✅ NIS2 transposed and in force.
NIS2 transposition
- National law: Zákon č. 264/2025 Sb. o kybernetické bezpečnosti (Sbírka zákonů 2025-08-04)
- Status / entry into force: In force 2025-11-01 (new standalone act, replacing Act 181/2014)
Competent authority & CSIRT
- Competent authority: Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost (NÚKIB)
- CSIRT / incident response: GovCERT.CZ (NÚKIB) / CSIRT.CZ
- Registration: Registration deadline end of December 2025
Incident reporting
Follows the NIS2 cascade: early warning within 24h, notification within 72h, final report within one month, submitted to the national CSIRT / competent authority. Assume national-language submission unless the authority states otherwise.
Penalties & board liability
- Essential entities: up to €10M or 2% of worldwide turnover (directive minimum, adopted here).
- Important entities: up to €7M or 1.4% of worldwide turnover.
- Management-body accountability applies per NIS2 Art. 20; national enforcement mechanisms vary.
CER Directive
Critical-entities resilience is transposed in parallel (often via the same or a connected authority). Member States had to identify critical entities by 2026-07-17. ⚠️ VERIFY national CER instrument.
Notes
24-hour incident reporting. Brand-new cybersecurity act rather than an amendment.
