Definition of Information Security: Information (regardless of form and media), such as information resources, hardware, software, services, documents, personnel, the agency's image and reputation, are the Ministry's assets. The issue of security pertains to the use of proactive or defensive measures to protect and preserve a work environment where the agency's activities are not to be unduly compromised.

The safeguard system is to be maintained through information security policy as well as the execution of its components, including well-defined security management procedures, clear delegation of responsibilities within the organization, applications of software as well as other related installation items, so that the information assets of the Ministry are properly protected.

The security management procedures shall protect the Ministry's information assets from unlawful access, unauthorized disclosure, modification, damage, and other security threats. The safety of the collection, processing, transmission, storage, and circulation of information is to be duly maintained.
