The Digital Government Secretariat (SGD), is the Chilean government institution responsible for proposing and coordinating the implementation of the Digital Government Strategy, ensuring an integrated government approach. SGD coordinates, advises, and provides cross-sector support in the strategic use of digital technologies, data, and public information to improve state administration and service delivery. To fulfill this mission, SGD relies on AWS to operate critical digital platforms including Clave Única (Single Sign-on), FirmaGob (Digital Signature), the State Electronic Services Integration Platform (PISEE), DocDigital, SIMPLE, and the Administrative Procedures and Services Catalog (CPAT), among others.
