ISLAMABAD
Pakistan’s National Cyber Emergency Response Team (NCERT) has launched a final round of stakeholder consultations on the revised Pakistan Information Security Framework 2025, as the government moves to strengthen protections for the country’s growing digital infrastructure.
NCERT said the updated framework, known as PISF 2025, has been published for final review, with feedback invited from public and private sector organisations, industry experts and academia until February 6, 2026.
Officials said the revised draft incorporates input from an extensive earlier consultation process, during which NCERT received 273 detailed comments from federal ministries, attached departments, private sector entities, universities and independent cybersecurity specialists. The feedback was reviewed and reflected in the updated version now open for public comment.
“The continued engagement of stakeholders at this stage is critical to ensuring the framework reflects broad consensus and addresses practical cybersecurity needs,” an NCERT official said.
The revised framework aims to provide a more coherent and robust foundation for managing cyber risks, securing critical digital infrastructure and improving national preparedness against cyber threats, as Pakistan accelerates digitisation across government and the economy.
Following the completion of consultations, the final version of PISF 2025 will be submitted to the federal government for approval by February 13, 2026, officials said.
The move comes as Pakistan steps up efforts to modernise its digital governance and align cybersecurity policy with emerging threats and international best practices.
