DICT prioritizes Data Governance Policy and Framework for a Data-Driven Government
The Papua New Guinea Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is making sure that the country’s data is secure, private, and under the jurisdiction of the country.
To support the country’s aim of becoming a data-driven government, the department is working with partners and stakeholders to address data-related concerns.
DICT is developing a comprehensive Data Governance Framework to ensure data privacy, sovereignty, and protection on cloud platforms. The framework will provide a clear approach to data privacy and protection and also offer guidance on data sharing and interoperability between systems.
Ensuring data security while in transit between systems and agencies is important for the success of the country’s data-driven government. The department is committed to providing a secure and compliant environment for data storage and processing and is taking a leading role in maintaining data protection and jurisdiction.
The department is also setting regulations and guidelines for cloud service providers to comply with data security and privacy laws. It is important for individuals and organizations to stay informed about developments in this area.
The implementation of the Data Governance Framework will mark a major step forward for Papua New Guinea in securing data stored on cloud platforms. The department is dedicated to maintaining data security and sovereignty and is playing a key role in the country’s digital transformation.
