The government and Commission I of the DPR have agreed to form a working committee (panja) to discuss the Draft Law on Cyber Security and Resilience or KKS Bill.
Deputy Minister of Law Edward Omar Sharif Hiariej in the DPR Commission I Working Meeting with the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Communication and Digital, the Ministry of State Secretariat, and the Ministry of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform conveyed the importance of discussing the draft laws.
"The state's obligation to be present is important in protecting the cyberspace and digital ecosystem, it is hoped that it will provide benefits for the advancement of state security and resilience in the field of information and communication technology, the advancement of the nation's civilization, to the improvement of national welfare," he said as reported by ANTARA, Monday, June 29.
The preparation of the Cybersecurity Security and Resilience Bill was initiated by the Government and has been included in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) 2026.
When representing the government to convey views on the KKS Bill, Edward suggested the need for a comprehensive and transformative approach in discussing draft laws that will serve as the basis for the implementation of national cyber security and resilience.
Edward explained that the KKS Bill covers 10 materials, including the obligation to carry out information infrastructure and regulation of criminal provisions.
Chairman of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Utut Adianto, said the DPR agreed to immediately discuss the KKS bill and the formation of a committee for that purpose.
"Eight factions agreed to discuss the cybersecurity security and resilience bill together with the government," he said.
The KKS bill committee was agreed to be led by a member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PKS Faction, Sukamta. The members of the working committee consist of 23 members of the Indonesian House of Representatives and government representatives.
Utut hopes that the government will place people who really understand the practices and needs related to cybersecurity in Indonesia as representatives in the KKS Bill Committee.
"This is a new thing, a new thing for the law, it must be very serious. This is not a daily activity and this is not normative in nature. This is ushering in a future Indonesia," said Utut.
In a working meeting with the government, Commission I of the DPR conveyed the Inventory of Problems (DIM) that needed to be studied and discussed further in a joint meeting with the Panja KKS Bill.
The KKS bill, according to the council, among other things, needs to include the implementation of cyber security on critical information infrastructure, including the obligation of information infrastructure providers to protect information infrastructure owned, managed, and/or operated.
In addition, the draft law is considered necessary to regulate the implementation of cyber resilience and the improvement of human resources (HR), technology, and related business processes as well as international cooperation in the implementation of cyber security and resilience.
Another problem that is considered to need to be regulated in the bill is the strengthening of the government's role in the implementation of cybersecurity security and resilience, including the formulation of cybersecurity security and resilience standards and policies, the improvement of human resources capacity, the development of an ecosystem of cybersecurity technology industries, and the monitoring of internet traffic anomalies.
The regulation regarding the source of funding, the implementation of investigations, the imposition of administrative sanctions, and criminal provisions that do not exist in other laws is also considered necessary to be included in the draft law on cyber security and resilience.
In addition, the KKS Bill is considered necessary to regulate the implementation of technical audits related to cyber security incidents as well as public participation in the implementation of cyber security and resilience.
