Hard disk outflow The local government that does not take out also December 18, 18:43
Some local governments are working on the replacement and disposal of hard disks that store important administrative documents so that they cannot be restored before they are taken outside to prevent leakage.
In Kawasaki City, when you replace the hard disk of the city's shared server, be sure to call the contractor to the city hall and completely erase the data in the room called the server room, where access is strictly controlled by biometric authentication. We are doing work to do.
By confirming that the staff cannot be restored on the spot, we keep the hard disk from being taken out of the city hall while accumulating data.
In addition, when updating the terminal of the host computer that manages more important information such as the Basic Resident Register and city tax, it is also confirmed that the terminal is broken in the city hall in the presence of the staff as well. That is.
Nobuhiro Arai, Director of the Kawasaki City System Management Division, said, “I am worried that it will be taken out without confirming that the data has been completely erased. I want to thoroughly manage it as a department that handles important citizen information.” It was.
In addition, Yokohama City asks leasing companies to erase data, but it means that it dispatches employees to meet the erasure work of contractors.
However, we are urgently checking whether similar problems have occurred in response to the problems of Kanagawa Prefecture because we are not able to handle all the work.
