  • MLPS 2.0 IN CHINA - Your Partner for Compliance in China

What Is MLPS 2.0?

The Multi-Level Protection Scheme (MLPS 2.0) is a core component of China’s IT security framework. It is a mandatory regulatory standard that requires companies to classify their networks and IT systems into specific security levels and implement appropriate protection measures. MLPS 2.0 goes beyond technical safeguards, demanding comprehensive organizational processes to prevent cyberattacks, minimize data breaches, and enhance the resilience of IT infrastructures.

For companies operating in China or managing digital processes within the Chinese market, MLPS 2.0 compliance is not only a legal obligation but also a critical factor for long-term business success and IT infrastructure protection.

Case Studies
MLPS 2.0: Classification and Registration

After acquiring a Chinese company, our client discovered that the company had deficits in compliance. The legally prescribed classification of the IT systems according to the MLPS had not yet taken place. Our Chinese IT consultants assessed and classified the systems on site at relatively short notice, whereby the personal contacts with auditors throughout China and the responsible provincial authorities were helpful.

MLPS 2.0: Adaptation and Inspection of the Authority

The implementation of steps 3-5 of the MLPS is very specific - depending on which class the IT systems are classified in and which security deficiencies are found during the tests and controls. For a mechanical engineering company that manages its global IT centrally at its European headquarters, we have created a list of possible optimization measures for all security deficiencies that have been identified. The client could then choose which solutions best fit the company's global security strategy. Through close contact with the local authorities, we ensured that the IT systems met the legal requirements after implementing the measures and passed the final test of the cybersecurity administration.
