New Cybersecurity Rules: Better Data Protection and Fight Against Hackers

The law introduces EU regulations to boost online security by imposing new duties on key companies and public offices. For citizens, this means better protection of their personal data and access to a free online tool to check if their information has been leaked.
Key points
Data leak checker: The state institute NASK will create a free website where citizens can check if their personal details (like PESEL, email, or phone number) have been leaked online.
Faster response to cyberattacks: Key companies (e.g., energy providers, banks, hospitals) and public offices must report serious cyber incidents within 24 to 72 hours to enable quicker warnings.
Ban on unsafe technology: The government can ban software and hardware from suppliers deemed dangerous to national security (high-risk vendors).
Verification of website owners: Domain registrars must strictly verify the identity of those registering websites, making it harder for scammers to set up fake pages.
Shared security for local governments: Smaller municipalities can team up to jointly secure their computer systems, reducing costs and improving data protection for residents.
Heavy fines for negligence: Companies failing to secure their systems face fines of up to 10 million euros, and managers can also be held personally financially liable.
