The information security management status evaluation is a system that assesses compliance with security policies such as information security policies and information asset security management of national institutions and local governments according to the ‘National Information Security Basic Guidelines.’ Gyeonggi Province conducts inspections and verification evaluations of information security systems for more than 75 items, including administrative and technical security, targeting 31 cities and counties within the province every year.

To improve the level of information security, the city conducted on-site security audits for all departments to address deficiencies. In particular, starting this year, on-site visits and inspections were carried out to manage the security of services transitioned to the cloud, and consulting was conducted to introduce and operate stable information systems, demonstrating proactive activities.

Additionally, to enhance employees’ security awareness, the city conducted security training for all staff, simulated phishing email drills, and cyber intrusion response exercises. Efforts were also made to strengthen the security management system by improving outdated information protection systems and advancing the integrated security control system.

Going forward, to provide stable public services, the city plans to conduct security inspections tailored to changing informatization projects to prevent problems, analyze issues, and prepare improvement measures, continuing proactive information protection activities.

Mayor Kim Dong-geun stated, “As the importance of information security continues to grow, we will operate a more strengthened information security management system,” and added, “We will do our best to provide trusted administrative services that reduce citizens’ concerns about cyber intrusion threats and personal information leaks.”
