Digital Code, digital resilience incident notification

cite Digital Code, Law No. 178, Art. 63 stage RECENT in force 7 months effective 2026-02-06 kind Breach notification binds public and private bodies reviewed 2026-08-29

What it requires

  • An app that suffers a security incident affecting the personal data of Kyrgyzstani individuals should notify the sectoral regulator within 72 hours of discovery, and a processor should notify its controller within 48 hours, describing the incident, affected users, a responsible contact, consequences, and remedial measures. Whether this general digital-resilience duty is Kyrgyzstan's operative personal-data breach-notification mechanism, rather than a general cybersecurity duty reaching personal data incidentally, is not fully confirmed.

What we found

Chapter 11's own security article, Art. 88, carries no notification duty.

A general incident-notification duty exists instead at Art. 63, "Digital Resilience," outside Chapter 11 proper, now read in full at the official source in a reviewer pass and confirmed word for word: a record-owner or digital-service provider must notify the sectoral regulator of an incident affecting digital resilience or the rights and legitimate interests of subjects of legal relations in the digital environment within 72 hours of discovery (Art. 63(5); a late notice must explain the delay), and a processor must notify the record-owner within 48 hours of discovery (Art. 63(6)), with the notice describing the incident and an estimate of affected users, a responsible contact, a description of consequences, and remedial measures taken (Art. 63(7)), updated as new facts emerge (Art. 63(8)).

Art. 63 remains a general digital-resilience duty positioned outside Chapter 11 rather than a dedicated personal-data breach article, and Chapter 11 was not found to cross-reference it explicitly in what was read, but its own text plainly extends to "the rights and legitimate interests of subjects" in the digital environment, which covers a personal-data incident.
