Malabo Convention · AU Cyber Security & Data Protection · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Align to the Malabo Convention, without decoding its three pillars into controls yourself.
Every Malabo obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready control, across electronic transactions, personal data protection and cyber security and cybercrime, with the evidence a national authority examines.
Aligned in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. The African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection, the Malabo Convention, entered into force in 2023 and shapes national law across ratifying states. It runs on three pillars: rules for electronic transactions and e-commerce, a full personal data protection regime with principles, controller duties, data subject rights and a national protection authority, and a cyber security and cybercrime framework covering critical infrastructure and substantive offences. Working out how the Convention translates into your obligations, and evidencing each to a national authority, is real work, and an organization that treats it as aspirational rather than operational is exactly where organizations fall short.

This Kit removes that decoding. It is every Malabo obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a national authority examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

34
Obligations as adopt-ready controls. Every Malabo obligation, across electronic transactions, the data protection principles, controller duties, data subject rights, the national authority and the cyber security and cybercrime framework, written so you personalize and apply it.
34
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a national authority examines, plus where organizations fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Malabo Control Matrix, pre-built. Every obligation in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each obligation and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (the Malabo Convention), with the electronic transactions rules, the personal data protection principles and rights, the national protection authority and the cyber security and cybercrime framework called out. Editable Word and Excel files.

Three pillars, one operating program
Malabo is not just a data protection law, it binds electronic transactions, personal data protection and cyber security and cybercrime into one instrument. Treating only one pillar leaves the others exposed. This Kit builds controls across all three, so your alignment matches the Convention's actual scope and the national law that implements it.

What one control looks like

This is electronic transactions and e-commerce, the Convention's first pillar. All 34 are built to this depth.

MALABO-1 Scope of electronic commerce activity E-TRANSACTIONS
Put this control in place

Require [your organization name] to maintain a written classification of every good, service, and information-society activity offered by electronic means, identifying which fall within the scope of national electronic commerce law transposing the Convention, which qualify for exemptions such as gambling or notarial acts, and which trigger sector-specific licensing before customers may transact online.

Practitioner note.

Revisit the classification whenever a new product line or payment method is launched.

Evidence a national authority examines
  • Register of electronically supplied goods and services with scope classification
  • Legal opinion mapping offerings to national e-commerce statute exclusions
  • Licensing records for any regulated sector activities offered online
  • Screenshots of the live storefront showing the classified activities
Common finding they raise: Organizations often assume all online offerings are uniformly regulated and miss activities that require separate authorization.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. A duty you cannot evidence is exposure to a national authority. This tells you what an authority examines and where organizations fall short, for every obligation.
  • All three pillars built in. Electronic transactions, the data protection regime and the cyber security and cybercrime framework are written into the controls, the full scope the Convention requires.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. Malabo aligns with the GDPR model and national African data protection laws, so this work feeds a broader continental privacy and security program.

Who buys this

Organizations operating in African Union member states that have ratified or are implementing the Convention, and the privacy, legal and security leads who own it. Whether it is a first assessment or a market entry, you save weeks and walk in with the three pillars structured.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 34 obligations
✓  A completed Malabo control matrix
✓  The evidence a national authority examines
✓  Your three pillars covered, not just one
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
