Security Agreement Signed with Microsoft

The Information Technology Services Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has agreed to participate in Microsoft’s Government Security Program (GSP). The GSP is a standing offer by Microsoft to permit government bodies to access without charge the software source codes and related information of various Microsoft 
Windows Operating System products subject to any US applicable export restrictions.

A department spokesman said the facilities offered under the GSP offer the HKSAR Government the opportunity to enhance its technology and support capability in the use of Microsoft products. The standard 3-year agreement does not commit the Government on the use of Microsoft products.
