INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Self-Assessment Criteria
§§ The Provider-Based Evaluation (ProBE) 2015 sets a new approach to the assessment
with an introduction of Mandatory & Non-Mandatory Criteria:-
¤¤ Mandatory Criteria (4 Criteria)
èè
Noncompliance of Mandatory Criteria will result in website receiving a
maximum of 3 stars
¤¤ Non-Mandatory Criteria (28 Criteria)
èè
While the Non-Mandatory Criteria will be assessed as usual, more
stringent scoring mechanism is set in order to increase the website
usage and to improve the user experience
§§ The selection of 4 Mandatory Criteria is based on critical criteria from the 7 pillars
which are Loading Time, Downtime (New addition), Updated Content as well as
Responsiveness Within Client’s Charter.
§§ The ProBE 2015 is aligned to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).
¤¤ 7 pillars of user satisfaction. Similar to the previous year

Pillar 1
The speed, consistency and reliability of loading pages on the website.
Pillar 2
The usefulness, convenience and variety of online features and tools available on
the website.

Pillar 4

Pillar 5

(Although this element is not applicable universally, it is often extremely impactful
for sites where it is relevant).

Why are we required to capture screenshot(s) of the assessed pages?
The screenshot(s) are evidences to support your submission to the Self-Assessment
System. The ProBE auditors will conduct their audits by checking the screenshot(s)
against the websites.
Why does my website rated N/A?
N/A indicates Not Accessible. It may be due to several reasons such as Under
Construction or page error. Three attempts will be made for three consecutive weeks.
Should the website still not available for assessment, it will then be rated as N/A.
What is the default internet browser used by MDeC when going into government websites?
We will randomly try any browser. However, Internet Explorer will be a definite browser
to view government websites.
When will MDeC assess my website?
All agencies are required to undertake self-assessment. MDeC assessment will be
conducted on random basis and therefore there is no specific date as to when MDeC
will be assessing your agency’s website.

FAQ
Why must the general e-mail address of agency not be written as it is?
When e-mail address is written as per norm, it is click-able and copy-able, hence allowing

FAQ
Can we use Google Translator for English section?
Due to its inaccuracy in translation, agency will not obtain any marks for the provision
of English Language via any translation tool including Google Translator.
I have provided online translator for third language but no marks are rewarded. Why is that so?
The online translator used may not translate the content of your website appropriately
or may contain error. Therefore please check that the translator is working from time to
time.
My agency has published a report in Malay Language. Does it require translation to English
Language to be published on the website?
No. Publications do not require translation to other languages so that it can be
published on the website.
What are the main reasons for agency not being able to score any mark English Language?
The main reasons are the mixture of languages in the English section. For instance, a
banner in Malay language is displayed in the English Language version of the website.
Do we have to translate special names in Malay Language to English Language for the English

increased to 5 during the audit period?
