Djibouti adopted a Digital Code in June 2025 covering data protection and cybersecurity, and a national cybersecurity authority bill was before parliament in November 2025.

Ecofin reports that the Digital Code, adopted on 30 June 2025, runs to eight volumes and nearly 800 articles, covers data protection, cybersecurity, e-commerce and cryptology, and supports the Vision 2035 aim of a regional digital hub. TechHive describes a data protection part with a National Commission for the Protection of Personal Data and adequacy-based transfer rules. A bill to create an independent National Cybersecurity Authority was presented to a National Assembly committee on 10 November 2025. We found no data centre or grid information.
