Cyber Security Compliance in Cyprus
Cyprus's cyber security and data protection landscape is shaped by European regulations and national legislation. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies directly, supplemented by the national Processing of Personal Data (Protection of Individuals) Law 125(I)/2018, which established the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (CPDP) as the supervisory authority.
ResGuard Solutions provides Cypriot organisations with a comprehensive platform that simplifies the path to regulatory compliance — from initial assessment through certification and ongoing maintenance.
