Payments & Cyber Defense

Financial connectivity and digital resilience form the operational spine of ASEAN DEFA. This dashboard monitors the integration of the ASEAN Regional Payment Connectivity (RPC) framework—linking national QR payment systems (QRIS, DuitNow, PayNow, PromptPay) across borders—alongside national CERT cybersecurity incident notification windows and financial data surveillance risks.
RPC Payment Connectivity
Cross-Border QR Interoperability
18 Active Corridors
Core Concepts & Regulatory Dimensions
National QR RailsStandardized instant payment systems enabling instant cross-border consumer purchases.
Bilateral CorridorsOperational bilateral QR linkages facilitating real-time currency exchange without USD.
E-Invoicing StandardsAdoption of Peppol and e-tax invoicing frameworks for cross-border customs.
CERT Disclosure WindowStatutory time limit (in hours) for companies to report major cyber breaches.
Surveillance & CBDC RiskEvaluating state transaction monitoring and consumer financial privacy protections.
Reading Guidance: Each country card displays active QR payment linkages and cybersecurity reporting limits. Shorter CERT breach notification windows (24h) demand rapid incident response; Lower surveillance risk scores (<40) indicate strong consumer transaction privacy.
