Digital Identification Project

Summary

The Development Objective of the project is to increase the number of persons with a national ID number, issued by a robust and inclusive foundational ID system, that facilitates their access to services. Subcomponent 2.4: Reinforcing information security and privacy. To strengthen the safeguarding of private data and ID systems, activities to provide the necessary information security and cybersecurity will be supported under the project. Security at the back end will be bolstered to appropriately protect the integrity of the database and personal data against breaches, attacks, and human/physical vulnerabilities. The project will establish information security and cybersecurity compliance standards, conduct privacy audits and information technology (IT) security audits and maintain certifications, reinforce cybersecurity capacity and establish a National Identification Sectorial Computer Emergency Response Team (IDCERT) with a Security Operations Center (ID-SOC), reinforce Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for ID, and provide capacity building on information security.
