Maintaining a reliable, accessible registration system is the primary
function of the Land Registry. We have been utilising modern information
technology to increase the security, accuracy and accessibility of land
records. The security design of the Integrated Registration Information
System of the Land Registry is based on a comprehensive security risk
assessment. Leading edge technologies for authenticity, integrity, confidentiality
and availability have been deployed. To meet world class security standards,
the Land Registry commissions external independent consultants to conduct
security audits of the system regularly. Our aim is to ensure that our
customers and the community can
- Trust the integrity of the data in the system;
- Trust the integrity of operations and use of the data; and
- Trust that the system will be available for use whenever it is needed.
In 2003/04, the Land Registry, with our partners and contractors, maintained
a high level of availability for existing systems. No security breaches
were recorded. No loss of data was encountered.
