The plan is designed to secure timely, coordinated, efficient and effective enforcement of the law. It specifies the roles of lead and coordinating agencies and coordination mechanisms among ministries, ministry-level agencies, Government bodies, and People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities nationwide. It also targets greater public awareness of the law and higher sense of enforcement responsibilities among authorities at all levels, relevant agencies and entities.
From 2026 onward, the Ministry of Public Security (MoPS), working together with the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Voice of Vietnam, Vietnam Television, Vietnam News Agency, other ministries and government bodies, municipal and provincial People’s Committees, and media outlets will run communications campaigns to disseminate and guide the law’s enforcement through mass media.
The MoPS will also partner with relevant ministries, agencies and local authorities to compile materials and offer intensive training conferences aimed at improving legal knowledge and professional expertise in cybersecurity for agencies, units, and localities.
It will also review legal documents related to the law within its jurisdiction. Ministries, ministery-level agencies, municipal and provincial People’s Committees are required to perform similar reviews in their respective domains and submit findings to the MoPS before April 1. The ministry will compile the results and report to the PM before June 15.
At the same time, the MoPS will lead the drafting and issuance of detailed regulations and guiding documents before July 1, in coordination with the Government Office, the Ministry of Justice, and relevant agencies. These include Government decrees detailing several articles of the Law on Cybersecurity, the fight against cybercrime and hi-tech crime, cybersecurity protection for information systems, procedures for cybersecurity protection, business activities involving cybersecurity products and services, administrative penalties in cybersecurity and personal data protection, and rules governing the cybersecurity protection force.
By July 1, the Ministry of National Defence, in collaboration with the Government Office, the MoPS, the Ministry of Justice, and relevant agencies, will draft and issue two Government decrees concerning civil cryptography activities and some articles of the Law on Cybersecurity within its remit.
The MoPS will also draft the PM’s decision on the list of critical information systems tied to national security, targeted for issuance by December 31.
From 2026 onward, the MoPS will work with ministries, ministry-level and Government agencies, local authorities, and relevant entities to monitor compliance with the law and its guiding documents.
