Hong Kong tax office airs cloud security concerns
Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue has voiced concerns over the security of using cloud computing services to manage tax payer information.
Chiu Sai-ming, Chief Assessor at Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue Department, told Asian Security Review that while it is important that his department take advantage of emerging technologies, the idea that tax payers’ files could be housed outside of the building was “out of the question”.
“We have a challenge to upgrade the system. But the emphasis has to be one data security. We need a system that is reliable and stable,” he said, adding that he hadn’t even considered putting the Inland Revenue’s data management function “in the cloud”.
His comments come at a difficult time for Hong Kong government agencies in terms of information security. The territory’s Hospital Authority has reported the loss of a USB drive on three different occasions in recent weeks and government agencies are under increasing pressure to tighten security.
