1.
Goal-setting
- Consistency
the ministries and government agencies proceed based on their respective goals and priorities . This makes it difficult to ensure that the implemented efforts are the appropriate ones for Sweden’s national information and cyber security, and that the efforts are carried out efficiently. (…) The Government’s control has therefore largely been based on separate issues that have not been valued or ranked on the basis of their benefits to Sweden as a whole.
A clear example of shortcomings in strategic considerations is Sweden’s approach to the issues within and in relation to the EU. The work in the EU is high paced and if Sweden is not engaged and influences that work early on, there is a great risk that the international regulatory framework will not favour Swedish interests to the same extent as would otherwise have been possible.
3.
Coordination
- Protocols
The exchange of information is burdened with certain legal, technical and cultural challenges. It is therefore important that the Government Offices and the government agencies find forms for addressing these challenges.
