This research paper investigates emerging trends in information security policy and regulation and their repercussions on Rwandan organizations. Organizations confront escalating cyber threats and data breach risks in an increasingly technology-reliant landscape. The study evaluates the current status of information security policy and regulation in Rwanda, identifying potential gaps and weaknesses. Additionally, it explores evolving trends in this domain, encompassing international standards and best practices. The research assesses how these trends may impact Rwandan organizations, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. Findings indicate that these policies and regulations constrain the activities of organizations, particularly those with inadequate information security practices. This research holds vital implications for Rwandan organizations and policymakers tasked with crafting and enforcing data protection laws and regulations.
