Chile is undergoing a regulatory transition focused on cybersecurity and data privacy. The implementation of the Framework Cybersecurity Law and the consolidation of the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI) require public and private institutions to improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to digital incidents.

Critical sectors such as energy, transport, health, telecommunications, and finance are under pressure to move toward operational resilience. Additionally, the Personal Data Protection Law introduces requirements for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) for the “massive or large-scale processing of data.” However, the current lack of a specific numerical threshold for what constitutes “massive” processing leaves organizations to justify their assessment decisions until a future Data Protection Agency provides clearer criteria.
