Information security work at nine agencies
Difficulties in achieving appropriate IT security Together with the Swedish NAO we assume that the picture that emerges at the agencies audited applies also to most of the other agencies in the public administration.

Much indicates that it is difficult for many agencies to achieve an appropriate level of information security work.
