Background
The Cyber Security Law (“CSL”), one of the most controversial laws of Vietnam, was adopted by the National Assembly on June 12, 2018. The CSL will come into force beginning January 1, 2019 and the Vietnam government is drafting decrees and circulars to implement it.

In general, the CSL incorporates the security rules stipulated in existing laws like the Law on Cyber-Information Safety, Law on Telecommunications, and Law on Information Technology. At the same time, it introduces new and severe rules to ensure that the activities conducted in cyberspace will not affect the national security, social order and safety of Vietnam.
