Classification of Data Recommended in Order to Prevent Personal-Data Breaches and Violations of ITE Law

  • Teguh Arifiyadi, Chairman of the Indonesia Cyber Law Community (“ICLC”) stressed in an interview with Hukumonline recently that companies have the responsibility of protecting any personal data in their possession and that any failure to do so may be considered a violation of Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions, as amended by Law No. 19 of 2016 (“ITE Law”).
  • However, Teguh added that companies can implement several measures in order to avoid personal-data breaches, including: 1) Initial classification of electronic documents into at least four different types, which should be stored based on their content, specifically general, limited, confidential and strictly confidential; 2) Protection of stored personal data, which should be undertaken in good faith; 3) Equal treatment of all stored personal data; 4) Preparation and implementation of risk mitigation measures in relation to any risks which are likely to occur; and 5) Limitation of access to certain types of personal data, so that only authorized members of staff within a given company are permitted to access said data.
