Puerto Rico has no general private-sector security-baseline statute, no connected-device or product-security statute, and no private-sector vulnerability or incident-reporting duty of general application.
Ley 111-2005 (Ley de Información al Ciudadano sobre la Seguridad de Bancos de Información, 10 L.P.R.A. §§ 4051-4055), Puerto Rico's breach-notification act, was read in full for this visit specifically to check for a separate, freestanding security-measures article of the kind several US states pair with their own breach-notification duty.
It has none: Article 3 (10 L.P.R.A. § 4052) is a duty to notify affected residents of a security violation after it happens, not a duty to maintain safeguards beforehand, and Article 5 (10 L.P.R.A. § 4054) is a savings clause exempting an entity with pre-existing, equivalent-or-better institutional security policies from the notification duty itself, not an independent safeguards obligation of its own.
Ley 111-2005 stays entirely on this jurisdiction's privacy row, already filed there, with nothing left over for this topic.
The only enacted Puerto Rico statute that reaches a private company's security posture as such is the Ley de Ciberseguridad del Gobierno de Puerto Rico (Ley Núm. 40 de 18 de enero de 2024, según enmendada por la Ley Núm. 140 de 22 de julio de 2026; 3 L.P.R.A. §§ 10121-10135), and it is a sector regime rather than one of general application: Article 2 binds the Executive Branch, its agencies, public corporations and municipalities, and separately binds any natural or legal person who does business with or holds a contract with the Government, but only as to the public functions or services performed and the data generated by them.
The Commissioner of Insurance's Rule 108, a regulation rather than a statute, separately sets cybersecurity program and 72-hour notice duties for insurance licensees, filed as rows of its own.
Article 7 requires every Agency and every 'Proveedor de servicios contratados' (contracted service provider) to meet, and to make any person doing business or contracting with them meet, nineteen listed minimum cybersecurity standards, among them National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-based encryption of data in transit and at rest, PCI-DSS compliance for payment processing, mandatory multi-factor authentication after data classification, and required security certifications for a provider whose services touch cybersecurity or sensitive citizen data.
Article 7(10) requires an information-and-communications-technology contracted service provider to notify PRITS (the Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Service) and the contracting Agency within 48 hours of discovering a security incident or potential incident, and Article 7(11) requires a cybersecurity-services provider to file monthly status reports with PRITS.
Article 10 arms this with real exposure for a private contractor: monetary sanctions up to the contracted amount plus contractual and other damages for a Proveedor de servicios contratados found responsible for a violation, and a five-year bar from any Puerto Rico government contract for that provider or an entity sharing a significant number of the same people, on top of per-incident daily fines and per-violation fines the statute assesses against a non-complying Agency.
It binds a private business through its contract with the Puerto Rico Government.
No Puerto Rico statute setting security requirements a connected device or general software product must meet to be placed on the market, comparable to California's or Oregon's connected-device statutes or the Cyber Resilience Act, is confirmed in the primary sources read for this visit, nor did a targeted pass over the OGP Virtual Library's full reference-law index turn up an entry for one; the closest adjacent entries in that index are the organic act creating the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (Ley 4 de 1985, OCIF) and its supervisory jurisdiction over financial institutions, which names no cybersecurity regulation of its own in the index and is not researched further here.
The Penal Code's Article 172 cluster (Ley 146-2012, unauthorized appropriation, use, or disclosure of another's reserved personal data) stays filed on the privacy row, and its computer-sabotage and computer-fraud articles stay unfiled on the scraping row, exactly as this jurisdiction's existing privacy and scraping documents already record; neither attaches to a product's or a business's security posture as such, so neither is restated or refiled here.
The Government Cybersecurity Act, Ley 40-2024, requires every Agency to develop, document and implement a cybersecurity program in collaboration with PRITS. Ley 40-2024 requires a contracted service provider of information and communications technology to notify PRITS and the contracting Agency within 48 hours of discovering a security incident.
Rule 108 of the Commissioner of Insurance requires each insurance licensee to develop, implement, maintain and document a comprehensive written information security program. Rule 108 requires an insurance licensee to notify the Commissioner of a cybersecurity incident within 72 hours after determining that it occurred, when the Rule's criteria are met.
