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 South Sudan, with the evidence behind it.
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.
| Indicator | Evidence | Points |
|---|
| ✗ A national (government-designated) CERT/CSIRT existsP2.EXISTS | No national CERT or cyber agency in our list | 0 / 4 |
| ✗ It is publishing: our daily collector sees a working feedP2.ACTIVE90 | No CERT to check | 0 / 4 |
| ✗ Machine-readable feed (RSS, Atom or JSON) or public advisoriesP2.FEED | No CERT to check | 0 / 1 |

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 |
|---|
| Gold-standard data protectionIs the country bound by Convention 108/108+, or recognised by the EU or UK as giving equivalent protection? | 20 | Council of Europe Treaty Office; European Commission and ICO adequacy lists |
| 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 |
