Impactful Policy Frameworks
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU 2016/679)
While not new, GDPR, implemented in 2018, continues to heavily influence data protection and privacy standards across the EU/EEA, including Iceland, mandating strict rules on data collection, processing, and storage.
This policy directly impacts businesses by requiring robust data protection measures and transparent data handling, necessitating solutions like Nanitor for compliance reporting and security configuration.
NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555)
The revised Network and Information Systems (NIS2) Directive, adopted in 2022, expands the scope of cybersecurity obligations to more sectors and entities, including critical infrastructure and digital service providers, with stricter enforcement mechanisms.
NIS2 will impose new and more stringent cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting obligations on a wider range of Icelandic businesses, making CTEM platforms like Nanitor crucial for adherence.
Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) (EU 2022/2554)
DORA, enacted in 2022, focuses on the digital operational resilience of the financial sector, ensuring financial entities can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions and threats.
For financial institutions in Iceland, DORA mandates comprehensive ICT risk management frameworks, requiring solutions that provide continuous visibility and control over their IT infrastructure to maintain operational resilience.
