We are delighted to share an important milestone in the continued development of KG Legal’s Data, AI & Cybersecurity Desk.
It has been a great honour to serve as the exclusive expert contributors for Poland to the OneTrust DataGuidance Privacy Overview – Poland, one of the world’s leading professional legal compliance resources relied upon by in-house counsel, privacy professionals, compliance officers, multinational organisations and technology companies operating across multiple jurisdictions.
The Act amending the Act on the National Cybersecurity System aims to implement Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 (NIS Directive 2) and the partial application of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1366 of 11 March 2024 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The amendment to the KSC Act significantly expands the scope of the regulations and introduces new obligations in the field of cybersecurity management. The changes include, among other things, the implementation of risk management systems and expanded incident reporting requirements. The new regulations also strengthen the powers of supervisory authorities and significantly increase the maximum amount of financial penalties. It also introduces liability for the management staff (manager) of an entity. In practice, this requires certain entities to take steps to comply with the new regulations.
