Overview
The regulatory picture
Mongolia enacted a Law on Cyber Security and a Law on Personal Data Protection in December 2021, both effective from May 2022. Together they establish a national cybersecurity council, a response body, obligations on operators of critical information infrastructure, and a personal data regime covering consent, security obligations and breach handling.
In practice the regime is still maturing: subordinate regulation and enforcement precedent are limited compared with the rest of the region. We list Mongolia because we cover it commercially, and we track headline legislative developments, but we do not claim the depth of coverage we maintain for Singapore, Australia or Japan, and buyers here should expect to take local legal advice rather than rely on this page.

CITA
Law on Cyber Security (2021)
Effective May 2022. Establishes a national cybersecurity council and response body, and obligations on operators of critical information infrastructure.
Why it matters for file security. Creates a general information security obligation for critical infrastructure operators. File-borne threat handling sits inside that obligation but is not prescribed in detail.
How Glasswall addresses it. Where an operator is establishing baseline controls, deterministic rebuild of untrusted inbound files is a strong default that does not depend on local threat intelligence coverage.

About this page
This page is a working reference for organisations operating in Mongolia.
It is not legal advice. Regulatory obligations depend on how an organisation is designated, which sector it operates in and how its systems are architected, take local advice before relying on any of this for a compliance decision. Where we describe how Glasswall relates to an obligation, we are describing a control, not certifying an outcome.
