Clifford Chance

Our Cybersecurity Handbook aims to help organisations understand and comply with the diverse and evolving cybersecurity regulations that affect their activities.

It provides an overview of the cybersecurity regulatory frameworks in the following jurisdictions, with a focus on key legislation, regulatory bodies and enforcement in each: Australia, the Czech Republic, the EU (overviewing EU-wide legislation), France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mainland China, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Spain, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We are seeing a global trend towards increased cybersecurity regulation, often tightening existing requirements and affecting a broader range of businesses. While each jurisdiction's legal framework has its own specific features and areas of focus, there are common themes including increasing alignment with international standards, a growing focus on critical infrastructure protection, and a rising awareness of cyber risks among regulators, businesses and consumers.
