The Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, as amended in 2025, defines offences such as unauthorized access, data interference and misuse of identity information. Organizations need to know how their policies, logging and incident handling line up with it, and how to preserve evidence if they must report a suspected offence.
