Abstract

In the digital age, the importance of personal information has magnified, underscoring the need for enhanced personal information protection, especially within public institutions. Despite ongoing efforts since 2007, significant breaches in public sector information underline persistent vulnerabilities. This study advocates for a transition from a diagnostic to an assessment framework to fortify privacy management in public institutions, as mandated by recent legislative revisions. The amended Personal Information Protection Act introduces an assessment approach, aiming to comprehensively assess and mitigate risks by expanding the scope of evaluation and implementing robust regulatory measures. This study examines the limitations of the current diagnostic practices through literature review and case analysis and proposes a systematic approach to adopting the new assesment system. By enhancing the assessment framework, the study expects to improve the effectiveness of personal information management in public institutions, thereby restoring public trust and ensuring a stable progression into a more secure digital era. The transition to an assessment system is designed not only to address the gaps in the current framework but also to provide a methodical assessment that supports ongoing improvement and compliance with enhanced legal standards.
