• Notify the sectoral regulator with jurisdiction over your sector no later than 72 hours after you discover the incident; if you notify later than that, explain the reason for the delay in the notice.

• In every notification, describe the incident and estimate the number of affected users, name a contact responsible for the incident or for personal-data processing, describe the incident's consequences and the remedial measures already taken, and update the notification as new facts emerge.
• This binds any record owner or digital service provider whose digital environment reaches a user in Kyrgyzstan, on any incident affecting digital resilience or the rights and legitimate interests of a digital-environment participant, not only an incident that exposes personal data.
