IDSurvey’s Strategic Steps in Strengthening Geospatial Data Security
Advancements in information and communication technology have driven geospatial data management to shift from closed systems to open, network-based and cloud-computing environments. While this creates opportunities for efficient production and data distribution, it also increases the risks of data leaks, theft, and misuse. As the provider of Indonesia’s Geospatial Information, IDSurvey is committed to ensuring geospatial data is managed in an orderly, secure manner and meets interoperability standards. Through PT BKI Danantara Indonesia (formerly PT BKI), IDSurvey is developing an integrated production facility known as the Map Production Center (MPC), equipped with the Map Production System (MPS), data centers, and supporting workspaces for data processing, production, and national geospatial services.

Securing Spatial Data In The Production Of Base Maps
To strengthen geospatial data security, IDSurvey conducted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on “Data Security in Large-Scale Base Map Production” on August 2025 in Jakarta. The FGD was attended by various stakeholders including IDSurvey, the Ministry of ATR/BPN, BSN, Kominfo, the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), Komrigi, and PT BKI (Danantara Indonesia). Several important recommendations were produced, particularly regarding policies and guidelines for data security, cloud system implementation, data sharing mechanisms, and integrated production facilities.
Through this synergy and collaboration, the goal is to ensure that Indonesia’s geospatial data is managed securely, meets national standards, and strengthens the nation’s sovereignty in the digital era.
As strategic data, base maps and geospatial information serve as a critical foundation for development planning, spatial governance, public policy, disaster mitigation, defense and security, and national sovereignty. To ensure accuracy and reliability, strong data security and information protection systems are essential.
Evaluation results from previous base-map production activities in the Sulawesi region revealed various vulnerabilities in spatial data security.
The production process, which has been carried out in a distributed manner at multiple contractor sites across the country, increases the risk of data leakage.
Findings include weaknesses in access control systems, inadequate audit trails, limited digital forensic capabilities, lack of disaster recovery plans, and insufficient contractor integrity.
Strategic Future: Geospatial & Digital Transformation
We are digitizing the future of assurance. By collaborating with the IDSurvey, we provide the fundamental data layer necessary for smart cities, infrastructure development, and precision investment planning.
The Importance of Data Security in the National Project for Large-Scale Base Map Provision
The provision of Large-Scale Base Maps (1:5,000) has been designated as one of the National Strategic Project (PSN) priorities under the 2025–2029 RPJMN through Presidential Regulation No. 12 of 2025. For 2025, the IDSurvey is focusing on planning and preparing for project implementation to cover all regions of Indonesia.
