If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to attend the meeting, please ask the broker, trust, bank or other nominee that holds your shares to provide you with evidence of your share ownership.

CHINA INFORMATION SECURITY TECHNOLOGY, INC.

21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building
 Zhuzilin, Futian District Shenzhen,
Guangdong, 518040 People's Republic of China
(+86) 755-8370-8333

PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished with respect to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of China Information Security Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “CIST” or “we”), for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held on Friday, June 18, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China.

The purposes of the Meeting are to seek stockholder approval of two proposals: (i) electing five (5) directors to the Board and (ii) ratifying the appointment of the Company’s accountants for fiscal year 2010.

Who May Vote

Only stockholders of record of our common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), as of the close of business on April 20, 2010 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be available at the Meeting, and will also be available for ten days prior to the Meeting, during office hours, at the executive offices of the Company at 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China.

The presence at the Meeting of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, in person or by proxy, is required for a quorum. Should you submit a proxy, even though you abstain as to one or more proposals, or you are present in person at the Meeting, your shares shall be counted for the purpose of determining if a quorum is present.

Broker “non-votes” are included for the purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holder, such as a brokerage firm, bank or trust company, holding shares of record for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee holder does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

- 1-


Each holder of Common Stock on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share then held on all matters to be voted at the Meeting. No other class of voting securities is outstanding on the date of mailing of this Proxy Statement.

Voting

Whether you hold shares directly as a registered stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote without attending the meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held beneficially in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your stockbroker, trustee or nominee. In most cases, you will be able to do this by using the Internet or telephone or by mail, if you received a printed set of the proxy materials.

By Internet – If you have Internet access, you may submit your proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or if you received a printed version of the proxy materials by mail, by following the instructions provided with your proxy materials and on your proxy card or voting instruction card.

By Telephone or Mail – If you received printed proxy materials, you may submit your proxy by telephone by following the instructions provided on your proxy card or voting instruction card. If you received a Notice, you may submit your proxy by telephone after accessing the proxy materials via the Internet. You may also submit your proxy by mail by signing your proxy card if your shares are registered or, for shares held beneficially in street name, by following the voting instructions included by your stockbroker, trustee or nominee, and mailing it in the envelope provided. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. Voting by telephone is not available to persons outside of the United States.

The shares represented by any proxy duly given will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director set forth herein and FOR ratification of BDO Limited as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.. In addition, if other matters come before the Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matters.

Under Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), the five candidates for election as directors at the Meeting are uncontested. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. Proposal 2 (Ratification of Independent Auditors) requires the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Meeting for approval.

Absentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes in favor of a matter being voted on, and will also not be counted as shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, abstentions and "broker non-votes" will have no effect on the voting on matters (such as the election of directors, and the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm) that require the affirmative vote of a plurality or a majority of the votes cast or the shares voting on the matter.

Revoking Your Proxy

Even if you execute a proxy, you retain the right to revoke it and to change your vote by notifying us at any time before your proxy is voted. Mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke a proxy. Such revocation may be effected by calling the toll-free telephone number identified in the Notice, or by accessing the Internet website specified in the Notice, or in writing by execution of a subsequently dated proxy, or by a written notice of revocation, sent to the attention of the Secretary at the address of our principal office set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement, or by attending and voting in person at the Meeting. Unless revoked, the shares represented by timely received proxies will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein.

If the Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the previously convened Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous Meeting.

- 2-


Solicitation of Proxies

The expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. We may solicit proxies by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company, who will receive no extra compensation therefore, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

The SEC has adopted rules that allow a company to deliver a single proxy statement or annual report to an address shared by two or more of its stockholders. This method of delivery, known as "householding," permits us to realize significant cost savings, reduces the amount of duplicate information stockholders receive, and reduces the environmental impact of printing and mailing documents to you. Under this process, certain stockholders of record who do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy materials and any additional proxy materials that are delivered until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they want to receive separate copies. Any stockholders who object to or wish to begin householding may contact Iris Yan, our Corporate Secretary, orally or in writing at the telephone number or address, as applicable, at China Information Security Technology, Inc., 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China, telephone number (+86) 755-8370-8333. We will send an individual copy of the proxy statement to any stockholder who revokes their consent to householding within 30 days of our receipt of such revocation.

