  • Report a cybersecurity incident to the relevant Sectoral Computer Emergency Response Team, or to the National Computer Emergency Response Team where the institution has no Sectoral team, within twenty-four hours after the incident is detected.
  • Where the institution is itself a cybersecurity service provider licensed by the Authority, also submit a periodic report on its operations, including any cybersecurity incident, within the period the Authority sets.
  • Failing to report within the twenty-four-hour window is an administrative penalty of not less than two hundred and fifty penalty units and not more than five thousand penalty units, payable to the Cyber Security Authority.
  • This binds the person in charge of any public or private institution in Ghana that detects a cybersecurity incident, not only the owner of a critical information infrastructure or a licensed cybersecurity service provider.
