Sectra delivers solution to the Swedish Prison and Probation Service for secure access to information

The solution, which is based on Sectra’s long-standing experience in secure communication and information security, was developed in close collaboration with the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. It streamlines the administrative work of the Prison and Probation Service’s employees while still maintaining a high level of security. It also provides inmates with highly controlled access to several digital services, including educational material. In addition to making day-to-day routines more efficient and secure, the Prison and Probation Service can also implement new services in the solution as society at large continues to go digital.

The system also simplifies the Prison and Probation Service’s distribution and management of preliminary investigation material. By combining privacy and secure access, the solution can play a role in upholding due process and streamlining legal proceedings in a way that was not previously possible.

“The Prison and Probation Service has an important job in maintaining and continuously developing an effective criminal justice system. The authority plans to triple the number of prison places in the coming years and a prerequisite for succeeding with this is technological development in client-oriented activities. Through our collaboration, we are able to contribute our experience in creating solutions for secure digitization. The solution helps to streamline the work of the Prison and Probation Service, but could also help similar authorities going through the same kind of digitization journey,” says Magnus Skogberg, President of Sectra Communications.

The contract with the Swedish Prison and Probation Service includes ongoing production and delivery of Sectra’s hardened, secure devices along with components that enable easy maintenance and configuration. These additions are designed to slot into the Prison and Probation Service’s existing IT infrastructure both technically and operationally, ensuring an effective work process.
