ANSSI is responsible for managing the security of information systems and cyberspace in Burkina Faso and is placed under the technical supervision of the Prime Minister and the financial supervision of the Ministry in charge of finance.

The Prime Minister ensures that the activity of ANSSI is part of the objectives set by the Government for the protection of the national cyberspace.

Aware of the damage that could be brought by such attacks on the sensitive sectors in which ICT is used, the Burkinabè government has placed information security at the heart of its priorities through the National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES).
