The Swedish Data Protection Authority imposes an administrative fine of 200,000 Swedish kronor (approximately 18,700 euro) on the National Government Service Centre for failing to notify affected parties as well as the Data Protection Authority about a personal data breach in due time.

The DPA noted that it took almost five months for the NGSC to notify the concerned parties and close to three months before the DPA received a data breach notification.
