Why the Law on Digital Transformation Matters

Law 148/2025/QH15 is Vietnam's active horizontal parent framework for digital governance. Issued 11 December 2025 and effective 1 July 2026, it supersedes the Law on Information Technology 67/2006/QH11, subject to transitional provisions.

It is not a single-topic law. It spans digital transformation strategy and programs, digital systems and platforms, digital infrastructure, and digital government, economy, and society. Specialist areas such as data, electronic transactions, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence remain governed by their respective legislation. Because it cuts across so many domains, the practical challenge is coordination: the same program can touch data protection, cybersecurity, AI, e-commerce, telecommunications, and electronic transactions at once.

ComplianceOne treats the law as a horizontal parent framework that connects those obligations without duplicating them. Digital transformation programs, systems, and platforms are governed records with owners, evidence, and cross-framework links.

Decision 268/QĐ-TTg is the official implementation plan for the law. It is a planning and coordination reference, not the main compliance framework, and does not get its own customer-facing page.

How ComplianceOne Supports the Law

ComplianceOne maintains a governed inventory of digital transformation programs, projects, systems, platforms, and digital services, each with an owner, purpose, users, data categories, vendors, and cross-framework obligations.

Digital data governance links to Data Law, PDPL, the Data Security Draft, and cybersecurity evidence where data is processed, protected, or transferred, without duplicating those frameworks. Digital identity and transaction readiness connects to the EID/EAuth Draft and electronic transaction evidence where identity, authentication, e-signatures, and e-contracts are involved.

Digital infrastructure and resilience work links to telecom, cloud, data-center, and cybersecurity controls. Roadmap review keeps Decision 268 and future child instruments visible, with a scheduled review anchored to the law's effective date. Human review remains required before formal evidence or submission.
