• This applies to any operator of an electronic-communications network or an information system that offers a service in Cameroon, directly or indirectly; Cameroon's law does not gate this duty by sector, size, or a government designation, so it reaches a network operator, an electronic-communications service provider, and an information-system operator alike, except that article 2 excludes the specific applications used in national defense and security.
• Take all technical and administrative measures necessary to guarantee the security of the services you offer.
• Adopt standardized systems that let you continuously identify, assess, treat, and manage the risks to your information systems' security.
• Have Cameroon's National Information and Communication Technologies Agency (ANTIC) approve the security mechanisms you put in place for this purpose.
• Submit your networks and information systems to ANTIC's mandatory security audit, conducted at least once a year or whenever circumstances require it.
• Evaluate and revise your security systems as technology evolves, and make the changes your security practices, measures, and techniques need.
• Inform your users of the dangers of using your network or service, the specific security risks it faces, and the technical means available to secure their communications.
• Do not obstruct, resist, or prevent ANTIC's security audit, and do not refuse to provide the information or documents it requires; doing so is a criminal offense.
