Promoting Data Privacy Security － Privacy Commissioner Interviewed by Media on the “Data Privacy and Website Security Scan Programme”
The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, was interviewed by Now News’ “News Magazine” on 14 August to introduce the “Data Privacy and Website Security Scan Programme” (Programme) jointly launched by her Office (PCPD) and the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited. During the interview, she explained the mode of operation and support services of the Programme, and encouraged schools, non-profit-making organisations and small and medium-sized enterprises to make good use of the free website security scanning and professional advisory services provided by the Programme to identify and address potential website security risks at an early stage and strengthen the protection of personal data.
The Privacy Commissioner explained that the Programme adopts non-intrusive website security scanning technology. The scanning process simulates the browsing behaviour of ordinary internet users. No attack techniques are deployed to conduct internal inspections. As a result, the scanning process will not cause any damage to or affect the normal operation of the websites. Seminars will be organised by the PCPD at a later stage for the participants of the Programme to share common website security and personal data protection issues, with a view to further strengthening organisations’ cyber resilience.
