Proyecto de Ley 9906/2024-CR, introduced before the Congreso de la Republica on , would enact a standalone digital-security law. Its stated purpose, per the bill's own exposicion de motivos, is to strengthen information security in Peru against unlawful conduct that seeks to access, damage, or remove digital information belonging to a natural or legal person under public or private law alike.

Article 5 creates a Comite de Ciberseguridad that plans cyberattack-mitigation action lines for public institutions. Article 7 separately empowers that Comite to adopt guidelines addressed to a private institution to counter security breaches. Article 8 separately requires a public and a private entity to cooperate with each other to maintain national cybersecurity.

As introduced, the bill sets no incident-reporting clock and creates no agency with inspection or sanctioning power over a private institution's compliance, a gap a comparative commentary measures against Chile's Ley 21663 (Ley Marco de Ciberseguridad), which the same commentary names as the region's first cybersecurity framework law. The commentary the bill is read from is dated and describes no committee report or floor vote.
