(National Geological Archives)
The external service of classified geological data has always been one of the main problems that plague the socialized service of geological data. The state has always attached great importance to confidentiality, and in recent years, it has carried out a special inspection on the use and management of classified geological data for the first time. This paper analyzes the problems found in safety inspection, and puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to improve the management of classified geological data.
Keywords classified geological data service
In order to implement the spirit of the instructions of the central leadership and further strengthen the use and management of classified surveying and mapping results and geological data, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of National Security, the State Secrecy Bureau and the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information jointly conducted a special inspection on the use and management of classified surveying and mapping results and geological data in the national geological prospecting industry on 20131kloc-0/. The National Geological Archives participated in this inspection, and carried out confidential inspection in 12 units in Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Beijing, Yunnan and other provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), involving geology and mineral resources, nonferrous metals, water conservancy, environmental protection, coal, metallurgy, building materials and other industries. The following exchanges some information with geological data staff, providing reference for strengthening the management of classified geological data and preventing leakage in the future.
1 Check the situation
Through the safety inspection of these units, we have a certain understanding of the safety work in nonferrous metals, water conservancy, environmental protection, coal, metallurgy, building materials and other related industries. In the inspection, the units with good confidentiality and the units with problems basically account for half, and the units with poor confidentiality mostly have the following problems.
1) unit leaders and technicians pay insufficient attention to confidentiality and have a weak sense of confidentiality. Some staff members don't even know whether the unit has a safety Committee, and it is not clear who is in charge of the safety Committee.
2) The management and use of classified surveying and mapping results and classified geological data are not standardized, and the relevant management personnel have not been trained in confidentiality and have not been certified. There are some behaviors in the work, such as unclear account, unclear use, unauthorized copying, transfer and lending. Confidential information is not marked with classification and confidentiality period according to relevant regulations.
3) The use and management of secret-related computers are not standardized. The secret-related computers lack network management system and corresponding hardware environment, lack of technical measures to restrict the use of USB ports, CD-ROMs and wireless networks, and there are problems such as cross-use of mobile storage media by secret-related computers and non-secret-related computers, inadequate use and management of secret-related storage devices, failure to classify computers according to regulations, etc. The most prominent problem is that computers that store secret-related surveying and mapping results illegally surf the Internet.
2. The difference between classified surveying and mapping results and classified geological data management
In the special inspection of classified surveying and mapping achievements and the use and management of geological data in the national geological prospecting industry, we found that the management and use of classified surveying and mapping achievements in various units are more standardized than those of classified geological data, which may be related to the repeated safety inspections of classified surveying and mapping achievements. Therefore, we compare the differences in management and use between classified surveying and mapping results and classified geological data, as shown in table 1.

3. Security risks in the management of classified geological data
At present, the Detailed Rules for the Management of Classified Geological Data (No.69 [2008] of the Ministry of Land and Resources) implemented in the process of managing classified geological data is jointly issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources and the State Secrecy Bureau. The publication and implementation of this document simplifies the borrowing and utilization procedures of classified geological data and provides convenient and fast geological data services for the society. However, there are some problems in the process of file execution, which I hope can be solved.
3. 1 Lack of effective supervision over the units that use classified geological data.
Providing classified basic surveying and mapping results belongs to the function of administrative examination and approval, which is the responsibility of the Geographic Information and Map Department of the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information (Surveying and Mapping Results Management Department). As an administrative department, the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information, in order to strengthen the management of classified surveying and mapping results, often conducts confidential inspections on units that use classified surveying and mapping results, which, to a certain extent, enhances the attention of grassroots geological prospecting units to the management of classified surveying and mapping results and enhances their sense of confidentiality. Therefore, the management and use of classified surveying and mapping results by the inspected unit is more standardized than that of classified geological data. In contrast, in the Detailed Rules for the Management of Classified Geological Data, only the collection institutions (institutions) issue the Certificate of Borrowing and Copying Classified Geological Data, which lacks effective supervision and management of the units that borrow and use classified geological data, and fails to conduct confidentiality inspection on the use of classified geological data. Therefore, during the inspection, many units did not establish a ledger for the management and use of classified geological data, and the collected geological data were not filed in the reference room in time, and most of them were kept in the hands of project personnel, which left hidden dangers for the safe use of classified geological data to some extent.
3.2 There are different understandings of "providing confidential information to the outside world"
The definition of "providing information to the outside world" for classified surveying and mapping results is that no matter what the nature of the enterprise is, as long as personnel or funds are involved in foreign countries, they are regarded as foreign-related and need to go through the examination and approval procedures for providing surveying and mapping information to the outside world. For classified geological data, state-owned holding enterprises can provide classified geological data as long as the state-owned assets account for more than 5 1%, regardless of whether there is foreign capital.
3.3 Units applying for the use of classified information have different requirements for the materials to be provided.
According to the requirements of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Guarding State Secrets, the scope of state secrets should be strictly controlled, and the use of classified information should have a clear purpose and scope. Therefore, the use of classified surveying and mapping results needs to provide materials that can prove the purpose and scope of the use of classified information, such as project task book, power of attorney, contract, reply, cooperation agreement, etc. However, the use of classified geological data does not require the provision of materials that can explain the purpose and scope of the use of classified geological data, which leaves hidden dangers for the safe use of classified geological data to some extent.
4. Suggestions on strengthening the management of classified geological data
Recently, the state attaches great importance to confidentiality, and the confidentiality inspection is becoming more and more strict. In order to ensure that geological prospecting units using classified data can strictly manage classified data and prevent leakage, it is urgent to strengthen the supervision and management of the use of classified geological data. The Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Guarding State Secrets, which came into effect on March 14, 2004, has established a series of new systems and measures, which will bring great changes to our secrecy work. At the same time, with the development of market economy, more private enterprises, intermediaries and other "external forces" will participate in geological exploration, and it is necessary to consult confidential geological data. Therefore, according to the spirit of the new secrecy law and its implementing regulations, it is suggested to revise and improve the relevant systems for the management of classified geological data, strengthen the management of classified geological data, and further enhance the service capacity.
4. 1 Strengthen the supervision and management of the receiving units of classified geological data.
At present, the document "Detailed Rules for the Management of Classified Geological Data" lacks effective supervision and management on the borrowing and using units of classified geological data. Therefore, according to the spirit of the new secrecy law and the implementation regulations, it is suggested to improve the relevant service policies, strengthen the supervision and management of the units receiving classified geological data, carry out regular secrecy inspections, and urge the units receiving classified geological data to manage and use classified geological data in strict accordance with the relevant state secrecy regulations to ensure the security of state secrets.
4.2 Revise and improve the geological data service policy and establish a confidentiality review system.
At present, private enterprises, intermediaries and other "forces outside the system" are unable to apply for the Certificate of Borrowing and Reproduction of Classified Geological Data and use classified geological data. According to the provisions of the new secrecy law, these units can use classified geological data as long as they pass the confidentiality review. Therefore, it is suggested that the competent department of geological data should revise the current geological data service policy as soon as possible and establish a confidentiality review system. The state secrecy administrative department will conduct a confidentiality review of enterprises and institutions, and the geological data collection agency will provide classified geological data services to enterprises and institutions that have passed the review.
4.3 Establish the examination and approval system for foreign-related classified geological data.
At present, state-owned holding enterprises can provide classified geological data, regardless of whether there is foreign capital or not, which has security risks to some extent. At the same time, with the increase of foreign cooperation, it often happens to provide classified geological data for foreign companies and foreigners to carry out geological work. Therefore, according to the spirit of the new secrecy law, it is suggested to establish an examination and approval system for foreign-related classified geological data to ensure the safe use of classified geological data.
4.4 comprehensively standardize the storage and use of classified geological data.
The storage units and users of classified geological data should strengthen the construction of the management system of classified geological data, improve the approval process for the use of classified geological data, keep records of the use, and comprehensively standardize the storage and use of classified geological data. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen confidential publicity, actively carry out confidential education and training, effectively enhance the confidentiality awareness and protection skills of employees, and ensure the safety of confidential geological data.
