The findings are set out in a report by the Court of Auditors on the management and use of the MCloud platform for the period 2019–2025. The report is due to be discussed at the meeting of the Public Finance Control Committee on 11 November.
Most of the information systems outside MCloud are operated by the Public Services Agency, the State Tax Service, the Customs Service, the Ministry of Finance, etc.
Of the 407 information systems that were due to be migrated to the shared platform, 148 (36.4 per cent) continue to operate outside MCloud. According to the auditors, the causes include technological incompatibilities, a lack of software licences, security requirements and infrastructure limitations.
Another issue identified relates to public funds. Twenty-seven institutions continue to maintain their own server and storage infrastructure, and maintaining this cost the public purse 79.4 million lei in 2025 alone. These costs are incurred alongside those for the administration and development of MCloud.
Beneficiary institutions do not receive sufficient regular training on how to use the platform, and 56.4 per cent of support requests recorded in 2025 concerned operations such as access management, virtual machines, storage and firewall rules. Furthermore, the security architecture requires updating, and business continuity and disaster recovery plans must be tested.
The Court of Auditors has made 12 recommendations to the responsible institutions. These include updating the regulatory framework and security architecture, training staff, developing self-service tools for beneficiaries, establishing measurable performance indicators, and regulating the archiving and deletion of digital data.
