What is the Social Security IT Department?

The Social Security IT Department is a common service for managing information and communication technologies in the Social Security system. It has its own legal personality and full capacity to work to meet its purpose. Dependant on the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and  Migration, it belongs to the State Secretariat for Social Security and Pensions with the rank of Sub-directorate General.

The Social Security IT Department Manager is responsible for managing the common service, although the actions of the Social Security IT Department will adapt to the guidelines established by the Social Security General Council for Information and Communication Technologies, notwithstanding the duties attributed by current regulations to the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration’s Ministerial Committee for the Digital Administration.

The Social Security IT Department shall exercise the powers provided for in Article 5 of Royal Decree 508/2000, of 14 April, through the Social Security Computer Accounting Centre.

The IT Department budget for expenses will differentiate the budgetary assignment for specific items of the Social Security Computer Accounting Centre, while at the same time attributing all IT purchases to the bodies, Management Organisms and Common Services it depends on functionally. Until the budget is separated appropriately, its budget will be included in the budget of the Social Security General Treasury, with the appropriate functional separation.

What are its powers?

  • Draw up management plans for the IT and telecommunications systems and submit them to the Management Organisms, Social Security General Treasury and the Social Security Public Accounts Department, for their subsequent presentation to the Social Security general Council of information and communication technologies.
  • Propose the creation, development and modification of information systems.
  • Evaluate, audit and take inventory of the current information systems and propose modifications to these systems, in order to ensure that they are perfectly coordinated with the general operating plan.
