Root Cause: Hack23 AB operates with CEO/Founder as sole contributor, creating key-person dependency for all operations.
Impact Assessment:
- Knowledge concentration: 100% of institutional knowledge in one person
- Development velocity: limited by single contributor bandwidth
- Availability: no coverage during illness, vacation, or emergency
- Succession: no documented succession plan
Remediation Plan:
- Q2 2026: Document all operational runbooks in ISMS
- Q3 2026: Begin community contributor onboarding program
- Q4 2026: Identify and onboard at least 1 trusted maintainer
- 2027: Formalize contributor governance model
- Compensating controls: Automated infrastructure, comprehensive documentation
Risk Rating: HIGH — Likelihood: Medium, Impact: High
Root Cause: Platform operates as non-commercial open-source civic technology with no monetization strategy implemented.
Impact Assessment:
- Sustainability: entirely dependent on founder's personal time investment
- Infrastructure scaling: limited by low-cost constraint
- Team growth: cannot hire without revenue
- Feature development: constrained by volunteer hours
Remediation Plan:
- Q3 2026: Design freemium API tier with usage-based pricing
- Q4 2026: Launch beta API access for researchers
- 2027: First paying customers (research institutions, think tanks)
- 2028: €50K ARR target from API + enterprise subscriptions
- Interim: Seek public funding (Vinnova, EU Horizon grants)
Risk Rating: HIGH — Likelihood: Certain if unaddressed, Impact: High
Root Cause: Pure static HTML/CSS/JS architecture, while security-positive, limits real-time features, search, and personalization.
Impact Assessment:
- No server-side search (only client-side)
- No user accounts or personalization
- No real-time data updates (daily batch only)
- No API for third-party integrations
- No webhook support for event-driven notifications
Remediation Plan:
- Q4 2026: Implement client-side semantic search (Pagefind or Lunr.js)
- 2027: AWS Lambda@Edge for lightweight API functions
- 2028: Progressive Web App with service workers for offline
- 2029: Full API platform with authentication
- Architecture principle: Maintain static-first; only add server-side where essential
Risk Rating: MEDIUM — Accepted as architectural trade-off for security
Root Cause: Core data (Riksdag data) sourced exclusively from riksdag.se API and CIA platform, creating external dependencies.
Impact Assessment:
- If Riksdag API changes: data pipeline breaks
- If CIA platform goes down: dashboards show stale data
- No SLA from data providers
- API rate limits constrain data freshness
- No fallback to alternative data sources
Remediation Plan:
- Q2 2026: Implement robust caching with configurable TTL
- Q3 2026: Add stale-data banners to inform users
- Q4 2026: Implement data validation with schema versioning
- 2027: Secondary data sources (riksdagen.se direct scrape as fallback)
- 2028: Mirror/cache critical API data locally (with respect to terms of service)
