Our partner Jason Leung shares insights with Wen Wei Po on how Hong Kong is strengthening its data governance framework amid the rise of the data-driven economy.
Jason outlines the importance of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO), advocating practical security measures like encryption and hashing. He highlights cybersecurity insurance is also gaining traction as businesses seek protection against breaches and misuse. Looking ahead, new regulations such as the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Ordinance which mandates timely reporting of serious security incidents by critical infrastructure operators, and the publication of Standard Contract for the Cross-boundary Flow of Personal Information within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a digital economy hub.
