RIA, as the central IT and cyber agency of the country and the leader and promoter of the Estonian digital state, is responsible for ensuring the implementation of the vision of a digital society.
We are guided by the objectives and directions of the development plan Estonian Digital Society 2035.
Mission
We ensure a reliable digital state and seamless services — today and tomorrow.
Our task is to keep the Estonian digital state functional, secure, and user-friendly. We are the driving force behind the digital development of the state, shaping a unified digital architecture, developing interoperable solutions, and ensuring a high level of cyber security.
In cooperation with private sector partners and the wider ecosystem, we provide centralised digital and cyber services and develop a unified direction and standards that enable the digital state to develop flexibly, support innovation, and respond to the changing needs of people and organisations. Our goal is to ensure that the digital state functions at all times and for everyone.
Vision
The world’s most trusted digital state – securing Estonia, inspiring the world.
Our vision is to be the central force behind the Estonian digital state, whose expertise and solutions shape a future-proof and reliable digital society. The strength of the Estonian digital state is based on trust – the certainty that our digital state will always function seamlessly and securely.
We create solutions that ensure the functioning of the state at all times: from invisible systems to the protection of critical infrastructure and the strengthening of digital independence. This trust supports Estonian society, economy, and national security.
The Estonian digital state serves as an example to the whole world. We share knowledge, develop standards, and demonstrate how innovation and safety can go hand in hand.
