Cyber security legislation to be updated

The bill is the legislative vehicle for the transposition of the Network and Information Security Directive EU 2022/2555, also known as the NIS2 Directive.

It also provides for the establishment of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) on a statutory basis and for related matters including clarity around its mandate and role in general.

Introduced in 2023, the NIS2 Directive is the EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity. It provides legal measures to boost the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU.
