By 6 November <strong>2018</strong> the Department<br />

for Business, Energy and Industrial<br />

Strategy gave the following implementation<br />

update;<br />

For the energy sector in England,<br />

Wales and Scotland, BEIS shares Competent<br />

Authority responsibilities with<br />

Ofgem and HSE. In downstream gas and<br />

electricity sector Ofgem delivers the<br />

compliance functions under a Memorandum<br />

of Understanding with BEIS. In<br />

the oil and upstream gas sector the<br />

compliance functions will be carried<br />

out by HSE under an Agency Agreement<br />

with BEIS. Both HSE and Ofgem have<br />

been engaging closely with NCSC, the<br />

BEIS NIS regulatory policy function,<br />

and with industry in order to develop<br />

further sector specific guidance.<br />

This guidance will tailor the CAF to<br />

the needs of energy sub sectors and will<br />

provide further information about the<br />

steps that Operators of Essential Services<br />

(OES) should take in order to identify<br />

their levels of cyber security, commence<br />

the improvement journey to address<br />

and manage cyber security risks, and be<br />

compliant with the NIS regulations.<br />

According to the view of the<br />

Department for Business, Energy &<br />

Industrial Strategy operators will need<br />

time to adjust to the new framework.<br />

They expect operators to undertake a<br />

robust but realistic CAF self- assessment<br />

supported by evidence. In the<br />

first year, they do not expect to take<br />

enforcement action on the basis of the<br />

operator’s CAF self-assessment and<br />

recognise development and improvement<br />

will likely be needed, having<br />

taken a risk-based approach.<br />

Key dates fort he future would be<br />

as follows:<br />

• 31 October <strong>2018</strong>: CAF version 2<br />

was published on NCSC website<br />

• End November <strong>2018</strong>: publication<br />

of HSE operational guidance for<br />

the oil sector<br />

• End November <strong>2018</strong>: publication<br />

of Ofgem Cyber Security Practices<br />

guidance for the electricity and gas<br />

sector, to be available on Ofgem<br />

website.<br />

• November <strong>2018</strong>: DCMS returns notification<br />

of number of OES in<br />

scope of the regulations to the European<br />

Commission and BEIS provides<br />

a list of OES to GCHQ.<br />

• Late November / mid-December<br />

<strong>2018</strong>: sub-sector events to be held<br />

with OES. HSE will launch its<br />

operational guidance and provide<br />

surgeries to launch the sub-sector<br />

CAF self-assessments on 21 November.<br />

Ofgem will focus on sub-sector<br />

workshops between 10-11 December.<br />

Invitations will be issued to<br />

OES.<br />

• From Q2 2019 or potentially earlier<br />

depending on the CA: Competent<br />

Authorities will review the selfassessment<br />

evidence and improvement<br />

plans; and establish a rolling<br />

programme of inspections or thirdparty<br />

assessments/validations of<br />

OES own self-assessments. Please<br />

refer to detailed guidance from<br />

Ofgem or HSE for further details<br />

on how and when you should<br />

return your self-assessment.<br />

Sanctions:<br />

Financial penalties will only be levelled<br />

as a last resort where it is assessed<br />

appropriate risk mitigation measures<br />

were not in place without good reason.<br />

In addition, the maximum penalties<br />

should be reserved for the most severe<br />

cases, and it is expected that mitigating<br />

factors (including steps taken to comply<br />

with the NIS Directive, actions<br />

taken to remedy any consequences)<br />

and sector specific factors will be<br />

taken into account by the competent<br />

authority when deciding appropriate<br />

regulatory response.<br />

In the event of any enforcement<br />

action by the competent authority, it<br />

will notify the operator of impending<br />

action, allow the operator an opportunity<br />

to make representations, and<br />

confirm the final decision and<br />

reasoning of the competent authority.<br />

NIS Implementation<br />

in the Netherlands<br />

The status of transposition is:<br />

In progress<br />

Implementation act is the Security<br />

Network- and Information Systems<br />

Act, 29 May <strong>2018</strong><br />

The national strategy on the<br />

security of network an information<br />

security is available on: https://www.<br />

nctv.nl/ncsa/index.aspx<br />

Single point of contact is:<br />

National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)<br />

E-Mail: info@ncsc.nl<br />

According to https://ec.europa.eu/<br />

digital-single-market/en/implemen tation-nis-directive-<br />

netherlands a National<br />

Computer Security Incident<br />

Response Team (CSIRT) has to be determined.<br />

Although the Government<br />

declared that the Minister of Economic<br />

Affairs and Climate Policy is responsible<br />

for the energy infrastructure.<br />

OSE are obliged to notify immediately<br />

the following events:<br />

1. Incidents with significant consequences<br />

for the continuity of the<br />

essential service<br />

2. Breaches of the security of network<br />

and information systems which<br />

may have significant consequences<br />

for the continuity of the essential<br />

service;<br />

Sanctions:<br />

There are 3 types of sanctions defined,<br />

until now:<br />

1. Up to EUR 5 million for any<br />

breach of the draft implementation<br />

act by essential service<br />

operators,<br />

2. A maximum of EUR 1 million for<br />

failing to cooperate with a request<br />

for further information from the<br />

National Cyber Security Centre;<br />

and<br />

3. A maximum fine of EUR 1 million<br />

for failure to adequately cooperate<br />

with supervisory authorities<br />

exercising their competencies.<br />

Compared to other countries at the<br />

moment the Netherlands has the<br />

highest sanctions, but the lowest<br />

level of clearly defined obligations.<br />

Hungary has as well identified<br />
