“It’s better to make a bit of progress each day than to let things pile up,” is a quote I’d probably coin if I were someone important. But, alas, I’m not (yet). Still, I’m no fan of last-minute rushes either! I’m all about installments, step by step. That brings me to my latest deep dive: data management.
This week, I managed to squeeze in a quick chat with one of my seniors at work, who’s practically a data management guru. “I’m planning to bring up data management as a topic; any insights? Especially for state institutions, and ideally with some added value for our office.” Given his packed schedule—working in a department that’s practically open 25 hours a day—he got right to the point: “Have you checked out the PDP Act? We’re starting to draft derivative regulations that apply to Payment Service Providers (PJP).”
So, I looked it up, and suddenly it all seemed familiar! The PDP Act incorporates sections ‘adopted’ from the GDPR, the data protection law used across the EU. Naturally, my thoughts shifted to my research focus: Could this be the core of my study? Data Management, specifically Data Security, for citizens whose personal data is registered with PJPs in Indonesia—now that could be something impactful.
Hours went by, and my senior hadn’t replied. Maybe it was the seven-hour time difference, or maybe he got pulled back into office chaos. Either way, I decided not to wait around and started diving into references on my own to get things moving.
It seems I’m steering toward “Development of a Data Security Framework for Payment Service Providers (PJP) in Indonesia based on the PDP Law.” In further stages, I’m thinking of exploring:
- Identification of Security Standards
- Framework Design
- Audit and Monitoring Procedures
- Review of Leading Technologies and Best Practices
I think this won’t just stop at meeting campus or office needs but could become a practical guide with concrete steps for PJPs across Indonesia. Here’s to making steady progress, one day at a time!
