On April 14, 2025, the National Cybersecurity Agency (“NCA”) published measure no. 164179 (“Measure”) to further implement the decree 138 of 2024 (“NIS2 Decree”).
- What’s new?
With this Measure, the NCA has identified:
- Security measures that companies must guarantee in case they are identified as an important subject (annex 1) or an essential subject (annex 2);
- Types of significant incidents that companies must report, depending on whether they are classified as an important (annex 3) or essential subject (annex 4).
- Since when?
The Measure will enter into force on 30 April 2025. However, companies will have:
- 18 months from the communication of their inclusion on the NIS subject list to comply with these new security measures;
- 9 months from the communication of inclusion on the NIS subject list to activate mechanisms to ensure the notification of incidents identified as significant.
- As a company, what do you have to do now?
- Wait for the NCA’s communication to verify if your company has been included in the NIS list;
- In case of a positive answer, your company will be required to provide further information (such as member states where the service is carried out; name and contact details of a substitute for the point of contact) by May 31, 2025;
- Implement, within 9 months from the communication of the inclusion on the NIS subject list, mechanisms for the notification of incidents expressly identified by NCA as “significant incidents”;
- Implement, within 18 months from the communication of the inclusion on the NIS subject list, the security measures expressly identified by the NCA.
