The importance and necessity of handling confidentiality qualifications
One of the most important elements of military-civilian integration is to break through the barriers between the military and civilians, so that market entities such as enterprises can participate in military affairs, that is, civilian participation in the military. However, civilian participation in the military does not mean completely liberalizing military secret-related fields or lowering confidentiality standards. No matter how military-civilian integration "removes barriers, breaks ice, and removes barriers," it must be promoted on the basis of ensuring the security of state secrets. The basic requirements must be adhered to, and the bottom line of confidentiality must be adhered to.
The essence of the relationship between confidentiality and liberalization is the relationship between security and development, but when the two conflict, the former even takes precedence over the latter. To this end, it is necessary to set up a "safety valve" for civilian participation in the military, to properly control the "entry gate" of military-civilian integration, and to filter out companies that do not have the ability to keep secrets or have the risk of leaks, so as to ensure the security of national secrets without fail. Affect the advancement of civilian participation in the army. The confidentiality qualification (grid) system is this "safety valve".
The reason why the confidentiality qualification (grid) system is regarded as a "safety valve" is that the essence of the confidentiality qualification (grid) is an administrative license. Administrative licensing is a management method of national administrative agencies, which has the functions of controlling danger, allocating resources, and proving or providing certain reputation and information. Compared with other administrative management methods, it has three main characteristics and advantages: one is that it is pre-examination, which can prevent problems before they happen; the other is that it is open to all market entities, and the rules are basically open, relatively fair, just, and open, and can promote competition. It is also conducive to the allocation of resources; the third is qualification, not one discussion, which not only improves efficiency, but also reduces the burden on enterprises and saves administrative costs.
The "safety valve" of the confidentiality qualification (grid) system has a significant impact on the smooth advancement of civilian participation in the military and should be given high priority. Too tight the "safety valve" will restrict the entry of market players and hinder the process of civilian participation in the army; too loose will create a risk of leaks and cause damage to national security.
According to the Confidentiality Law and its implementation regulations, the state secrecy administrative department has set or led the implementation of 3 secrecy qualifications (cells), which are the qualification certification for printing state secret carriers, the qualification certification for confidential information system integration, and the scientific research and production of weapons and equipment. Confirmation of unit confidentiality qualification.
In recent years, the identification and management of various types of confidentiality qualifications (qualifications) have resolutely implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and in accordance with the reform requirements of the State Council’s administrative examination and approval "delegation, control and service", the system has been continuously optimized, policy standards have been improved, and the military-civilian integration has been substantive. Progress and phased results have made important contributions. However, with the in-depth advancement of the military-civilian integration strategy, the confidentiality qualification system has also exposed a series of problems, especially when compared with the work requirements of promoting the in-depth development of military-civilian integration and building a military-civilian integrated national strategic system and capabilities. A certain gap. Mainly manifested in:
1. Military procurement has excessive requirements on corporate confidentiality qualifications, which hinders the smooth advancement of civilian participation in the military. In the process of military-related procurement, some procurement units have made excessive demands. For military research and production projects that do not involve state secrets, or that only involve background and purpose, they still require bidders to have confidentiality qualifications (frames); the degree of confidentiality is not relevant. High subcontracts, but because of the high degree of confidentiality involved in the general contract, the bidders are still required to have high-level confidentiality qualifications. This has caused many companies to be excluded. This violates the basic spirit of military-civilian integration and is also designed for civilian participation. Obstacles. This kind of phenomenon also exists in the procurement of many government departments, restricting companies that do not have confidentiality qualifications (qualifications) to participate in competition, and also undermining the fairness and justice of government procurement.
2. The categories of confidentiality qualifications (cells) are not common to each other, and repeated reviews reduce efficiency and increase burdens. The General Office of the State Council has 3 confidential qualifications (cells), but there are 9 qualification categories (system integration, software development, integrated wiring, security monitoring, and shielding room construction) for confidential information system integration and national secret carrier printing qualifications. , System consulting, engineering supervision, operation and maintenance, data recovery) and 4 qualification categories (printing of confidential documents, printing of unified examination papers, printing of secret-related anti-counterfeiting bills, printing of secret-related optical electromagnetic media, including file digitization Processing). Although the confidentiality qualification (grid) is mainly for the review and recognition of the company's confidentiality ability, according to the current regulations, the above-mentioned qualification categories are not universal. For example, if an enterprise has obtained the confidentiality qualification for the scientific research and production of weapons and equipment, it does not mean that it can undertake confidential information system integration business; it does not mean that it can engage in confidential information system integration (system integration) qualifications. Confidential information system integration (software development) business. In order to carry out different secret-related businesses, enterprises must apply for multiple confidentiality qualifications (divisions) or qualification categories, and the confidentiality administration department also needs to conduct repeated reviews, which not only reduces efficiency, but also increases the burden on the enterprise and pushes up the cost of institutional transactions. , Wasted administrative resources.
3. The management of confidentiality qualification (qualification) is absent in many fields, and security risks are prominent. With the deepening of the military-civilian integration strategy, military-civilian integration will expand from the initial scientific research and production, military support, personnel training, national defense mobilization and other key areas to broader emerging areas such as ocean, space, and cyberspace. There are three existing areas. The confidentiality qualification (frame) is far from being able to meet the requirements of this process. For example, in recent years, with the deepening of military-civilian integration, in the fields of military facility construction and military-related intermediary services, many social enterprises have undertaken secret-related projects, contacted and learned about secret-related information. However, for these companies, there are no corresponding confidentiality qualifications (qualifications) and confidentiality standards. Although the purchasing unit and the enterprise undertaking the confidential project have also signed a confidentiality agreement to clarify the confidentiality obligation, many companies still lack basic confidentiality awareness and common sense. And confidentiality management capabilities, without the ability to protect security and confidentiality technology, the hidden dangers of confidentiality management loopholes are very prominent.
4. There are hidden dangers in the management of secret-related personnel in qualification (grid) units. The pre-employment review and determination of secret-related personnel of qualification (grid) units, the management of going abroad for the record, and the management of the secrecy period after leaving the post, all have the nature of public power to a certain extent, but according to the current regulations, they are not allowed to The qualification (grid) unit that has the administrative resources is responsible. Many units reported that it was difficult to implement. Moreover, with the deepening of military-civilian integration, a large number of private enterprises have entered the field of military-related services. Compared with state-owned enterprises, private enterprises have large personnel mobility and relatively complex backgrounds. Private enterprises have relatively simple personnel management methods. They have no political discipline management methods and party discipline management is relatively weak. It is difficult to manage secret-related personnel in these enterprises. Bigger.
