Attachment III 7.4. Legal Environment In order for security to exist there must be adequate legislative controls. Cybercrime is a multi‐ disciplinary and complex issue and as a result the introduction of a legislative framework plays a key role in the Action Plan. This framework should include legislation focused on Cyber Security elements and crime prevention as well as the appropriate mechanisms to allow for lawful prosecution in the event that there is a breach of the security elements. Harmonisation of legislation among Caribbean states in the fight against Cybercrime is also widely recognised as a critical key for success.
