JAKARTA - The Election Organizers Honorary Council (DKPP) held a code of ethics session attended by KPU Chairman Hasyim Asy'ari along with all commissioners, Wednesday, February 28. This trial is related to complaints of data leakage of the 2024 General Election Fixed Voter List (DPT). One of the expert witnesses questioned was Marsudi Wahyu Kisworo. Wahyudi emphasized that no system cannot be hacked. As a form of prevention, the KPU has implemented cybersecurity by making standards. As long as that standard is followed, continued Marsudi, hacking efforts are more difficult and have no major impact. "The KPU has followed the standards, I think. It has received the ISO certificate 27001," said Marsudi in the DKPP courtroom, Wednesday, February 28. ISO 27001 is the standard for information security management systems or so-called Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). "In security science, safety is that there are standards that have been recognized by the Indonesian government through the Indonesian national standard or SNI, namely ISO 27001. Thus, if an institution has implemented ISO 27001, it is assumed that the institution has followed the standards mandated by the security law. adequate," explained this cyber expert.

He also compared it with institutions like the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) and Kominfo which have many experts but can be broken down. "But in principle, in this world there is no system that cannot be broken down, because various kinds of security there must be a weak point, let alone the KPU, in 2021 BSSN alone security experts have been broken down, as well as Kominfo whose many security experts were also broken down," concluded Marsudi.
