NISR: Key Deadline Ahead as UK DSPs Must Register by November 1, 2018
Partner Simon Shooter summarises the NISR and what DSPs need to know ahead of the deadline of November 1, 2018.
The regulations and who is impacted
Some of you will be familiar with the NISR (Network and Information Systems Regulations), which came into force on 9 May this year and which have been designed to prevent critical national infrastructure of EU countries in case of a cyber attack. These regulations have largely been largely overlooked to date, as many organisations find themselves spending all of their time and money on dealing with GDPR. They impact two key categories of organisations: Operators of Essential Services (OESs) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs). A third category which is likely to be affected – to a lesser degree – is suppliers to these OESs and DSPs who have access to networks and information systems.
