Extensive toolbox published for secure and interoperable design of digital services

The Digital and Population Data Services Agency has published a new Suomi.fi for Service Developers website that offers a wide range of guidelines, good practices and tools for designing, implementing and securing digital services, aimed at people working with digitalisation.

“Suomi.fi for Service Developers is a one-stop-shop for common solutions and guidelines to support the development of digital services”, explains Director Mikko Pitkänen from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

Comprehensive guidelines for digital security

The Suomi.fi for Service Developers website offers practical guides for managing issues such as cyber and digital security risks. The guide for risk management in digital security, published by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, offers developers clear instructions for developing risk management.

“Preventing cyber threats and managing information security risks is a key priority in every digital service. The new guide offers concrete tools that help organisations anticipate and manage risks”, says Senior Specialist Tapani Rinne from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

The databank of digital security published on the website includes important guides, tools and events related to cyber and digital security.

Guides on using AI responsibly and other themes of digitalisation

The Suomi.fi for Service Developers website is used to publish guides on topical themes on digitalisation. For example, the guide on using AI responsibly features instructions on planning organisations’ ethical practices and the risk management of AI systems. 

Interoperability and cost-effectiveness with national digital solutions

With the new website, organisations can improve the interoperability of their digital services by using Suomi.fi services. It can also improve cost-effectiveness with design processes based on good practices that have been proven to work.

Suomi.fi services are national digital solutions produced by the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, the National Land Survey of Finland and the State Treasury. Services include official communications, acting on behalf of another party, and opening and sharing public administration data.   

“Suomi.fi services offer service developers digital solutions that can especially help make the digitalisation of public administration easy and cost-effective”, says Pitkänen.
