On 1 July 2025, the Data Law (No. 2025/QH15), including operational conditions and licensing requirements for data products and services, enters into force. The law specifies that organisations providing data intermediary products and services, as well as those involved in data analysis, synthesis, and electronic authentication services, must follow a registration and licensing process. This includes adhering to specific legal and technical standards to ensure security, transparency, and lawful data usage. The Ministry of Public Security is responsible for assessing these organisations and issuing certificates verifying their eligibility to conduct business. Data exchange platforms must also be licensed by national data regulatory authorities.
