ABS & Co prepared Pakistan’s first National Cybersecurity Bill, aimed at regulating Cybersecurity Service Providers and establishing National and Regional Cybersecurity Response Teams to effectively address cybersecurity threats. The bill was drafted for National Computer Emergency Response Team (NCERT).
The draft was meticulously reviewed by multiple governmental and non-governmental stakeholders and was subsequently approved following the incorporation of their feedback and comments. The second draft has since been submitted to the Ministry of Information Technology & Telecommunication (MoITT) for consideration and progression towards the finalisation of the Bill.
The team advising on the matter was led by Sarjeel Mowahid and included Kanzal Abbas, Khawaja Saram, Abdullah Ghias, and Aitzaz Ahsan.
