NEW LAW ON CYBERSECURITY IN POLAND

On 5 July 2018, the Polish Parliament passed the Act on the National Cybersecurity System (“ANCS” J. of Laws 2018.1560), which entered into force on 28 August 2018.  The ANCS will implement the provisions of the Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union (“NIS Directive“). The ANCS will introduce a national cybersecurity system, which will include the biggest service providers from various sectors in Poland, as well as governmental and local administration. The new legislation aims to create an efficient and secure system which will increase the level of cybersecurity in Poland and allow for swift co-operation with other Member States of the EU.  https://blogs.dlapiper.com/privacymatters/poland-new-law-on-cybersecurity-in-poland/?utm_source=subscribe_email&utm_medium=Poland%3A+New+law+on+cybersecurity+in+Poland&utm_campaign=blogpost
