São Tomé and Príncipe — Cyber Threat Profile
São Tomé and Príncipe adopted a National Cybersecurity Strategy covering 2024 to 2028, making it among the more recently formalized small island developing states in Africa. The strategy provides a roadmap for improving digital security across government services, financial infrastructure, and telecommunications. Internet penetration is growing through mobile networks, and the country's small but expanding digital economy creates modest but real exposure to phishing, fraud, and opportunistic intrusion. No fully operational national CERT exists, and technical capacity depends heavily on international assistance and Portuguese-speaking country networks. The country participates in CPLP digital cooperation frameworks.- Data protection authority: Edifício HB - Travessa do Pelourinho, (source: CNIL)
