arkkitehtuuripäätösrekisteriä

Arkkitehtuuripäätösrekisteri, literally translating to "decision register of architecture" in Finnish, is a digital repository used in Finland for documenting and securing architectural decisions related to government level projects and systems.

The register was established to meet the requirements outlined in the Information Security Act of Finland, which obliges authorities to document and approve architectural decisions made regarding critical government information systems. The purpose of the register is to ensure that these decisions are transparent, traceable, and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Entries in the arkkitehtuuripäätösrekisteri include detailed information about the decision-making process, including the justification for the chosen architecture, the entities involved, and any supporting documentation. This provides an auditable record of how decisions were reached and helps to ensure accountability.

The security and integrity of stored information are prioritized to meet the requirements of a secure environment for critical government systems. Procedure for maintaining, updating, and accessing the register have been put in place by the responsible authorities.

The implementation of the arkkitehtuuripäätösrekisteri supports the secure design and development of government level projects, promoting availability, integrity, and confidentiality of information handled by the said systems, which aligns with the country's stance on information security.
