Brazil and Mendoza advance cyber law plans

Brazil and Mendoza advanced in parallel on cybersecurity legislation. In Brazil’s federal Senate, Bill 4,752 of 2025 is still under consideration. The measure establishes a Legal Framework for Cybersecurity and creates a National Digital Security and Resilience Program. In Mendoza, Argentina, a cybersecurity bill backed by the provincial executive received a favorable report in the Committee on Legislation and Constitutional Affairs and is now ready to be debated in the next session of the provincial Senate.

What does the Mendoza proposal seek to do?

According to information published by Los Andes, the initiative seeks to create the Provincial Cybersecurity System. The scheme would coordinate policies for prevention, detection, response and recovery in cases involving incidents that affect computer systems or critical information belonging to the provincial government.

The Mendoza bill is now moving to the chamber after clearing committee review, while in Brazil the debate is unfolding in the upper house of Congress through a proposal aimed at organizing the legal framework and establishing a specific national program.

In both cases, at different institutional levels, the bills under discussion aim to structure the state response to digital incidents and define coordination mechanisms within the public sector.
