IT ministry unveils draft data governance policy

Pakistan's IT ministry released the draft Data Governance Policy 2026, declaring government data a strategic national asset held in trust for citizens. The policy grants citizens the right to know who accessed their personal data and mandates public bodies to act as custodians, not owners. Public consultation for the draft will remain open until July 10.
