The National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with five other key departments, has unveiled a comprehensive plan aimed at bolstering the governance of data circulation security and accelerating the marketization and valuation of data elements. This plan emphasizes the necessity of reinforcing the application of data circulation security technology, fostering technological innovation, refining relevant standards, and advising enterprises to adopt tailored security measures based on data classification and sensitivity levels.

For general data, enterprises are encouraged to autonomously implement security measures for circulation and utilization. For critical business information, the plan recommends leveraging data circulation infrastructure to ensure robust protection. Regarding important data, the plan underscores the importance of developing its value in accordance with laws and regulations, while ensuring national security, personal privacy, and public safety remain paramount.
