Composite Score
75.6
out of 100
Czechia places in Tier 1 of the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index 2024 — a role-modelling posture across the legal, technical, organizational, capacity-development, and cooperation pillars. 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, a national AI policy is registered in the OECD AI Policy Observatory; on the question of open-government practice, Czechia is a member of the Open Government Partnership. Domestic data-center capacity is measurable and growing — present in the public investment surveys at a notable scale, and foundational digital identity coverage is developing — the World Bank ID4D dataset records meaningful issuance with gaps. Czechia is a member State of the European Union, and the GDPR applies with direct effect. The country has ratified the original Council of Europe Convention 108.
With a composite of 75.6 out of 100, Czechia sits at rank 20th out of the 194 States surveyed in Edition 0. The country's strongest pillar at this Edition is Ecosystem, Education & Implementation, scoring 8.6 out of 10; its thinnest is Sovereign Haven Infrastructure, at 6.1 out of 10. Within the Europe region, Czechia sits above the regional average composite of 68.7. 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: Czechia's membership of the European Union, with the General Data Protection Regulation in direct effect, supplies a constitutionally-anchored protective regime; ratification of the original Council of Europe Convention 108 provides a multilateral data-protection commitment; 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; an ITU Global Cybersecurity Index Tier 1 posture indicates a serious and matured technical-and-organizational implementation of cyber capacity; a national AI policy registered in the OECD AI Policy Observatory provides a published baseline against which Article 6 of the Charter can be tested; Open Government Partnership membership provides a formal venue for civil-society scrutiny. On the side of what has not yet been done: the country's record at this Edition is unusually clean — the Custodian invites continued engagement to ensure that subsequent Editions reflect any changes in posture.
