최근 개인정보보호법 개정 동향과 보호조직 개선과제 연구

Abstract

In order to successfully implement the Fourth Industrial Revolution, various big data is required. Especially, personal information must be accumulated and utilized to apply it to personal life. However, since there is a massive leakage of personal information in areas closely related to people's lives protection measures should be strengthened as much as they are used. In the past, the government recognized the industrial importance of personal information and reviewed the utilization plan in individual laws, but the actual reorganization of personal information protection organization was not achieved. Moon Jae-in, who was launched in 2017, intends to reorganize the Big Data Industry Activation Policy and Protection Organization System to utilize and protect personal information. However, considering the revision of the government, it is still not enough to play a role as an independent organization. The reorganization of the Personal Information Protection Organization should strengthen the legal status by setting the Personal Information Protection Commission as the central administrative agency. In particular, the government should secure real authority through the exclusion of supervisory authority by the Prime Minister In addition, it will strengthen the use of personal information as well as protection through the participation of professional manpower with technical insight. Finally, the distributed organization should be organically integrated through the reorganization and efficiency of the current protection system. The Internet Promotion Agency should be transferred and the Korea Personal Information Protection Agency should be newly established. Recently, various amendments are meaningful in that they have strengthened protection measures as well as personal information utilization. However, since the reorganization of the Personal Information Protection Commission is still insufficient, it should be actively reviewed during the parliamentary debate process
