EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a custom CRM & HRMS software
Before launch in Sweden, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Sweden customers must stay in-region.
- 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.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a custom CRM & HRMS software in Sweden
For clients in Sweden we usually host on AWS eu-north-1 (Stockholm), Azure Sweden Central, Google Cloud Stockholm. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your custom CRM & HRMS software for Sweden
