SUMMARY:
Governments play a pivotal role in addressing the growing significance of cybersecurity amidst the era of digitization. As the digital landscape evolves, they are tasked with designating the regulatory authorities responsible for overseeing national cybersecurity efforts. These authorities are crucial in shaping and enforcing the regulatory and legal frameworks that ensure the protection of digital infrastructures and assets. Consequently, Arab Advisors Group released a series of reports that examine governmental cybersecurity efforts in the GCC and Yemen. The third report of the series, Governmental Cybersecurity Efforts in the GCC and Yemen Series: Legislations and Regulations, which was released in April 2025, answers the below questions:
• Which countries within the GCC and Yemen have enacted cybersecurity legislation and regulatory frameworks?
• What specific cybersecurity laws and regulations are currently in place in each country under study?
• What penalties and enforcement measures are associated with each of these cybersecurity legislations?
• Which regulatory bodies or authorities are responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with cybersecurity laws in each country?
• What is the broader legal and strategic context surrounding the development of cybersecurity legislation across the GCC and Yemen?
