Key Architectural & Implementation Blueprints

1. Data Localization & Hybrid Cloud Architecture

To comply with the Law on Cybersecurity 2025, foreign cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP) must be paired with local storage for Vietnamese users' data:

• Local Cloud Providers: Viettel IDC, VNPT Cloud, VNG Cloud, CMC Cloud.
• Architectural Pattern: Hybrid deployment where application servers can run on global clouds (e.g. AWS Singapore region), but databases storing PII (Names, Account Details, IP Addresses, Payment logs) must maintain a master or replica copy stored physically within Vietnam boundaries.

2. SBV Biometric Authentication Flow (Decision 2345)

Any payment, wallet, or high-value transaction flow must enforce:

• Threshold 1: Individual transaction > VND 10,000,000 → Trigger facial biometric authentication.
• Threshold 2: Daily total cumulative transactions > VND 20,000,000 → Trigger facial biometric authentication.
• eKYC Integration: Face scan must verify directly against chip citizen card data (via NFC reader in app) or Level-2 VNeID account. Passports are deprecated for banking eKYC as of 2026.

3. Cross-Border Data Transfer (DTIA/A05)

If the application needs to transmit PII outside Vietnam (e.g., to global analytics, CRM, or headquarter databases):

• Prepare and file a Data Transfer Impact Assessment (DTIA) dossier to the Ministry of Public Security (A05) within 60 days from the start of processing.
• Secure explicit consent from users specifying what data is transferred, to which country, and for what purpose.

Agile Delivery: /safeai export jira & /safeai export confluence

Turn any Vietnam compliance checklist item into actionable Jira tickets or Confluence pages.

• /safeai export jira: Converts the PRD's Vietnam Compliance Checklist into structured Jira Epics, Tasks, and User Stories with BDD/Gherkin acceptance criteria.
• /safeai export confluence: Formats the Vietnam regulations matrix into a corporate Wiki-friendly layout.

DevSecOps Infrastructure: /safeai export opa & /safeai export terraform

Generate compliant code configurations.

Command Syntax:

• /safeai export opa: Generates Open Policy Agent (OPA) policy rules in rego to block CI/CD pipeline deployments that attempt to allocate non-Vietnam storage resources for local PII.
• /safeai export terraform: Generates HCL code showing how to map database structures to local Vietnamese datacenter providers or configure KMS for localized database encryption.

Actionable Compliance Checklist for Vietnam

Ensure your PRD includes specific requirements for the following:

• Data Residency: Copy of all Vietnamese user PII (IP, Payment, Logs) must be stored in a physical server located in Vietnam.
• Granular Consent: Enforce separate checkbox opt-ins for separate processing purposes (No pre-checked boxes, no bundled terms).
• A05 DTIA Dossier: Create a task to prepare the Data Transfer Impact Assessment dossier for submission to the MPS within 60 days of system launch.
• DPO Appointed: Designate a Data Protection Officer and register their contact information with the Ministry of Public Security.
• Biometric Verification: (For Payments/Intermediaries) Implement biometric verification flow matching Decision 2345 thresholds.
• VNeID Integration: (For E-Commerce) Integrate seller onboarding with chip Citizen ID or VNeID level-2 APIs.
• Deepfake Labeling: (For AI/Media Generation) Implement watermarking and clear text/image labeling for all AI-generated or modified content.
• InfoSec System Tier: Classify the system tier (1 to 5). If Level 3 or above, audit system code and notify the MPS.
• Digital Signatures: Enforce RSA-2048+ cryptographic algorithms for electronic contract signatures.
• Bilingual Notices: Publish both Vietnamese and English versions of Privacy Policies, clearly defining user rights under VN-PDPL.
