Protected system access restrictions permit authorised access only and criminalise unauthorised access or attempted access with imprisonment and fine.

Section 70 permits the appropriate Government to declare a computer, computer system or computer network a protected system through notification in the Official Gazette. Persons may access a notified protected system only when authorised by a written order. Securing or attempting to secure access in contravention of these requirements is punishable with imprisonment for up to ten years and a fine.
