of 191 countries · score 32.2
First pass. This rating covers 3 of the methodology's 7 pillars, scored from evidence we already hold (treaty and adequacy registers, our own CERT list and collector, and passive checks of two government websites per country). It is a starting point, not a verdict: the remaining pillars, a wider government-domain sample and corrections from the countries themselves will move it edition by edition. Version v0.1 first pass, cut-off 2026-10-26.
Our cyber reasoning
The Cyber Risk Barometer rates countries on protection in practice, not on paper: each indicator is a public, checkable fact or something we measure ourselves. The seven pillars, their fixed weights and the A to E bands are set out in the methodology before any country is scored. This page shows every indicator we hold for Guinea-Bissau, with the evidence behind it.
How the rating is built
Each pillar is scored 0 to 100 from its indicators. The rating is the weighted mean of the pillars scored so far, on the fixed weights published in the methodology. The 5 pillars not yet scored are left out and the weights renormalised, so this is a preview, 2 of 7 pillars.
| Pillar | Weight | Score | Points |
|---|
| Gold-standard data protection | 20 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| National CERT in action | 15 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Weighted mean | 0.0 |
| Cyber resilience rating | 0.0 · E Minimal |
Is the country bound by Convention 108/108+, or recognised by the EU or UK as giving equivalent protection?

Is there a national CERT, and is it visibly working? Three of the six indicators are measured today from our own list and collector; the other three are still to be measured. Our daily collector reads every working feed, so "publishing" is observed, not declared.

These pillars are defined in the methodology with fixed weights and yes / partial / no indicators against a fixed standard. They appear here, with every indicator and its evidence, as each is scored.
| Pillar | Weight | Main sources |
|---|
| Citizens' rights protectedDoes a GDPR-grade law give people enforceable rights, and does an independent authority use its powers? | 20 | Statutes; regulator sites; our fines data |
| Incident reporting and transparencyMust serious cyber incidents and personal-data breaches be reported, quickly, and does the public get to know? | 10 | Statutes and regulator rules |
| Cybercrime law and cooperationCan the country prosecute cybercrime and work across borders? | 10 | Council of Europe Treaty Office (Budapest Convention); UN cybercrime convention status; FIRST membership |
| Government cyber hygiene, measuredDo the country's own government websites and email domains follow basic security practice? | 15 | Our own passive DNS and HTTPS checks of government domains |
| AI and emerging-tech safeguardsAre there binding rules for high-risk AI and for connected-product security? | 10 | Statutes |

Context from the Bloch Index
Three of the Bloch Index's seven pillars, reused as it publishes them: the economy, institutions and education that shape a country's cyber capacity. Every indicator is ranked against every other country the Bloch Index scores (191) and turned into a percentile score from 0 to 100; a pillar is the average of its indicators. Snapshot of 2026-10-05; these numbers do not enter the cyber rating.
Economic strength, stability and growth, measured by GDP per head, inflation, unemployment, growth rate and debt sustainability.

No 10-year government bond yield is reported for this country in the OECD series, so the Economy pillar rests on World Bank fundamentals alone.
Institutional quality and accountability: rule of law, control of corruption, voice and accountability, and government effectiveness (World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators).
