Hong Kong Issues Code of Practice Under the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Ordinance

On 1 January 2026 Hong Kong’s Office of the Commissioner of Critical Infrastructure (Computer‑system Security) released a Code of Practice (CoP) under the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Ordinance, which also took effect that day. The CoP translates the Ordinance’s high‑level duties into concrete, sector‑wide cybersecurity requirements for critical‑infrastructure operators. Simultaneously, former police cyber‑crime chief Francis Chan Wing‑on was appointed commissioner for a three‑year term. While the CoP itself is not law, non‑compliance with any written directions referencing it constitutes an offence.