Notice of Voting Results

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be published in our current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting, provided that the final results are available at such time. In the event the final results are not available within such time period, the preliminary voting results will be published in our current report on Form 8-K to be filed within such time period, and the final results will be published in an amended current report on Form 8-K/A to be filed within four business days after the final results are available. Any stockholder may also obtain the results from the Secretary, China Information Security Technology, Inc., 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

We did not have any promoters at any time during the past five fiscal years.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our current corporate governance practices and policies are designed to promote stockholder value and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate ethics and diligent compliance with financial accounting and reporting rules. Our Board provides independent leadership in the exercise of its responsibilities. Our management oversees a system of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations, and our employees operate in a climate of responsibility, candor and integrity.

- 5-


Corporate Governance Guidelines

We and our Board are committed to high standards of corporate governance as an important component in building and maintaining stockholder value. To this end, we regularly review our corporate governance policies and practices to ensure that they are consistent with the high standards of other companies. We also closely monitor guidance issued or proposed by the SEC and the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as the emerging best practices of other companies. The current corporate governance guidelines are available on the Company’s website at www.chinacpby.com. Printed copies of our corporate governance guidelines may be obtained, without charge, by contacting the Corporate Secretary, China Information Security Technology, Inc., 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China.

The Board and Committees of the Board

The Company is governed by a Board of Directors that currently consists of five members: Jiang Huai Lin, Yun Sen Huang, Qiang Lin, Zhiqiang Zhao and Remington Hu. The Board has established three Committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors. From time to time, the Board may establish other committees. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of the Committees which are available on the corporate governance page of our website at www.chinacpby.com. Printed copies of these charters may be obtained, without charge, by contacting by contacting the Corporate Secretary, China Information Security Technology, Inc., 21st Floor, Everbright Bank Building, Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518040, People's Republic of China.

Governance Structure

The Board believes the interests of all stockholders are best served at the present time through a leadership model with a combined Chairman/CEO position and an independent Lead Director. However, the Board retains authority to amend the By-Laws to separate the positions of Chairman and CEO at any time. The current CEO possesses an in-depth knowledge of the Company, its integrated operations, the evolving public security industry in China, and the array of challenges to be faced, gained through over 22 years of successful experience. The Board believes that these experiences and other insights put the CEO in the best position to provide broad leadership for the Board as it considers strategy and as it exercises its fiduciary responsibilities to its stockholders.

Further, the Board has demonstrated its commitment and ability to provide independent oversight of management. A majority of the Board is comprised of independent directors, and 100 percent of the Audit, Compensation, and Corporate Governance committees are independent. Each independent director has access to the CEO and other Company executives on request, may call meetings of the independent directors, and may request agenda topics to be added or dealt with in more detail at meetings of the full Board or an appropriate Board committee.

In addition, after considering evolving governance practices and stockholder input regarding Board independence, the Board established the role of Lead Director and has appointed Mr. Zhi Qiang Zhao, to serve in this capacity to remain in the position at least through the annual meeting of stockholders. The Board believes the Lead Director can provide effective, independent Board leadership. The Board plans to amend the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to prescribe specific duties of the Lead Director, however, in the interim, the Leading Director’s duties have been set by the Board and include chairing executive sessions of the independent directors; chairing meetings of the Board in the absence of the Chairman; and, working closely with the Chairman in developing Board agendas, topics, schedules, and in reviewing materials provided to the directors.

We encourage our stockholders to learn more about our Company’s governance practices at our website, www.chinacpby.com.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company’s business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board of Directors’ oversight of the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company’s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

- 6-


While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. The Company has robust internal processes and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. Management communicates routinely with the Board, Board Committees and individual Directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through Committees. Much of the work is delegated to various Committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board. All Committees play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function. In particular:

Independent Directors; Committees and Meetings

Our Board currently has three standing committees which, pursuant to delegated authority, perform various duties on behalf of and report to the Board: (i) Audit Committee, (ii) Compensation Committee and (iii) Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors. From time to time, the Board may establish other committees.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, each of our three committees met 4 times. Copies of the charters for each of our four standing committees may be obtained from our website at www.chinacpby.com.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Mr. Yun Sen Huang, Mr. Qiang Lin, and Mr. Remington Hu serve as members of the Company’s Audit Committee, each of whom our Board determined to be “independent” as that term is defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Mr. Hu serves as Chair of the audit committee.

Our audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. Our audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

- 7-


Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hu possesses the accounting or related financial management experience that qualifies him as financially sophisticated within the meaning of Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and that he is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Certain Relationships and Transactions with Related Persons

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of the 2009 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved that exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under Item 11. Executive Compensation). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

Except as set forth in our discussion above, none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Policies and Procedures Relating to Transactions with Related Persons.

