On the afternoon of October 22, continuing the 8th session of the 15th National Assembly, Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang presented the Report on the Data Law project.
According to the Data Law project proposal, many countries in the world have regulations on data, operation, exploitation, and use of data (data of state agencies, organizations, businesses, and individuals).
Thereby, mechanisms and policies should be created to apply data to state management activities and socio-economic development.
However, the Report on the Data Law project still points out some shortcomings and limitations such as: some ministries and branches do not have or have but do not have sufficient infrastructure to deploy core information technology systems to serve professional work.
Many databases are collected, stored in duplicate, overlap, and have no unified data categories, making it difficult to connect, share, and exploit data.
Or data centers are not invested in a synchronous manner, have inconsistent standards and technical regulations, and are not regularly inspected, maintained, or upgraded, leading to the risk of not ensuring system security and safety.
Some ministries, branches and localities hire IT infrastructure services, which poses many risks to information security because they have not really managed and controlled state data on enterprise infrastructure; Many information systems still have security vulnerabilities.
The Government's report clearly stated that building a centralized database is a common trend in countries around the world today such as Denmark, Japan, and China.
Therefore, it is very necessary to orient the construction and development of the National Comprehensive Database as the main data pillar to create a foundation for the development of digital government, promote digital economy and form a digital society in our country.
This also helps to create and form reliable and stable state data systems, thereby deploying connection solutions to share, reuse and develop in-depth data analysis models/applications to create many new values and new products and services.
Investing in, upgrading, expanding, and storing information in the National General Database will save a lot compared to investing in separate systems to store this information.
Information stored in the National General Database will also be shared to serve the common exploitation of ministries, branches and localities; data management agencies do not have to set up additional connection and sharing channels for information that has been added and stored in the National General Database.
Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang said that the development of the Data Law project aims to create unity, synchronization, and effective use of data to serve state management and socio-economic development.
This also aims to serve the development of digital government and reform, reduce administrative procedures; develop socio-economy and develop the National Data Center.
