BIT supports organisations in achieving compliance with Latvia’s newly enacted National Cyber Security Law
Following the enactment of the National Cyber Security Law, entering into force on 1 September 2024, Baltijas Informācijas Tehnoloģijas (BIT) is offering a comprehensive service package to help businesses comply with the new minimum cybersecurity requirements – with solutions tailored to each organisation’s specific needs.
The law aims to strengthen the security and resilience of information and communication technologies (ICT) and critical infrastructure. Under the new regulatory framework, all entities falling under its scope must determine their status and register with the National Cyber Security Centre by 1 April 2025. By 1 October 2025, organisations must appoint a cybersecurity manager and submit their first cybersecurity self-assessment report.
According to Mihails Potapovs, Head of EU Cybersecurity Affairs at Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia, before implementing technical and organisational measures, companies should begin by addressing the following key questions:
- How can we ensure that our ICT infrastructure and information systems meet the new minimum cybersecurity requirements?
- How should we plan and implement cyber risk management, and how can we ensure business continuity in the event of a crisis?
- How can we promote cyber hygiene and provide effective cybersecurity training for our staff?
