ADDRESSING THE Inadequacies
Additionally, MDDI and ACRA shared the actions they will get in light of the Bizfile event.
The government stated that it is developing additional instructions for government agencies on how to use the NRIC number policy.  ,
Nearly 800 existing apply cases of limited NRIC numbers in public-facing systems have been identified, each with their own particular perspective and features.  ,
MDDI promised better cooperation with organizations to assist them in carrying out the project.
Additionally, it will improve interior controls and staff instruction to give clear explanations of the wider scheme context and concerns when issuing commands.  ,
The government has also reaffirmed the administration’s current data management guidelines for obtaining, using, and disclosing personal information, including NRIC numbers, to organizations. To improve understanding, it will hold guide briefings.
According to MDDI, the state continues to support the privacy of its members. Before making any changes to the rules for the use of NRIC numbers in the private market, it will counsel with industry and the public.  ,
ACRA announced improvements to communications both internally and externally to ensure that key knowledge is adequately shared so that officials can make wise decisions.  ,
Additionally, it will do more frequent system checks to assess the risks of data security and protection and put forth suitable security measures if vulnerabilities are discovered. These reviews may be conducted in particular before, during, and following significant changes to the IT program.
ACRA announced stronger vendor monitoring to ensure that systems are put in place correctly and according to criteria. The Government Technology Agency  ( GovTech ), according to a review conducted for Bizfile, found that some security features were not properly implemented.
The organization may develop more security measures to enhance its supplier management framework.
The MOF stated that it would help ACRA in its follow-up initiatives and reveal the findings with other MOF organizations.
” We are taking the necessary steps to prevent these situations from occurring again.”
CNA has contacted ACRA and MOF to inquire about modifications to Bizfile in response to complaints that the search results don’t display the full or partial NRICs, making it difficult to choose a page to buy.
