CELE says just 4% of bills introduced from January to June
CELE's Legislative Observatory reported that 4.0% of bills introduced in Latin America between January and June 2026 were classified as cybersecurity
CELE's Legislative Observatory reported that 4.0% of bills introduced in the region between January and June 2026 were classified as cybersecurity measures. The figure helps frame the relative weight of this legislative agenda as Chile consolidates the rollout of its Cybersecurity Framework Law 21.663 and Brazil broadens the ANPD's regulatory scope through the Digital Child and Adolescent Statute.

Chile fine-tunes implementation of its framework law
In Chile, Micronet published an analysis of how MDM can be used to comply with Cybersecurity Framework Law 21.663. The piece places that law within the regulatory framework organizations must take into account when adapting their controls and managing mobile devices.
Brazil expands the ANPD's mandate
At the same time, DPL News said Brazil could become a regional benchmark in online child safety. The report ties that role to the Digital Child and Adolescent Statute and to an expanded mandate for the ANPD, two developments that reshape the institutional scope of that regulatory area.
Taken together, these developments point to two different movements within the regional agenda. Chile is moving toward operational consolidation of its Cybersecurity Framework Law 21.663, while Brazil is adding responsibilities tied to online child protection. CELE's figure, with 4.0% of bills in the cybersecurity category between January and June 2026, offers a reference point for measuring how much space that debate has taken up in recent legislative output.
