Nacionālās kiberdrošības likums (Latvia)

The European Union NIS2 directive has been adopted as "National Cyber Security Act" in Latvia. It aims to improve the security of information and communication technologies, including setting requirements for the provision and receipt of essential services and important services, as well as the operation of information and communication technologies.

The law determines the procedure for ensuring cyber security, foreseeing the distribution of responsibility and the competence of the National Cyber ​​Security Center, cooperation frameworks and cyber security promotion tasks. The aim is also to promote the implementation of cyber security measures in such a way as to be able to predict and prevent them in time, as well as to overcome cyber threats and eliminate their consequences, as far as possible ensuring the continuity of confidentiality, integrity and availability of services.
