Written Reply by Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing to Parliamentary Question on Internal Security Audits for Sensitive Security Breaches on 5 May

Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence (a) whether there is an established protocol to conduct internal security audits whenever a staff member at a defence related organisation is charged with corruption; (b) if so, whether such audits specifically investigate if national security secrets or sensitive operational data have been compromised; and (c) what additional oversight measures are taken for procurement involving sensitive facilities.

Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence, Mr Chan Chun Sing:

MINDEF has established protocols to audit sensitive areas and corruption cases for security breaches. Appropriate scrutiny and governance measures are in place. We cannot share further details for security reasons.
