JAKARTA - The world of social media today was shocked by the appearance of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) COVID-19 Vaccine Certificate, which was accessed through the PeduliLindung application. The Vaccine Certificate was obtained because Jokowi's Population Identification Number (NIK) was widespread and easily accessible through the KPU website.

However, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) Dedy Permadi stated that the information related to Jokowi's NIK and COVID-19 vaccination date used to access the COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate did not come from the PeduliLindung system.

"Information on President Joko Widodo's NIK is already available on the KPU website. Information on President Joko Widodo's vaccination date can be found in mass media reports," explained Dedy in a statement received by VOI, Friday, September 3.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), as the Data Guardian, said Dedy, is responsible for the use of data in the PeduliLindung system which is integrated with the National Data Center (PDN).

"This is in accordance with the laws and regulations as regulated by PP No. 71 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions (PP PSTE) and Presidential Regulation No. 39 of 2019 concerning the One Data Indonesia Initiative," said Dedy.

Meanwhile, BSSN as the institution authorized to implement cyber security technical policies is responsible for recovering, and managing Electronic System cyber security risks according to the mandate of PP PSTE and Presidential Decree No. 28 of 2021 concerning BSSN.

To improve the security of the Care Protect system, the Ministry of Communication and Information has also migrated the Care Protect System to the National Data Center (PDN) on August 28, 2021 at 14.00 WIB.

"The migration includes system migration, application services, and also the PeduliLindung application database. Migration is also carried out on the SiLacak Application System and the PCare Application System," said Dedy.

"The government (will) continue to monitor the seriousness of all data managers and guardians to maintain the security of Electronic Systems and Personal Data they manage, both in terms of technology, governance, and human resources," said Dedy.

Dedy said, the function of checking the COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate in the PeduliLindung system, which previously required users to include a mobile phone number for checking the COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate, now only uses 5 parameters (name, Population Identity Number (NIK), date of birth, date of vaccine, and type of vaccine. vaccine) to make it easier for the public to access the COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate after considering many inputs from the community.

Finally, Dedy said that the Ministry of Communication and Informatics will continue to carry out efforts to monitor compliance with the PeduliLindung system manager, those who manage data, and users.

"The government urges the public to remain calm and not to be provoked by inaccurate information regarding the PeduliLindung system," said Dedy.
