Composite Score
41.9
out of 100
Angola places in Tier 3 of the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index 2024 — an establishing posture with measurable progress and identified gaps. A comprehensive data-protection statute is in force, and a designated supervisory authority is identified in the IAPP Global Privacy Directory. On the question of artificial intelligence policy, no national AI policy is yet registered in the OECD AI Policy Observatory; on the question of open-government practice, Angola is not currently an Open Government Partnership member. Domestic data-center capacity is substantial — the country sits within the top tier of physically-installed compute observed in the public datasets, and foundational digital identity coverage is not yet captured at a measurable level by the World Bank ID4D dataset.
With a composite of 41.9 out of 100, Angola sits at rank 99th out of the 194 States surveyed in Edition 0. The country's strongest pillar at this Edition is Ecosystem, Education & Implementation, scoring 5.6 out of 10; its thinnest is Sovereign Haven Infrastructure, at 2.2 out of 10. Within the Sub-Saharan Africa region, Angola sits above the regional average composite of 35.7. The pillar pattern is the substantive material the Charter invites the State to engage with — neither a leaderboard position, nor a final verdict, but a structured picture of where the open-source record is full and where it remains to be built.
On the side of what helps: a comprehensive data-protection statute supplies the domestic statutory foundation; the designated supervisory authority is identified in the IAPP Global Privacy Directory and provides an institutional channel for enforcement. On the side of what has not yet been done: no national AI policy is yet registered in the OECD AI Policy Observatory, so the public baseline against which Article 6 might be tested has not been laid down; there is no public registry of access requests under the capital-crime exception, leaving the question of compulsory access opaque to citizens and to international observers.
