The New Czech Cybersecurity Act (ZoKB)

The aim of the new NIS2 directive is to expand the range of companies that are obliged to address their readiness to respond to cyberattacks. Rather than a bureaucratic whim, this is the state offering support for companies in the current problematic security situation by obliging them to allocate reources for cyberprotection. The directive will have to be implemented in the Czech legal system, which is why a new Czech Cybersecurity Act (Zákon o kybernetické bezpečnosti) is being drafted.

What’s changing?

The law is yet to be approved, but comments have already been made by the professional community with the key points being:

  • Obliged entities register themselves with the NÚKIB.
  • Accountability of the governing bodies is introduced.
  • It’s likely that buyer-supplier chains will need to be reviewed.

NÚKIB warns companies not to order NIS2 consultations before the final approval of the new Czech Cybersecurity Act. On the other hand, they acknowledge that it’s a good practice to protect your systems in accordance with widely known IT security standards.
