Taking on the challenge, Digitalizing Information Security
Taking on the Challenge
Like many other regions and municipalities, Region Västernorrland had handled their classification of information using Klassa. Whilst working with change management, the region realized the importance and benefits of an IT support system to properly manage their Information Security Management System (ISMS). The system had to be flexible and user friendly so it could be used without external support. One requirement was that the support system could be set up in their internal IT environment. A second requirement was that the new support system has to reflect the tasks that need to be addressed as per implemented ISMS.
Benefits
“The iFACTS product proposition is modular, you can start small and grow… The software simplifies the work and the region estimates that it can reduce time spent on information classification with up to 80%. Beyond this, requirements can now be much more specific to our organization.”
-Mårten Frosth, CISO and Deputy Chief of Security Protection, Region Västernorrland.
iFACTS solution
iFACTS software solution is modular and can be installed both on premise or offered as a cloud service. Working from a customer centric perspective, iFACTS software uses configurable portals giving a fully customizable solution, tailored for each customer’s context. It is possible to implement access permissions for different users and/or user groups. iFACTS software offers two factor authentication with open API:s, which made it simple to integrate the software into the Region´s IT-infrastructure. During the entire implementation iFACTS supported the customer to ensure a smooth process.
Background
Region Västernorrland started their transformation journey in conjunction with an overview of their management system. Taking two years, the project resulted in new comprehensive requirements within the organization, which identified the need for a support system to simplify and improve the risk management process. The region’s CISO then researched and evaluated different available vendors with a clear vision on what criterias that needed to be fulfilled.
Customer
Region Västernorrland is Sweden’s 6th biggest region per area with approximately 250 000 residents. The region is of strategic importance for the Swedish armed forces and is also a part of one of the largest infrastructure projects in Sweden, the Botnia line. The region has a flourishing tourism industry offering visitors beautiful landscapes. Here you can also find, considered by some, one of the best whiskey distilleries in Scandinavia.

E-services with automated case handling at Svenska Kommun Försäkrings AB
iFACTS, in collaboration with Swedish Municipal Insurance Ltd, has launched an e-service and automated process for damage registration and supplementation for private individuals in SKFAB’s Swedish municipalities. The e-service is integrated with iFACTS’ insurance and claims management system, INSMAN.
The system makes automated decisions in cases where there is sufficient information, allowing claims handlers to focus on cases that require further investigation and ensuring that claimants receive feedback and compensation more quickly.
“Loss prevention is an important part of the insurance process. There is a need to exchange information such as risk grading, technical data and values.”
Ola Nilsson, Vice president at Essity Risk management
“Using our own system gives us the power over the information; we can control the data and perform analysis in a better way. We have control over the process and are able to follow the progression of work.
“Potential differences in data between systems are caught at an early stage.”
Vattenfall Insurance wants to structure and streamline their workflow between claim management in INSMAN and the accounting in an external system. Routines are reliable and standardized, improved traceability throughout the complete solution is strengthened.
“Goal to move towards a fully digitalized process.”
A great change is to replace the physical claim files with digital versions. All claim handlers have access to a structured document handling module, ensuring full traceability and full order in the often-hefty document collection.
