Open questions: Does any Cabinet of Ministers implementing act set a baseline that reaches an information-system owner outside the state-secret and confidential-information category the Law itself makes mandatory?

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

State bodies, legal entities, and individuals must protect information resources and information systems that contain state secrets or confidential information; the Cabinet of Ministers sets the procedure for that protection. For any other information resource or system whose improper handling could harm its owner or another party, the owner or holder sets its own protection procedure, and the Law states no external minimum standard for it.

The Law's own general-responsibility clause (Art. 23) refers a violation to liability "in accordance with the established procedure" without naming an authority or a penalty.
