Vietnam's Law on Cybersecurity No. 116/2025/QH15, in force since 1 July 2026, replaced the 2018 Law on Cybersecurity and the 2015 Law on Cyberinformation Security, with the Ministry of Public Security as the lead authority and Decree 333/2026 (August 2026) filling in detail. Information systems are classified into five levels, and systems critical to national security need appraisal, certification and annual self-inspection. Service providers must authenticate accounts, answer user-data requests within 24 hours and take down unlawful content within 24 hours, keep logs for 12 months, identify IP addresses, store listed Vietnamese user data in Vietnam and, for foreign providers, open a local office when required. Legacy systems must meet the new measures by 1 July 2027.

What is Vietnam Law on Cybersecurity (No. 116/2025/QH15) and who does it apply to?

Vietnam Law on Cybersecurity (No. 116/2025/QH15) is a compliance framework from Vietnam with 5 domains and 19 controls. Vietnam's Law on Cybersecurity No. 116/2025/QH15, in force since 1 July 2026, replaced the 2018 Law on Cybersecurity and the 2015 Law on Cyberinformation Security, with the Ministry of Public Security as the lead authority and Decree 333/2026 (August 2026) filling in detail. Information systems are classified into five levels, and systems critical to national security need appraisal, certification and annual self-inspection. Service providers must authenticate accounts, answer user-data requests within 24 hours and take down unlawful content within 24 hours, keep logs for 12 months, identify IP addresses, store listed Vietnamese user data in Vietnam and, for foreign providers, open a local office when required. Legacy systems must meet the new measures by 1 July 2027. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does Vietnam Law on Cybersecurity (No. 116/2025/QH15) actually require?

Vietnam Law on Cybersecurity (No. 116/2025/QH15) has 19 controls organised across 5 domains.
