Under the EU Directive on Data Retention, operators were required to retain certain categories of traffic and location data (excluding the content of those communications) for a period between six months and two years and to make them available, on request, to law enforcement authorities for the purposes of investigating, detecting and prosecuting serious crime and terrorism. On 8 April 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union declared the Directive invalid. However, not all national laws that implemented the directive have been overturned.
Cyprus's law implementing the Directive is still in place. Specifically, according to Section 13 of Law 183(I)/2007, telecommunications services providers are obliged to retain data for a period of at least six months.

The Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive) is the legal basis governing the liability of Internet Services Providers (ISPs) in the EU Member States and includes a conditional safe harbour.

The E-Commerce Law of 2004 and its amendment of 2007 transpose the E-Commerce Directive into Cypriot law. The Law aims to promote the free movement of information society services between the Republic of Cyprus and EU/EEA members, with particular emphasis on the establishment of a clear framework for the liability of intermediaries.

The EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) covers traditional broadcasting services as well as audiovisual media services provided on-demand, including via the Internet. Art. 13.1 provides for Member States to secure a minimum 30% share of European works in the catalogues as well as "ensuring prominence" of those works. "Prominence" involves promoting European works by facilitating access to such works using any appropriate means to ensure their prominence. The Directive has been implemented by Member States in different ways, ranging from very extensive and detailed measures to a mere reference to the general obligation to promote European works.
In Cyprus, the EU Directive was transposed into domestic law through the amendment of Law 7(I)/1998 of May 2021 (197(I)/2021). According to Art. Art. 31Α of the law, audiovisual service providers are required to retain at least 30% of their catalogues for European works and to display them prominently. Cyprus has not implemented financial contribution obligations to VOD service providers.

It is reported that Cyprus has not established restrictions on ownership control of foreign investment in sectors relevant to the digital economy.

Under Regulation 2019/452, Member States may maintain their existing investment screening mechanisms (22 Member States currently do), adopt new ones or remain without such national mechanisms. The Commission keeps an up-to-date list of screening laws in the EU. Member States must notify the Commission, which may issue an opinion when an investment threatens the security or public order of more than one Member State or when an investment could undermine a strategic project or programme of interest to the whole EU, such as Horizon 2020 or Galileo. The final decision remains with the Member State.
Cyprus currently lacks a horizontal mandatory foreign investment screening mechanism for FDI, aside from sector-specific licenses issued by relevant ministries. However, the country is drafting legislation in line with EU regulations to establish an investment screening mechanism under the Ministry of Finance, which is expected to pass in 2024.
In the meantime, Decision 90.013 of the Council of Ministers approved the Fast-Track Business Activation Mechanism, which implements an FDI screening for foreign companies. This mechanism applies to certain sectors, including telecommunications, where a regulatory and licensing regime is enforced under local legislation
