The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published a Q&A clarifying certification and security assessment requirements for cross-border transfers of personal information. Certification applies to processors transferring personal information of 100,000 to 1 million individuals or sensitive information of fewer than 10,000 individuals, while security assessments are mandatory for transfers exceeding those thresholds.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new thresholds for mandatory security assessments when transferring Chinese personal data abroad. Getting voluntary certification now can position you as compliant and ready before enforcement tightens.
