Hanoi:The 16th National Assembly, currently in its second session, subjected the draft Law on Data Security to a detailed review during a plenary session held on the morning of November 4.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the proposed legislation aims to establish a comprehensive framework for data security, specifying rules, safeguards, and the rights and responsibilities of involved parties. It also outlines the role of state management in enforcing these provisions.

The draft law is designed to apply not only to Vietnamese entities but also to foreign entities operating within Vietnam. Additionally, it targets foreign entities outside Vietnam that engage in data processing under Vietnamese jurisdiction or violate the country's data security laws.
