- ESO Classification-Definition
Although Previous Regulation differentiated Electronic System Operator (“ESO”) between (i) ESO for public service (“Public ESO”) and (ii) ESO for private service (“Private ESO”), no definition of them was made under Previous Regulation.
GR 71 now provides their definition as follows:
Public ESO
Public ESO is defined as operator of electronic system carried out by the State Agency or institutions appointed by State Agency.
- The State Agency is defined as legislative, executive and judicative institutions at national and regional levels and other institutions/agencies established by laws and regulations.
Private ESO
Private ESO is defined as operator of electronic system carried out by individuals, business entities, and public. - Registration
Previous Regulation required only Public ESO to register with Minister of Communication and Information (“MOCI”); registration for Private ESO was not compulsory.
GR 71 now requires both Public ESO and Private ESO to register with MOCI. - Data Center
The Previous Regulation required Public ESO to locate its data and disaster recovery center/electronic systems and data in Indonesian territory; but, no such kind of requirement was stipulated for Private ESO data center.
- GR 71 now allows Public ESO to manage, process and/or storing its electronic system and electronic data outside Indonesia. This permission however is applicable only if the technology for such processing and storing is not available in Indonesia as determined by a Committee which still will be established as determined by MOCI.
- GR 71 also stipulates that Private ESO can manage, process and/or storing its electronic system and electronic data inside and/or outside Indonesia’s territory. Provided however, if such activities are located outside Indonesia, then the Private ESO must ensure the effectiveness of supervision by the Indonesian competent authority and law enforcement and the Private ESO is obliged to give an access to its Electronic System and Electronic Data for supervision and law enforcement. - Transitional Period
Registration with MOCI by both Public ESO and Private ESO must be done within 1 year as of the enactment date of GR 71 or the latest on 10 October 2020; and
Public ESO, which on the enactment date of GR 71 has been in operation, must comply with the requirement under Article 20 (2) of GR 71 namely to manage, process and place its electronic system and electronic data in Indonesia’s territory within 2 years as of the enactment of GR 71 or the latest on 10 October 2021.
