With the enactment of the Personal Data Protection Law (PDP), significant challenges and risks arise in its execution. A major concern is the prevalence of personal data breaches despite 93.5 percent of the Indonesian population actively using the Internet, particularly on social media. The gap between this widespread internet usage and the lack of awareness regarding personal data protection raises serious concerns. The unregulated exposure of personal information has proven to result in various criminal activities.
Beyond the issue of privacy awareness, the menace of cyber-attacks is escalating alongside the rapid evolution of technology. Hence, it becomes crucial to implement effective data security measures to support the enforcement of the PDP Law. What solutions can be implemented to address this situation? Explore the answers in the following article.
Overview of the Provisions of the Law on Protection of Personal Data in Electronic Systems
Based on Article 3 of the Regulation of the Minister of Communications and Information Technology Number 20 of 2016 on Personal Data Protection in Electronic Systems, it is stated that the protection of personal data in electronic systems includes the process of obtaining and collecting, processing and analyzing, storing, displaying, announcing, sending, disseminating and/or opening access, and destroying.
In the same provision, Article 15 explains that personal data stored in electronic systems must be personal data that has been verified for accuracy and encrypted. In addition, the government also takes preventive measures to protect personal data by establishing data centers and disaster recovery systems.
A data center is a facility used to house electronic systems and their related components for the purpose of data placement, storage, and processing. Meanwhile, a disaster recovery center is a facility designed to restore data, information, and critical functions in electronic systems that are disrupted or damaged by natural disasters or human error.
