The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) developed in 2013 its IT Master Plan (SDI), with the support of the European Union. In order to ensure its implementation, an Assistance to the "Maîtrise d’Ouvrage" (AMOA) was set up with support from the World Bank and has started its work on 1 April 2015.

It is in the context of this implementation of the priority projects of SDI that the European Union has funded the offerings of Wadi Mseddi, an International Expert in Security of Information Systems, to develop the Security Policy of the Information System (PSSI) of MEF.

5 months of work, involving both the Expert International, AMOA and all branches of the MEF, have allowed to lead to the development of the PSSI of MEF in accordance with the best practice and international standards in term of Security information such as ISO 27002 and ISO 27005.

After a first session of technical validation of the PSSI of the Ministry of Finance, the PSSI was signed on 5 February 2016 by the Secretary of State, Ronald Grey Decembre and came into effect the same day for an indefinite period.

This security policy is strategic for the Ministry as far as it defines the framework, guidelines and the information system of securing of the information system. Its application will ensure both the integrity, availability, confidentiality and traceability of MEF data, which is of vital importance to the Haitian state.

The PSSI will provide a single security framework for all entities of the MEF and therefore must be respected by all internal and external users of the information system of the Ministry of Finance. Furthermore, all MEF projects and especially the IT Master Plan projects must comply with the Security Policy.
