Abstract

The main concern of this study was to explore the strategies for improving information security for enhancement Government data privacy in public sector, Zanzibar Social Security Fund (ZSSF) as case study. Specifically, the explore the effect of restriction of access to information on enhancement Government data privacy in ZSSF, analyses the effect of encryption of all devices on enhancement Government data privacy in ZSSF. Also, the study explores the effect of backup of the office data on enhancement Government data privacy in ZSSF and finally the study analyses the effect of strong password on enhancement Government data privacy in ZSSF. A quantitative research approach was mainly employed with appropriate method of analysis for this study. The sample size for this study consists of 79 after dropping 19 respondents who don’t return the questionnaire survey. A questionnaire survey was used as data collection instrument. A descriptive statistical techniques of analysis were used to analyses the collected data from relevant respondents. The study has revealed that four predictors (Restriction of access to information, Encryption of all devices, Backup of the office data and Strong password) had a significant influence on enhancement Government data privacy in Zanzibar Social Security Fund (ZSSF). The study concluded that the information system leads to fulfill the substantial security of properties and confidentiality. Finally, the study recommended that The Information security policies should be adopted and must be developed based on standard Information Security Management System (ISMS) and data privacy.
