Among the newly restored systems is the Strategic Goods Management System (second-grade) of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. This system determines online whether export products are classified as strategic goods subject to export controls.

After the fire at the National Information Resources Service led to a service outage, work was handled through alternative means such as email. However, as work was delayed compared to normal, the number of complaints from export companies increased significantly.

In response, Kim Minjae, First Deputy Chief of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Vice Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety), stated on October 16, "We will do our utmost to complete the restoration of the Strategic Goods Management System by early next week."
