The Northern Mariana Islands has no statute setting security requirements a software product or connected device must meet to be placed on the market, no general duty running to an authority or a computer security incident response team (CSIRT) to report an exploited vulnerability or a security incident, and no cyber-resilience regime comparable to NIS2, DORA, or a sector-specific security model law binding an essential, important, critical, or financial entity was located in the sources read.
Unlike Guam and the United States Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth also has no security-breach notification statute of any kind: an exact-phrase site search for "notification of breach" returned zero results across every collection the Commonwealth Law Revision Commission indexes, a keyword search for "security breach" returned sixteen Commonwealth Code hits that are all Uniform Commercial Code secured-transactions provisions using "security" in its collateral sense, and a search for "cybersecurity" returned zero Commonwealth Code hits at all; this is consistent with the jurisdiction's own privacy-topic finding, already filed, that the Commonwealth has no comprehensive personal-data statute and no breach-notification law.
Title 6's identity theft chapter, 6 CMC §§ 1721-1726 (Crimes Against the Person), criminalizes a person's own fraudulent use of another's personal identifying information and gives the victim a civil remedy against the thief; it is an offense committed by an intruder against a victim, the shape this topic's own seam rule assigns to the scraping topic rather than this one, and it is already filed there as a fraud and impersonation offense carrying no computer-access or scraping-specific doctrine of its own.
The Commonwealth Utilities Corporation Act's Duties section, 4 CMC § 8122, which covers CUC's supervision, construction, maintenance, rate-setting, and privatization authority over its electric, water, and sewer divisions, was read in full for this visit specifically to check for a cybersecurity duty on the Commonwealth's own critical-infrastructure operator and contains no match for "cyber" or "security" anywhere in its text; a broader code search for "critical infrastructure" returned eleven Commonwealth Code hits, all appropriations, land-compensation, and emergency-management provisions unrelated to a cyber-resilience regime.
The Investment Incentive Act of 2000's Qualifying Certificate program, 4 CMC § 50202, was also read in full: its eligibility list names fourteen priority business activities, including "internet related businesses and/or businesses engaged in internet commerce" and "manufacturing or processing of high technology products," alongside activities as varied as golf courses and dinner theaters, and none of the fourteen carries a cybersecurity, data-security, or vulnerability-handling condition, the same no-security-content finding already reached for Guam's parallel Qualifying Certificate program.
The Commonwealth's general Consumer Protection Act, 4 CMC § 5105, was read in full and lists thirty-four categories of unfair or deceptive trade practice; none of them addresses a business's own data-security or safeguards practices, and a code-wide search for "reasonable security" returned only Uniform Commercial Code secured-transactions provisions, so the Act carries no baseline security-programme duty of the kind NY SHIELD's GBL 899-bb or MA 201 CMR 17.00 impose.
