The State Administration for Market Regulation has officially approved the new mandatory national standard titled 'Security Requirements for Satellite Navigation and Positioning Reference Station Networks.' This initiative, proposed by the Ministry of Natural Resources, aims to establish a comprehensive technical framework for the construction and operation of these networks.
The standard introduces a clear classification system for reference station services, distinguishing between surveying benchmarks and general social services. This categorization provides a unified regulatory basis for oversight, ensuring that all network operations align with national standards for geospatial data security.
Facility security is now subject to strict controls, including a ban on unauthorized installations within military zones. Operators must implement tiered access management and obtain Level 3 cybersecurity protection certification for all data processing and management systems to maintain operational integrity.
Data security protocols mandate the classification of information based on sensitivity levels. Raw observation data must be transmitted via dedicated wired networks or encrypted using commercial cryptographic technologies. Furthermore, services involving significant data require user identity verification and access control.
Operational safety is further reinforced by requirements for security isolation measures when handling sensitive data. Additionally, stations providing services to the public must perform regular traceability checks against the national unified surveying benchmark to ensure data reliability and service security.
