The Minister of ICT and National Guidance, Rt. Hon. Justine Kasule Lumumba, has launched the Updated National Information Security Framework (NISF) 2026, which will guide Government institutions in strengthening cybersecurity and protecting Uganda\u2019s growing digital infrastructure.
\nSpeaking at the launch, the Minister said that as Government continues to expand digital services, protecting information systems has become a national priority.
\n\u201cAs Government delivers more services digitally, we must ensure those services are safe, reliable and trusted. Information security is no longer just an ICT issue. It is a matter of national security, economic development, public service delivery and public trust.\u201d

\nThe Minister called on all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to work closely with NITA-U during cybersecurity assessments and implement corrective actions to strengthen the security of Government systems.
\nThe Updated National Information Security Framework 2026 provides practical guidance, cybersecurity assessment tools, and minimum-security controls to help institutions assess their cybersecurity maturity, address vulnerabilities, and improve resilience against emerging cyber threats.
\nThe Executive Director of National Information Technology Authority-Uganda, Dr. Hatwib Mugasa, said the Framework provides a practical roadmap that will help Government institutions move from cybersecurity awareness to effective implementation.
\nDeveloped under the Uganda Digital Acceleration Project (UDAP-GovNet), the Framework will help protect Uganda\u2019s critical information infrastructure and strengthen confidence in digital public services.
\nThe launch supports the Government\u2019s efforts to build a secure, resilient and trusted digital environment as more public services continue to move online.<\/p>\n
