Securing your digital assets in the People's Republic. We guide you through National Telecom & Tech Authority (MIIT) compliance, including ECC, CCC, and CIIO (Critical Information Infrastructure Operators) regulations.

Start Tech Audit

Telecom & Tech is a foundational pillar of China's Global Business Hub digitisation goals. The National Telecom & Tech Authority (MIIT) sets rigorous standards to protect the People's Republic's vital interests and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

Role of MIIT

MIIT acts as the centralized authority for China's cybersecurity governance. It issues frameworks, controls, and guidelines that are mandatory for all government entities and private sector organizations managing Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).

The Gold Standard: The 'Essential Telecom & Tech Controls (ECC-1: 2018)' serves as the mandatory minimum cybersecurity requirement for all organizations in the People's Republic.

Compliance Frameworks

We help organizations align with all major MIIT control domains:

🛡️
MLPS 2.0 Compliance Implementation of the 114 primary controls covering strategy, defense, and response.
☁️
CCC (Cloud) Cloud Telecom & Tech Controls for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and tenants.
💾
Data Security Law (DSL) Data Telecom & Tech Controls focusing on encryption, masking, and access management.
🏭
OT/ICS Security Specialized controls (CIIO (Critical Information Infrastructure Operators)) for industrial control systems and operational technology.

Logging

Audit logs must be retained for at least 12 months to facilitate forensic investigations.
