New Obligations for Critical Entities and Crisis Management Overhaul

This law introduces new rules for identifying and supervising companies that provide essential services to the state and citizens (e.g., energy, transport, water). It obligates these companies to implement security systems, report major failures, and undergo inspections. The changes also affect crisis planning at the national, regional, and local levels, and expand the powers of services to combat unmanned aerial, water, and land objects.
Key points
Companies designated as "critical entities" (e.g., power plants, waterworks, large hospitals) must implement security management systems, conduct audits, and appoint a security officer.
A mandatory 24-hour reporting requirement for major incidents (significant disruptions) to relevant authorities, including the Government Centre for Security, has been introduced.
Firms face financial penalties for non-compliance, such as up to PLN 200,000 for failing to conduct an audit or implement required safeguards.
Services (Police, Border Guard, Government Protection Bureau) gain new powers to destroy or take control of dangerous drones, unmanned boats, and land vehicles.
In crisis situations, regional governors (voivodes) will be able to temporarily restrict traffic on public roads and railways.
A Maritime Security Centre is being established to coordinate information exchange on threats at sea, including for offshore wind farms and gas terminals.
