Example: insurance & Insurtech software for a gaming business in Helsingborg
Consider a gaming company in Helsingborg (logistics and øresund trade). A typical insurance & Insurtech software engagement would start with broker portal, then embedded insurance, and finish the first release with quote & bind — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Swish, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on daily active players, retention day 7 and payment success rate.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for insurance & Insurtech software
Before launch in Sweden, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:

- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Sweden.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Finansinspektionen applies to your model.
