Arafo Adopts New Digital Platform for Social Services

Overview

The municipality of Arafo has officially signed onto a new digital platform designed to streamline social services across the Canary Islands. This platform, called SEGISS, replaces the older SIUSS system and aims to improve how local and regional agencies share information related to welfare programs.

The move follows a broader agreement signed in late 2024 between Spain's Social Rights Ministry and the Canary Islands government. The city’s mayor, Juan Ramón Martín Pérez, confirmed that the local council adopted this new system in June 2026, ensuring their compliance with data privacy laws under the EU's GDPR regulations.

Benefits of the New System

• More efficient and responsive social services
• Better coordination support for vulnerable populations
• Improved service delivery
• Strengthened data security measures

Legal and Public Disclosure

Legal requirements mandate that such agreements be publicized quickly, which is why the authorization was published in Spain’s official regional bulletin.

As local authorities adopt these digital tools, residents can expect more integrated and transparent social services tailored to today’s digital age.

"This update is more than just a tech upgrade; it promises to make social services more efficient and responsive."
