The new Cybersecurity Act and an ordinance designating NIS2 competent authorities will enter into force on 15 January 2026. PTS, the national telecoms authority, will specify the measures that telecoms providers and digital entities (e.g. cloud, data centres) should implement to meet the obligations of the act. For digital entities, these measures might apply in addition to the Commission’s Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) implementing act.
