On November 1, 2025, a new Cybersecurity Act (the "Cybersecurity Act") has come into effect. The Cybersecurity Act implements the Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (the "NIS2 Directive"). The Cybersecurity Act significantly expands the number of regulated sectors and services. Experts anticipate that the Cybersecurity Act will affect 10 to 20 thousand private and public entities.
What to do?
By December 31, 2025, organizations need to
self-assess whether the Cybersecurity Act applies to them and
notify their regulated services to the National Cyber and Information Security Agency ("NÚKIB").
Considering the complexity of the self-assessment and the end-year rush, we recommend that all entities involved in the regulated sectors start preparing as soon as possible to comply with the new requirements.
