignment."
