Databases containing personal data are located on servers that are kept in locked, secure facilities and can only be accessed by authorised individuals whose duties require such access. The servers are protected by a  firewall and other appropriate technical safeguards. 

Any physical data material containing personal data is kept in locked, secure facilities that can only be accessed by authorised individuals whose duties require such access, and who process this personal data as part of the performance of their duties. 

The databases and systems can only be accessed with separately issued personal usernames and passwords. Sitra has restricted the access rights and the authorisations to data systems and other storage media so that the data can only be accessed and processed by individuals whose duties require it for lawful processing purposes.
