As society becomes increasingly digital, threats to both companies and public authorities are growing. This increases the business and societal risks that require a stronger focus on cybersecurity.
The recently adopted NIS 2 law, which comes into force on July 1, therefore tightens the requirements for actors who perform critical functions in society - both in the public sector and in business. Among other things, a sigh of relief went through all municipal IT departments when the government announced on February 6 that it had nevertheless chosen to include municipalities in the new IT security regulations from the EU.
To support the implementation of the law, the Danish Agency for Social Security is continuously preparing guidelines that will help authorities and companies understand and comply with the new requirements.
And now the first of their kind are ready:
- It has been absolutely essential for me that we can help authorities and companies to get ready for the new legislation. That is why I am pleased that today we can present the first - out of a series - of guidelines. I have no doubt that NIS 2 will strengthen the general level of cybersecurity in Denmark, says Minister for Social Security and Emergency Preparedness Torsten Schack Pedersen (V).
The first guide helps organizations assess whether they are covered by the law and explains key concepts and criteria.
The second guide clarifies management's responsibility for cyber and information security and describes what the board of directors and executive board must specifically ensure.
