Further National Cybersecurity Standards (NCS) published by the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, based on US NIST cybersecurity standards
Towards the end of December (specifically 23 December 2022), the Chancellery of the Prime Minister published more of the National Cybersecurity Standards.
The Chancellery of the Prime Minister has said that the latest materials concern assessment of security and privacy protection measures taken as an element of effective risk management, ensuring security of industrial control systems, and cloud processing.
The published documents included materials on:
- Public cloud security and privacy guidelines
- General guidelines on controlling access to cloud computing systems
- A fog computing conceptual model
To reiterate, the National Cybersecurity Standards (NCS) are a set of recommendations to harmonize security systems in computer networks and systems, which largely transpose the US NIST standards.
According to the precepts, they implement intervention 6.1 of specific objective 2 of Poland’s Cybersecurity Strategy for 2019 – 2024 regarding drafting and implementing the National Cybersecurity Standards.
As they are not presently firmly entrenched in current laws, they will be published as soft law, i.e. recommendations and good practices.
