IT systems and services are often complex. In order to create a better picture of IT incidents and their consequences, government agencies are obliged to report all serious incidents that occur to Cert-SE at MSB.

Incidents in systems that handle classified information and concern Sweden's security must be reported to the Swedish Security Service.

Anyone providing telecoms services or network connections must, by law, maintain a reasonable level of technical security in their operations. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) is the authority responsible for supervision and control.
