Internal Security Audit Protocols for Corruption Cases Involving Staff Members in Defence-Related Organisations

Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence (a) whether there is an established protocol to conduct internal security audits whenever a staff member at a defence related organisation is charged with corruption; (b) if so, whether such audits specifically investigate if national security secrets or sensitive operational data have been compromised; and (c) what additional oversight measures are taken for procurement involving sensitive facilities.

The Ministry of Defence has established protocols to audit sensitive areas and corruption cases for security breaches. Appropriate scrutiny and governance measures are in place. We cannot share further details for security reasons.
