It's not easy when things go wrong . And wrong it has become again in the Swedish signal intelligence .

Defence Radio Establishment , has once again successfully checked by the inspection body Siun , State Inspection for defense intelligence . This time, since the internal rules governing how personal information in quiescent signals may be handled not meet regulatory requirements . It could be about signals intelligence and collection of personal information from an area after completing reconnaissance becomes landscape . Sensitive personal data and sensitive data and communications that lack procedures for how they should be handled. The lack of FRA has been around since 2008 - but it is only now that Siun reached that point in their review .

Siuns decision taken at a meeting in late January this year. But because of privacy was the content of the case to get out after a government decision in March this year. The declassified document states the following :
"It must be clear to the individual officer which personal data may be processed. "

At FRA , work is underway to address the gaps .

- We embrace it as Siun says . There should be greater clarity , so that nothing can be misunderstood , "says Fredrik Wallin on FRA's press department.

Since Siuns mission began in 2009 , the FRA has checked off no less than ten times for deficiencies in their operations. It has been about illegal search criteria, personal task management which do not follow the law and bad thinning of databases containing sensitive information about individuals.

According to the FRA's own website , they have just ticked five times. The Authority has simply chosen not to publish information on the first five deficiencies Siun complained .

Examiner : " We are working as fast as we can master with "
- I feel that FRA take our feedback very seriously and are really trying to make corrections where we think there are flaws , says Rolf Holmgren , president of Siuns committee.
It took you seven years to find its way to your last point on the FRA . How do you see it?

- We are working as fast as we can master with . There are areas we have not looked at and things we are looking at multiple times , such as signals intelligence operations. Where do we recurrent audits of search terms . I do not think it is so strange that there are substances that have been put back a bit .

 Would you catch more with more resources?

- The problem is still the number of meetings . If Siun would need to expand its audits can be done on the office side, but heck knows if the board would be able to. There is no major task for either chairman or members.

 Rolf Holmgren is a daily head over Linköping District Court and the members sit or have sat in parliament.

- It is basically a political issue. If agencies should be scrutinized more closely than today needs to change the committee system. Then you have to have the members and chairmen who have more time .

Several workers have tried leak
As early as 2010, the first internal alarm to the FRA's internal integritetsskyddsråd . The anonymous email with ten points , two of which are now classified by the FRA, leaked to the media.
Metro has now taken note of yet another alarm to the Integrity Council at FRA . The anonymous handwritten letter, to share classified by the FRA, states, inter alia :

 - I'm a little worried about the activities going on ( classified ) and the metadata processing. In many instances ( classified ) does not need to bother in legislation as other areas do. "

Privacy It considered that the information in the letter came from someone at FRA . But after examining the matter was brought down - even though the sender had detailed knowledge of the FRA's work.

 Fredrik Wallin on FRA's press office tells Metro that it is good that employees are turning to privacy Council at FRA .

- We have both a policy forum internally and we encourage everyone to talk to their supervisor , but if you do not want it's examination authority excellent if you have doubts about something , "he says .

 The document is handwritten and dated 29 September 2011. When Metro reporter asked to get out letters to the Integrity Council, the answer was that no such documents existed. Only when the reporter pointed out that the document mentioned in the minutes of the Council got the Metro to study the letter .

FRAs earlier slip
So many times , the FRA has previously plotted by Siun

2009: improper reporting

2010: unauthorized use of search terms on SIGINT

2011: two cases of unauthorized reporting to SAPO , deficiencies in the Data Management at FRA, Siun out that sensitive data had to be destroyed and

2012: weaknesses in targeting

2013 : two cases of incorrect personal data management , where data is moved between databases to be kept longer than the law allows.

2014 : Once again the flaws in FRA's governing documents . This time about personal data in dormant SIGINT mission.

Now, the reviewer examined

Rikrevisionen has initiated a feasibility study on how Siun and Data Inspection Board manages the supervision of the Swedish Defence Intelligence Service. Notification of any in-depth review are expected in the early summer.
