Ukraine’s digital transformation continues despite the war. In order for the information structure of our state to meet the requirements of global technological progress and for the country to successfully integrate into the international information space, Ukraine needs a single and effective platform of registers that will allow to quickly and efficiently create public electronic registers and information and communication systems.
A clear procedure for its functioning, as well as the procedure for using its software, was adopted by the Government today. Specialists of the BRDO participated in the development of the relevant resolution within the framework of the EU4DigitalUA project, financed by the EU and implemented by FIIAPP.
What was the problem?
State electronic registers were created and functioned in Ukraine not as a single system, but separately from each other. This was due to the fact that each state authority created registers according to its vision, taking into account its own specific functions. Simultaneously with the technological development of registers, the legislation regulating their use also developed in a decentralised manner.
As a result, Ukraine currently has:
- wide diversity and uneven technological maturity of software, integration interfaces and hardware used to operate registries;
- unreasonable costs for operation and development of existing systems;
- suboptimal structure and low quality of data in the registers (different values for marking the same essence in different registers; lack of history of changes);
- differences in information security requirements and non-compliance with existing requirements;
- complex process of monitoring, administration and update of registers.
How does the Registry Platform solve the problem?
The registry platform will be used to create, develop, test, administer, deploy, and maintain public electronic registries and information and communication systems.
The Platform will operate through a unified, automated and standardised process. Cyber protection of public electronic registers and the creation of their backup copies will also be ensured.
The Government Resolution approves:
- The procedure for functioning of the information system “Software platform for deployment and support of state electronic registers”;
- How to use its software.
The first procedure, adopted today by the Resolution, establishes a clear mechanism for the functioning of the Platform, the technical administrator of which is the SE “Ukrainian Special Systems”, the procedure and requirements for the creation or ordering of the creation, administration and maintenance of public electronic registers or information and communication systems. Thus, the holder of a public electronic register or the owner of an information and communication system can apply to the SE for quick, high-quality and standardised construction of the register/ICS, by concluding a payment contract for joining the Platform.
The second procedure, adopted today by the Resolution, establishes the mechanism for using the Platform software for the creation by state authorities, state enterprises, institutions, and organisations of their own register platforms, which in turn will allow the creation, administration and management of public electronic registers and information and communication systems, based on a free and open-ended contract for the use of the software concluded with the State Enterprise “USS” in agreement with the State Special Communications Administration.
