One of the key provisions of the ICT Law is the requirement for all ICT service providers, including telecommunications companies, to establish comprehensive data protection policies and procedures. These policies must outline the measures taken to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data, including the specific measures in place to protect phone numbers from unauthorized access or misuse.
To supplement the legislative framework, ATRA has issued a series of regulations and guidelines aimed at strengthening the privacy protection of phone numbers, particularly CRB Directory those used for diplomatic and governmental communications.
For instance, ATRA's Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data in the Telecommunications Sector mandates that all telecommunications service providers must implement robust data encryption, access controls, and logging mechanisms to safeguard customer information, including phone numbers. The regulation also requires providers to regularly audit their data protection practices and report any breaches or security incidents to the regulatory authority.
Furthermore, ATRA has established a dedicated Privacy and Data Protection Unit, which is responsible for monitoring compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, investigating complaints, and imposing penalties on service providers found to be in violation of the established privacy standards.
The Privacy and Data Protection Unit works in close collaboration with the Afghan National Cyber Security Center, which serves as the primary authority for investigating and responding to cyber-related incidents, including those that may involve the unauthorized access or misuse of phone numbers.
