Several authorities supervise Findata’s operation to ensure that the granting of data permits and the processing of data are carried out in accordance with the law.
Key supervisory bodies include:
- Data Protection Ombudsman, who supervises the processing of personal data and compliance with data protection legislation
- Parliamentary Ombudsman, who oversees the lawfulness of authorities’ activities
- Finnish Supervisory Agency, who supervises secure processing environments
In addition, Findata’s operation is guided and developed by a steering group appointed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, which includes representatives from the ministry and data controllers.
