Sisäministeriö

What Sisäministeriö does

Sisäministeriö (Ministry of the Interior) is one of the twelve statutory ministries of the Finnish Government (Valtioneuvosto), founded in 1917 following Finland's independence and headquartered at Kirkkokatu 12, Helsinki. It is responsible for internal security across Finland, coordinating police administration, rescue services, emergency response (via the 112 system), border management, migration and citizenship, civil crisis management, and critical infrastructure protection. The ministry operates through five core departments — Police, Rescue, Migration, Border Guard, and Administration & Development — under Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen and Permanent Secretary Matti Sarasmaa, supported by a Communications Unit, International Affairs Unit, and Data Protection Officer. Its services are delivered to all Finnish citizens, municipalities, wellbeing services counties (Hyvinvointialueet), and designated critical entities across 11 sectors under the 2025 CER Act.

The ministry's product surface comprises both public-facing digital tools and back-office information systems. Public-facing assets include the CER-käsikirja (a critical-entity resilience handbook), the Sentimentti data tool for research/sentiment analysis, and the Liputan mobile app for Finnish flag notifications. Operational systems include the government-wide VAHVA case management system, the EUSA2 system for administering EU Internal Security Funds (2021-2027), and the Tuovi collaboration portal for security experts. The ministry also operates the Valtioneuvoston hankeikkuna project portal, the Valto publication archive, and integrates with the valtiolle.fi recruitment platform. Internationally, it chairs the Baltic Sea Security Group, participates in Frontex and NATO security cooperation (Finland joined NATO in 2023), and coordinates with EU member states.

Sisäministeriö operates as a non-commercial public administrative body. There are no commercial revenues or prices; funding comes entirely from the Finnish state budget approved by Parliament, supplemented by EU Internal Security Funds administered as grants. The ministry employs a permanent civil service structure across its departments and maintains regulatory authority over subordinate agencies including the Police, Border Guard, and Emergency Response Agency. WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA accessibility compliance is maintained for the intermin.fi public website, with some documented gaps in PDF accessibility and contrast.
