Scores and risk labels are our own assessment, based on public sources as of the date shown. They are opinions, not findings or statements of fact about any government, organisation or group.

Scores start from a seeded CyberInsight assessment and move as new evidence is recorded. A dimension with no new evidence keeps its last valid contribution.

These dimensions have no evidence yet and are held unchanged: Critical-infrastructure exposure, Regulatory enforcement capability (inverse), Enterprise practice, Geopolitics and great-power risk, Historical incident severity, International cooperation, Laws and regulations, Regulatory capability, Strategy, Threat activity

automated calibration: not run · See the Methodology page for how scores are produced

Trend

A trend needs at least two monthly points; there is only one so far.

Automated coverage

Limited automated coverage

  • Automated coverage is limited: some official sources cannot currently be read, so the content below may be incomplete.
  • Last run (2026-10-12): 4 of 7 tier-1 sources readable.
  • Register areas only partly verified: personal data, critical infrastructure, cross-border data, cybercrime, telecom sector rules, regulator
  • Register areas not yet verified: incident reporting, telecom security, finance sector rules

This means some official sources cannot currently be read automatically, so this page may be incomplete. It does not mean the related laws or events do not exist.
