Unofficial reference summary
What This Regulation Covers
These CAC measures establish the public regulatory framework for security assessment of certain cross-border data transfers, including application materials, assessment factors, review stages, and validity concepts.
Why It Matters
Security assessment is one of the central mechanisms in China's cross-border data transfer framework and must be read alongside the PIPL, DSL, and later data-flow provisions.
Source-reading Note
The measures describe the assessment framework but do not, by themselves, resolve how the framework applies to a particular transfer.
