Sweden’s financial services sector extends well beyond traditional banking. It includes payment providers, card services, fintech platforms, consumer finance firms, insurance and pension services, and regulated financial infrastructure operators. Unlike conventional banks, many of these organizations run cloud-native platforms, process real-time, high-volume transactions, and rely heavily on third-party integrations.
Security leaders in financial services must navigate overlapping regulatory frameworks such as DORA, PCI DSS, PSD2, ISO 27001, and NIS2, while simultaneously enabling rapid innovation, cross-border growth, and platform resilience.
