Five Grades of Data, One Reporting Spine: The Ministry of Transport's Data Security Measures
On June 18, 2026 the Ministry of Transport issued the Measures for Data Security Management in Transport (交科技规〔2026〕3号), effective July 1, 2026 — 41 articles that complete the sector build-out of the Data Security Law for highways, waterways and comprehensive transport. The full text reached the public record in July through an academic-society WeChat repost rather than the ministry's own site. DCC reads the Measures around four load-bearing features: a five-grade classification ladder that splits general data into Grades 3/2/1 and pulls Grade-3 general data into the hard transmission-protection net alongside important and core data; an annual risk-assessment duty that extends beyond important-data handlers to any processor holding personal information on 10 million or more people, dated the same day as the national Network Data Security Risk Assessment Measures but effective 50 days earlier; an AI clause requiring pre-deployment evaluation of corpora, training data and algorithm explainability, plus a default ban on training on entrusted data; and a single reporting spine that routes filings through provincial transport authorities to MOT, with a direct line for central transport SOEs. Storage follows the sector pattern: localization for transport-authority personal information and CIIO-collected data, MLPS Level 3 for important-data systems, Level 4 or CII protection for core data, and security-assessed cloud services only.
