Risky Bulletin: Russia greatly expands SORM surveillance requirements
Russia has expanded SORM (System for Operative Investigative Activities) surveillance requirements, mandating that mobile operators and internet service providers collect and share more personal and technical data with state authorities. The expansion continues a pattern of incremental updates to the SORM system, which uses equipment installed at telecommunications companies to funnel customer traffic data to government databases accessible by police and intelligence services.
Why it matters: Telecommunications companies operating in Russia face increased compliance obligations and financial penalties, while organizations providing services to Russian users or processing their data must account for expanded government access to customer communications and metadata.
