On December 29, 2025, the Moldovan government approved the National Cybersecurity Programme 2026–2030 (Government Decision No. 821/2025). The programme sets strategic goals and policy measures across four pillars: strengthening operational capacities, combating cybercrime, education and awareness, and international cooperation.
An initial investment of 73 million Moldovan lei (approximately $4 million USD) was allocated to strengthen national digital resilience and operational capacities. Alongside the programme, the government approved a National Incident Response and Cybersecurity Crisis Plan, a State Registry of Cybersecurity Incidents, and a Regulation on Coordinated Disclosure of Vulnerabilities.
Moldova’s Cybersecurity Agency (ASC), designated as the central coordinating authority under the programme, leads implementation through a whole-of-society approach. As an EU candidate country that completed accession screening in September 2025, Moldova is progressively aligning its cybersecurity framework with EU standards, including the NIS2 Directive. The European Commission’s April 2024 Recommendation on a Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the transition to post-quantum cryptography will factor into Moldova’s ongoing alignment work, making this programme the operational vehicle through which quantum-safe cryptographic requirements may eventually be addressed.
