1) whether penalties to be imposed on the responsible personnel concerned;
2) monitor compliance by government departments and other public organisations with the Guidance Note on Data Security Measures by PCPD;
3) whether any civil servant has been subjected to disciplinary actions as a result of the data leakage incidents mentioned in 1);
4) enhance the cybersecurity of government departments and other public organisations;
5) specific plans and measures (including amending or enacting the relevant legislation) the Government has in place in the coming year to enhance the cybersecurity.
