- This binds you if you operate an information system or provide information services through one, reaching Belarus or established there, whatever your sector or size: Law No. 455-Z defines an information system operator broadly and lists a private legal entity or an individual entrepreneur among the subjects of information relations it reaches.
- Ensure the integrity and safety of the information your system holds.
- Take measures to prevent disclosure, loss, distortion, destruction, or unauthorized modification of that information, and to prevent blocking of legitimate access to it.
- Where necessary, take measures to restore information that has been lost.
- This duty runs independently of Belarus's comprehensive personal-data statute, Law No. 99-Z, which carries its own security and breach-notice duties recorded separately under the privacy topic; article 40 reaches whatever information your system holds, not only personal data.
