Following the release of Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law, and the Cybersecurity Law (draft for comment), China is accelerating its pace in standards development in support of those laws and regulations. To picture a clear map for EU stakeholders, SESEC closely examines relevant laws&policies, regulations, as well as the standardisation from 2020 to 2022.
To better inform EU stakeholders, on 18 January 2023, SESEC held an webinar on China’s Cybersecurity and Data Protection Standardisation, which brings together different EU stakeholders. A total of 60 registrations are recorded. During the webinar, Dr. Betty Xu, the Director of SESEC, introduced the major laws and regulations, policies, as well as relevant standardisation. Particularly, Betty Xu offered her insights on
- the plan and working progress of National Information Security Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC260) in 2022,
- standards in support of Data Security Law& Personal Information Protection Law;
- white paper on AI security, Network Security Situation Awareness Standards, and 5G Network Security Standards;
- case study: office equipment security standard;
- future standardization work.
In the Q&A section, Dr. Betty Xu further explained the participants’ confusion over China’s cybersecurity and data protection standardisation. In general, the webinar received positive feedback from the participants.
