The National Cyber Security Policy (NCSP) seeks to address the risks to the Critical
National Information Infrastructure (CNII) which comprises the networked information
systems of ten critical sectors.
The policy recognizes the critical and highly interdependent nature of the CNII and aims
to develop and establish a comprehensive program and a series of frameworks that will
ensure the effectiveness of cyber security controls over vital assets. It is being
developed to ensure that the CNII are protected to a level that commensurate the risks
faced.
The policy has been designed to facilitate Ghana’s move towards a knowledge-based
economy and will be based on a number of frameworks that comprises legislation and
regulatory, technology, public-private cooperation, institutional, and international
aspects.
