Vietnam issued Decree 330 to establish administrative sanctions for violations of cybersecurity and personal data protection laws, effective August 19, 2026. The decree applies extraterritorially and includes fines up to 5% of revenue for cross-border data transfer violations and up to VND 3 billion for other data breaches.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

Vietnam's strict enforcement of cybersecurity and data protection penalties means you must ensure compliance immediately to avoid steep fines and legal risks. Offshore tech and service providers processing Vietnamese data face new cross-border data transfer rules that could threaten your market access.
