The information security policy should also provide a system for constant information collection and security. Also required is that the information security policy and the regulations of their implementation, are reviewed periodically. This is an important procedure to check for the presence of any new menaces to the information assets owned by the government ministries and agencies, and for changes to their environment, so that continued measures can be taken. In consideration of rapid advances of information security technologies and hackers' skills that are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, more frequent reviews are important. As the social economy is going more electronic, spurred by the rapid expansion of the number of Internet users, and the trend toward electronic commerce, the demand for reducing people's work load as to making applications, notifications, and other procedures, is on an explicit increase.
Expectations are high for more active communication between the administration and people.
The administration environment about information is about to change rapidly. This means a transfer from information management using the medium paper, to security controlled electronic information management, by the positive use of information communication networks. The government's information system connected to networks, however, is constantly exposed to the danger of being a victim of wire-tapping, unauthorized access, destruction, tampering, and other malicious actions. The ministries and agencies should take the necessary actions required, in sequence, with the goal of attaining a security level appropriate for the basis of the electronic government. The implementation of information security, aimed at by these guidelines, assumes that information, in the form of documents and other media, is appropriately managed.
