In a data security system, after completion of writing into a P-ROM, a switching circuit is open to thereby disconnect the connection between an internal bus and an external bus. In this state, it is impossible to read the contents out of the P-ROM. To read the contents, a protection releasing terminal is brought to "H". This causes a switching circuit to conduct to make possible read-out. The "H" signal is simultaneously supplied to an erasion signal generating circuit to erase a part selected by an erasion selecting switch. Secrecy is substantially maintained because a program in the P-ROM is not entirely read. The remainder except the erased portion can undergo checking for correctness of writing.
