Cybersecurity Compliance in Colombia
The cybersecurity regulatory landscape in Colombia is one of the most developed in Latin America. With Law 1581 of 2012 (Habeas Data Law) and its regulatory decrees, Colombian businesses face rigorous obligations regarding personal data protection, information security and cyber risk management.
ResGuard Solutions offers Colombian organisations a comprehensive platform that simplifies the path to regulatory compliance — from initial assessment through certification and ongoing maintenance.
Regulatory Framework in Colombia
Businesses operating in Colombia must consider multiple regulatory frameworks and security standards:
- Law 1581 of 2012 — Personal Data Protection Law (Habeas Data), supervised by the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce (SIC)
- Decree 1377 of 2013 — Partially regulates Law 1581 of 2012, establishing requirements for authorisation, processing policies and international transfers
- SIC Single Circular — Instructions from the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce on the National Database Registry and security measures
- ISO 27001 — International standard for information security management systems (ISMS), increasingly adopted by Colombian companies
- External Circular 007 of 2018 (SFC) — Cybersecurity requirements for entities supervised by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia
