The State Institution "Data Protection Center" has been established under the Agency for Innovation and Digital Technologies under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan. Its primary objective will be to ensure cybersecurity and protect information in government information systems and data centers. This was announced at the Agency's press conference summarizing the results of the first half of 2026.
The Agency explained that the Center's activities are aimed at strengthening the security of state information systems, as well as organizing comprehensive control over the processes of collecting, processing, using, and disseminating data.
In addition, the institution will be responsible for implementing software mechanisms for information security. However, the Center's authority does not extend to information constituting a state secret.
According to the Agency, the creation of the Data Protection Center will improve the reliability, transparency, and resilience of government information systems, as well as strengthen the protection of government information resources in the context of the further development of digital technologies.
