This research analyses privacy and data security issues in the e-government sector in Indonesia through a qualitative approach with a bibliometric analysis method. As a developing country, Indonesia has shown progress in the implementation of e-government, which is reflected in the increasing rankings in the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) released by the United Nations. However, behind these developments, there are significant challenges related to personal data protection and cybersecurity. The novelty of this research lies in its bibliometric approach, which provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of existing studies on data security and privacy in Indonesia's e-government sector. Unlike previous studies that focus on case studies or policy evaluations, this research maps research trends, key contributors, and gaps in the literature, offering a broader perspective on the issue. Additionally, this study contributes by highlighting the urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration between policymakers, cybersecurity experts, and the public to develop sustainable security strategies. The results of this study emphasise the need for a comprehensive strategy to improve data security in e-government, including strengthening regulations, investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, and promoting public digital literacy. In the absence of concrete measures to address these challenges, the risk of data leakage is likely to persist, jeopardising the sustainability of digital transformation in Indonesia.
