Oman: Latest developments in data protection and cybersecurity
In June 2020, the Sultan of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, issued Royal Decree No. 64 of 2020 establishing the Cyber Defense Centre. Although very short, the Decree represents one of the latest developments concerning the data protection and cybersecurity landscape in Oman. Article 1 of the Decree states that a centre by the name of “The Cyber Defense Centre” will be set up and that such centre will report into the Oman Internal Security Service (“ISS”). The Decree is brief and does not go much further than stating that bylaws and decisions necessary for the implementation of such a system will be issued by the Head of the ISS, and that anything contrary to the Decree and the system it implements is hereby repealed.
