A digital public sector necessitates good principles for digital governance. The Agency for Digital Government works to ensure transparent digital administration of Danish legislation as well as well-functioning, sustainable, and secure public ICT systems.
The Danish welfare system is one of the best in the world, but case processing has become increasingly complex.
Since 2018, there has been broad political support to simplify legislation, and as part of this drive, the Agency for Digital Government works to promote automated digital case processing.
With Denmark being highly digital, a solid foundation for cyber and information security is essential to ensure accessibility, integrity, and the confidentiality of information and thereby the population’s trust in digital solutions. This is particularly true for public authorities which handle large amounts of sensitive data.