Our current written policies and procedures for review, approval or ratification of relationships or transactions with related persons are set forth in our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, our Audit Committee Charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, and our Board of Directors Charter.

Our Board of Directors Charter requires that our Board of Directors monitor and manage potential conflicts of interest of management and the Board and assume other responsibilities as may be required from time to time. As permitted under the Company’s Bylaws, the Board has delegated some of these responsibilities to the Board’s Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the approval of and approve the entry of the Company into any and all related party transactions between the Company and any executive officer or director that would potentially require disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee Charter also mandates that the Audit Committee must approve the entry of the Company into any such related party transaction. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter provides that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and other internal policies and guidelines and monitor whether the principles described therein are being incorporated into the Company’s culture and business practices.

- 15-


Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct provides a number of specific procedures, requirements, and prohibitions relating to related party transactions. It prohibits directors, officers and employees from accepting simultaneous employment with a Company supplier, customer, developer, or competitor, or from taking part in any activity that enhances or supports a competitor’s position. All directors, officers and employees must disclose to the Company any interest that may conflict with the Company. A director, officer and employee may accept a position as a director of another company only if he or she obtains approval from the Board of Directors; the other company does not compete with the Company; and any compensation received in this capacity is commensurate with its responsibilities.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct generally requires directors, officers, and employees of the Company to avoid conducting Company business with a relative or significant other, or with a business in which a relative or significant other is associated in any significant manner. Where a Company director, officer or employee believes that such a transaction is unavoidable, he or she must fully disclose it to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. If the Chief Executive Officer deems it material to the Company, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must review and provide advance written approval for such transactions. The Board subsequently reassigned part of this responsibility to the Audit Committee pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter. The most significant related party transactions, especially those involving the Company’s directors or executive officers, must be reviewed and approved in writing in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board also delegated part of this function to the Audit Committee under the Audit Committee Charter, as explained above. The Company must report all such material related party transactions under applicable accounting rules, federal securities laws, SEC rules and regulations, and securities market rules. Any dealings with a related party must be conducted in such a way that no preferential treatment is given.

In addition, our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct discourages the employment of relatives and significant others in positions or assignments within the same department and prohibits the employment of such persons in positions that have influence (e.g., an auditing or control relationship, or a supervisor/subordinate relationship). Our Human Resources department is primarily responsible for administering this aspect of our related party transactions policy. If any covered relationship develops or exists between two employees, the senior employee must advise his or her supervisor. The Company may separate the employees either by reassignment or termination, if necessary.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct permits waivers of the above policies and procedures as to directors or executive officers only if they are approved in writing by the Board of Directors and promptly disclosed. Any waiver with respect to any employee, agent or contractor must be approved in writing by the Company. Under its Charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing requests for any waivers and recommending to the Board whether a particular request should be granted.

Any type of related party transaction not expressly covered by the above policies and procedures is subject to the review and approval of our Board of Directors.

There were no related party transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 30, 2009 for which our policies and procedures did not require review, approval or ratification, or where our policies and procedures were not followed.

Director Qualifications

Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareowners. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on the Company’s Board of Directors that are applicable to all Directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each Director. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of Directors and Director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.

Qualifications for All Directors

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by shareowners, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the ability of a Director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee require that each Director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each Director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all Directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole

The Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current needs and business priorities. The Company is a NASDAQ listed company that offers products and services in the information technology industry in China. Therefore, the Board believes that a diversity of professional experiences in the information technology industry, specific knowledge of key geographic growth areas, and knowledge of U.S. capital markets and of U.S. accounting and financial reporting standards should be represented on the Board. In addition, the market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success depends upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and emerging hardware, software, database, and networking platforms and by developing and introducing enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards, and changing customer requirements, through strong focus on. research and development.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

GHP Horwath, P.C. was the Company’s independent registered public accounting for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and 2009, however, the Audit Committee has selected BDO Limited (“BDO”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and interim 2010 periods..

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of BDO to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider this appointment.

The Company has been advised by BDO that neither the firm nor any of its associates had any relationship with the Company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent registered public accountant firms and their clients during the last fiscal year. Representatives of BDO will be available via teleconference during the Meeting, at which time they may make any statement they consider appropriate and will respond to appropriate questions raised at the Meeting.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009,2008 and 2007 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $539,000, $831,000 and $390,000, respectively.
