- without risking a breach of GDPR?
A school in a small municipality in central Sweden is facing major challenges in handling digital information relating to pupils since the General Data Protection Regulation* came into force on 25 May 2018. Article 48 (General Data Protection Regulation) clearly states that personal data may not be disclosed to third countries unless there is an international agreement (e.g. CLOUD Act).
The municipality already has existing services for communication between pupils and teachers (Google Apps, Office 365) and services for communication between parents and teachers (Schoolsoft, etc.). However, when it comes to sharing information such as pupil development, medical information, special diet, protected identity and special needs between teachers, counsellors, school nurses, social services, child and adolescent psychiatry and others, a good tool is lacking.
How can a municipality/school share both sensitive and non-sensitive information without risking a breach of the GDPR?
Solution:
Storegate - Access, collaborate and share files with full control.
- Avoid storing data in a way that contravenes the GDPR by using a Swedish cloud service.
- Sensitive information is protected.
- Avoid investing in and managing your own infrastructure.
