Digitalsaker

Digitalsaker is a term used to describe the set of practices, policies, and technologies aimed at protecting digital information, systems, and users from unauthorized access, loss, or harm. It encompasses cybersecurity, data protection, privacy, and safe online behavior across both organizational and personal contexts.

Its scope includes governance and risk management, incident response, identity and access management, encryption, secure software development, data backup and disaster recovery, and privacy-by-design. It also covers user education, digital literacy, and the creation of organizational cultures that emphasize safety.

Threats addressed by digitalsaker include cyberattacks such as phishing, malware, ransomware, and supply-chain compromises, as well as data leaks and misuse of personal information. Defense approaches rely on defense-in-depth, zero-trust architectures, least-privilege access, regular patch management, monitoring, and rapid incident handling.

Standards and regulation commonly referenced in digitalsaker practices include the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy information management, and industry-specific standards such as PCI DSS. Organisations may tailor digitalsaker programs to legal obligations, risk profile, and technological environment.

While the term is used in Swedish and other Nordic contexts, digitalsaker is observed globally as a holistic approach rather than a single product. It applies to individuals securing personal devices as well as organizations seeking resilience against evolving digital threats.
